I feel like this kind of bullshit is a distraction from actual criticisms of the way the movie Aladdin depicts the Middle East.
"Where they cut off your ear
If they don’t like your face
It’s barbaric, but hey, it’s home."
For some reason they kept the “barbaric” part.
I mean, the origination of the story is a mess to begin with so of course it’s going to misrepresent things, this comment kinda goes into the details a bit - https://lemmy.world/comment/23310329
Gotta eat to live, gotta steal to eat, otherwise we get along 🎵
The original Aladdin story in One Thousand and One Nights is set in China (Aladdin is also Chinese), is based on a middle eastern folk tale, and was written and added to the book by a Frenchman. And then it’s most recognizable incarnation (at least to a western audience) migrates the setting and characters to a fictional Arabic kingdom and gives him an American white guy voice. The character, Aladdin’s, cultural identity as we know it is a little all over the place.

An American white guy voice from the 90s
Aladdin is the most stereotypical, tv trope, radalicious, woahhhh, duuude voice
It’s like one or two steps away from being a Ninja turtle.
Throw in the fan theory that Disney’s version takes place thousands of years in the future.
Yeah… what? Please explain, you have my full attention
Wait. What? Have not heard that one.
It is a theory to explain how genie knows about things like automobiles and 20th century movie stars. It posits that these are only anachronisms if the story is set in the past, as commonly assumed. But setting it in the far distant future eliminates the problem. It also explains the apparent “magic” in the world as remnants of a fallen high-tech civilization.
Rajah the tiger? Genetic engineered. Magic carpet? Hover tech. Buried stop signs (video game only)? Ancient relic. It’s really quite surprising how well this theory fits.
Even if it wasn’t different media.
“Look guys! Here’s Aladdin in a dark alley in the evening and then later he’s in the open air in broad daylight and the fucking cartoonists colored his skin lighter!”
Oh, but you’re forgetting that any attempt to apply basic reasoning or logic when someone is trying to paint something as racist makes you a racist…
This guy social medias
could make his blue shirt gold as well
I know right
That’s not a hair on my screen
Maybe it is a hair on your screen because I’m not seeing what you’re seeing.
Yeah, I noticed that as well.
This reminded me of the crush I had as a kid on Jasmine and that rule34 is a thing… Fuck yeah!
Ahh, back when clickbait had to
scourgescour for fake things instead of just boiling 1000 gallons of water.Okay. The Aladdin thing. THAT’S NOT FUCKING
And yet it’s literally a blowjob. Checkmate (/s)
“I did not have sexual relations with that demigod.”
Ah yes, the two races: poor and white.
Oh so I’m mixed race.
i think the us president said that a few years ago
Ok, I never thought I will type “Aladdin yaoi” in my search engine, but here we are. There are far more Aladdin x Hercules hentai than I expected, so I couldn’t find where this exact screenshot is coming from.
Found the original panel, can’t find the whole comic.
NSFW obviously.
I found a version which has Goofy at the bottom and Donald is mentioned, so it’s not only about these two guys but more Disney characters:
nsfw
The oldest upload I could find is from 2008 May: https://rule34.paheal.net/post/view/146150 This comic is old enough to buy beer in europe.
Goofy at the bottom
From the phrasing and context, I was expecting something else when I clicked.
Ahh it’s kingdom hearts yaoi even better
I never played with that game, so I didn’t notice it, but you are right! Gummi ship and Sora are there. It’s fun that I learn about this game by researching a gay fanfic comic.
I hope you two sanitize your search histories AND your keyboards/screens/desks before your respective wives/girlfriends find this. And wash your hands!
Lol, do I sound like someone who speaks with irl people?
You mean like… speaking to someone in the same room? While they’re looking at you? With their eyes?!
I love that their speech bubbes have different fonts! And none of them is PAPYRUS. High quality comic, with additional care about historicity! Now I’m interested in the full comic, I’m on it.
Wow, even with the image from the OP, I still didn’t expect Hercules to be darker than Aladdin.
Reverse image search?
TinEye searched over 83.3 billion images but didn’t find any matches for your search image.
Afaik Tineye hasn’t been updated in years. Both Google and Yandex find a bunch of images, including an image with a different background and darker-skinned Aladdin with his jacket still on, but striking the same pose.
I recognize that bulge.
There were fee more, non-subtle stuff too tbf.
