Little Mermaid Casting Backfires

>Cast black actress as Little Mermaid >Outrage causes movie to get more attention than it would have if they had cast white actress Congratulations, you played yourselves

A screenshot of an anonymous imageboard post above a picture of a pale red-haired young woman resembling a traditional depiction of Ariel. The post sarcastically argues that outrage over casting a Black actress as the Little Mermaid only gave the film more publicity than a white actress would have. It is used to mock people whose backlash unintentionally boosts the thing they oppose.
