Quote from: Gothic_Redemption on June 04, 2013, 01:31:59 PMWhile I figure Briar is a POC, I hear you about representation. Briar is Ambiguously Brown, and Cedar is dark-skinned but is literally made of wood. If Briar isn't intended to be POC, the only POC that isn't a background character isn't even human./sj rantI think "ambiguously brown" nails it.I simply assumed Cedar was supposed to look stereotypically Italian with the wood aspect only being a minor feature on her limbs.Oh, and that just occurred to me: what if they'd introduce original "Aladdin" and the princess from hist story later on? Have them be Chinese. That would be so cool!

People have been going on about beastiality? Everyone I saw was simply amused by the prospect, not offended. But I think everyone I followed assumed a werewolf. And after all the earliest version I know of , it's a werewolf as the wolf.

Have them be Chinese. That would be so cool!Haha, I would love that! But chances are slim - considering the average bear doesn't even know there is a genie of the ring, I doubt they would pull a nerdy move like that and use the original story....If they did though, there would still be a few well-known character from 1001 Nights to use. Sindbad would be a great choice (handsome guy, sailor/ocean theme for clothing!) and while it's a bit meta, Scheherazade would be fantastic as charismatic booky type. Scratch that, she could be the perfect for a teacher!
Can we let the race thing go long enough to see what the dolls are even going to look like. I don't come here to read page after page of complaints! I'd like to actually see news about the line!

I see some people saying here and there that they personally would like some diversity. See lots of other comments about everything else in the world from the outfits they are wearing, to their face molds, to whether or not Little Red was the product of a werewolf or bestiality. Why is wishing for a Chinese character (say) any more problematic than wishing that Cupid had bone wings instead of feathered wings? Or any of those other topics? We're all entitled to our own opinions- isn't the whole point of the thread to discuss this stuff?
I just want to find out what Little Bo Peep's daughter's name is.
