Ahh, back when clickbait had to scourge for fake things instead of just boiling 1000 gallons of water.

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.

And part of the reason the setting is almost never China in adaptations is that the original 1001 Nights version of the story is very much set in China in name only, with the setting being modeled after the Middle East anyway. I mean, there are two jinns, a sultan, and the sorcerer is from Morocco. And when characters are actually named, they have decidedly non-Chinese names like Mustapha.

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.

I feel like this kind of bullshit is a distraction from actual criticisms of the way the movie Aladdin depicts the Middle East.

A Palestinian friend once went on this mini rant about how Aladdin wasn’t even Middle-Eastern. Al Addin (according to the friend) means “The Easterner.” So Aladdin should have been Indian or Korean or something.

TIL from comments here that Aladdin was originally set in China, so this is very plausible.

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 - lemmy.world/comment/23310329

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.

Maybe it is a hair on your screen because I’m not seeing what you’re seeing.

The comments here feel like the lefts version of complaining when a kids movie gets the wrong culture put into a lead role and the right complains… Like when the right complained about the Little Mermaid.
But_my_mom_says_im_cool@lemmy.world 9 hours ago
So by your logic, Ariel being played by a black actress is the same thing John Wayne playing an Asian person while squinting?
