I would do anything to ensure his happiness. I would protect him from all who bear ill will to him or seek to use him Azul. No matter how fleeting his smile is, I will make sure the next time it lingers just a little more.

This is recompense for the sad Jam I posted a week ago. I'm sorry y'all.

Let's criticize Disney and their awful decisions, one of my favorite activities.

Apparently they are working on a new animated show called "Primos" based on a latinoamerican household. However, they had no idea what they are doing and when people call them out, they are playing the "you don't understand" "it isn't that bad card".

One of the main issues is that they are using Spanish phrases that are grammatically incorrect. If this was a person speaking Spanish in the show, then it wouldn't be that bad because you could understand that it is learning the language, but they are using it in the slogan and main intro of the series. If you are going to use a phrase in another language as your slogan, at least be sure that is correct. Someone mentioned this to the main voice actress of the show, it should had been mentioned to the official page instead and the actress could had perfectly ignore it. But no, the actress choose to call that person a grammar n*zi and say that Spanish is a conqueror language. WTF?? And that is the person you choose to voice the main character?

There are more issues like the name of the kids - specially one named as the slang for p*ssy, which I found incredibly weird that they decided to use this word for a children name. The city is named Terremoto (Earthquake), a natural disaster that had caused hundreds of deaths in Latina American countries.

They started promoting the show as a latinoamerican household, and then changed as Mexican household when people told them Latina America was more than Mexico.

And one of my main issues is the awful design of characters with curly hair and brownish skin compared with characters with light skin. I mean, look at this:

Is as if they decided to do everything wrong on purpose.

So today I found out that dyslexics struggle to read Latin based languages but don’t have the same struggles with non Latin based languages.

And Greek is older than Latin.

So the whole “demigods can read Greek just fine but struggle with English” is not only canon but also has a factual base for it.

Another video recommendation

This one is kinda personal as a chicana whose parents didn’t teach her Spanish because they would get corporal punishment in school for speaking Spanish or even pronouncing their names correctly (example: Maria becomes Mary, Alberto becomes Albert). The backlash this show got was a masterclass in folks having no media literacy and much of their “criticisms” either answered in prior promotional material or in the same clips they were harping on.

Crossing fingers for the kiddos sake that the show continues and yeah some Latine folks just hate that Latin American folks exist for a variety of reasons that would take hours to explain how some of us got here. I got here because some of my family lived in former Mexican territory that was annexed by the US and some of them came following economic collapses. Also, that’s just sad if 4chan gives a show more grace than many of the detractors did.

Mirabel Madrigal has officially arrived for meet and greet at Magic Kingdom (Walt Disney World) and I couldn't be happier. She is my favorite character and comfort character combined, especially because Encanto is my favorite Disney movie.

Thank you for a wonderful experience, Mirabel ❤❤

The roller band should have been called los invisibles or any other name really would have been a better choice

Like what's with DCLA shows (cough cough violetta cough cough) and naming their bands the most stupids names ever

⚠️Long Post Alert⚠️

Alright I've seen a lot of (negative) buzz around Disney's new show "Primos" so I'm gonna put my 2 cents in

According to the Primos wiki, the show is about "Tater, an eccentric 10-year-old girl with big dreams and, unbeknownst to her, a certain “it factor” that makes her exceptional. When her 12 cousins (“primos” in Spanish) move in for the summer, they help her discover just what it is. Tater’s aspirations and larger-than-life imagination are seen via entries in her super-secret diary, which turn her deepest thoughts into grandiose animation sequences."

FIRST, it's yet ANOTHER piece of children's media about the main character + their large Latin American family.

Upon doing some research apparently this show is about the creator's personal experiences, which okay valid. But when creating media that meant to represent a community it would be better to offer a DIFFERENT perspective rather than give us the same trope that has been done to DEATH.

And I'm gonna be real with yall, I LOVE Coco and Encanto, but both movies also fall under this trope. Not all Latin American families live with their extended family, we don't need ANOTHER piece of media perpetuating the stereotype.

Also, Disney has been putting out a few shows on Disney Channel and Disney Junior that are clear knock offs of Nickelodeon shows. Some examples:

And...hm....lemme think....a kids TV show about a Mexican girl and her quirky large Mexican family getting into some Mexican™️ shenanigans...where have I seen that before...?

Oh right

Yeah the premises are slightly different, but it's essentially the same trope so already right off the bat Primos feels like a knock off version of The Casagrandes.

SECOND, there are many stereotypes already present in the series just from tbe opening theme. Many of the cousins fall into stereotypes themselves, particularly the names. Some the names of the cousins are Gordita, Big Nacho, Nachito, and Cookita. I've seen people justify the use of these names by saying many Latin Americans are given these names as nicknames, which is true. But then again, having a characters named Nacho and Gordita in a show that's supposed to be about LatAm representation is just in bad taste. It's giving "Marco Diaz from Star vs. the Forces of Evil being half Mexican and being obsessed with nachos for some reason but not representing his Latino heritage in any other way other than him wearing that Day of the Dead themed costume in The Blood Moon Ball ep." It feels lazy, and of course, stereotypical.

On TOP of this, the word "Cookita" in many LatAm countries is slang for pussy and the suffix "-ita" means small. And the character with this name is the BABY. So yeah maybe naming the B A B Y character something that to many Spanish speakers means "little pussy" in a show ABOUT Spanish speaking Latin Americans probably isn't the wisest decision.

Another detail people have been pointing out leans into negative Mexican stereotypes is the use of the "yellow filter".

Now I'm gonna be real and say I'm not 100% convinced about the yellow filter being used here. The show takes place over the summer, so the use of yellow might may be used to give the feeling of how hot it is, but I can totally see why Latin Americans would find this offensive.

Also the name "Terremoto Heights" has been heavily criticized. Terremoto means "earthquake" in Spanish and the earthquakes are common in LatAm countries. Then again, show takes place in LA, where a lot of earthquakes occur too. So Im not 100% convinced that this is flat out racist either, but it's definitely in poor taste.

THIRD, the thing that is being SLAMMED at the most, is the improper Spanish grammar and the creator's response to people pointing it out.

In the theme song, the phrase "¡Oye! Primos" is used a lot, which means "Hey cousins!" The issue with this phrase is that "Oye" means hey but in the singular tense, and "Primos" is plural. If you plug in "¡Oye! Primos" to Google translate you'll get Hey Cousins regardless, but in Spanish the phrase is not grammatically correct. In order for it to be grammatically correct the phrase would either need to be changed to "¡Oigan! Primos", "oigan" being the plural word for Hey, or "¡Oye! Primo" and make primo singular. People have been telling this to the creators of the series and well...they haven't exactly been taking it well.

Here's what the voice actress of the main character Tater, Myrna Garcia Velasco said her on social media (Instagram I think, I could be wrong) in response to the bad Spanish:

(If you can't listen to it I'll just summarize. Velasco says that Spanish is the language of the Spanish conquistadors and the only reason why Latinos are LATIN American and not indigenous is because of the Spanish, and to stay mad if you think her incorrect Spanish is an issue. She also brings up how they're "trying to make a good show" for kids who "don't have a grasp on any language" or something?? Idk that's pretty much what she's saying")

Basically this response doesn't make any fucking sense. "Spanish isn't our original language so it doesn't matter if I speak it correctly or not. I'm a NATIVE Mexican so it doesn't matter if I speak Spanish correctly or not"

???????

Girl what the fuck does this mean??? News flash, but the majority of Latin America has been speaking Spanish for CENTURIES. You go to Mexico or most other Latin American countries and you'll find them speaking SPANISH. Yes it's because of the Spanish but it's part of our culture now whether you like it or not. It's like saying "oh it doesn't matter if I speak English correctly or not cause English isn't the US' ORIGINAL language anyway" ?????

Now, the story IS about a mixed kid. Tater is half white half Mexican, so if Tater is a Latina girl who doesn't know Spanish fluently (otherwise known as a "No-Sabo" kid), then the imperfect Spanish would make sense. If the idea behind Primos is to represent the Latin American kids who don't speak Spanish, then yeah thats fine and it was a directoral choice. But judging by Velasco's response, that doesn't seem like thats the idea?? She immediately got defensive and brought up the Spanish colonizers?? Which is relevant??? HOW???

On top of that, one member of the creative team, (not 100% sure who) called someone a "Grammar N@zi" for pointing out the grammatical errors and, well...

That's def not helping their case.

How the HELL are you gonna make show about a Spanish speaking Latin American family and NOT SPEAK SPANISH PROPERLY??? How the HELL are you gonna start beef with SPANISH SPEAKERS over whether or not it's important to speak Spanish CORRECTLY when portraying SPANISH SPEAKING PEOPLE IN MEDIA??? Yes slang exists, yes different LatAm countries speak Spanish differently, but grammar still exists??

OVERALL: Do I think Primos is this horribly racist dumpster fire? No. Are there MANY choices in this show that are just in poor taste? Absolutely 100%. Are the responses from the creative team outta pocket? Yes of course.

If you ask me, I think the main reason why people are so outraged over Primos is because the stereotypes and tropes are tired and dated, and people KNOW what writers are capable of. The response of this teaser, sandwiched between The Owl House ending and the premier of Across the Spiderverse, which have STELLAR LatAm rep, is proof of that. Luz Noceda, Miles Morales and Miguel O'Hara are SHINING examples of good SPANISH SPEAKING LatAm representation in children's media. We CAN have good LatAm protagonists in mediation, we've SEEN IT. We don't need all the stereotypes and overused tropes, so it makes sense why so many LatAm people feel like Primos is offensive and a step backwards.

Disney is getting lazy, they need to get their shit together
