ngl the idea of them doing a live action lilo&stitch pisses me off
Like it's not even the heartless cash grab on nostalgia that angers me, it's knowing they are going to film in hawaii rn with all the bullshit happening on the islands from what i've been hearing from actual natives and it boils my blood as someone who is also hawaiian but grew up on the mainland.
Also the fact that disney's tone deaf ass has a fucking resort there is so goddamn ironic given the underlying thing about tourism in the movie subtly told though Lilo's narrative. It's not a big focus of the film obviously, it's more talking about family which is GOOD AND FINE, I just.
I'm sorry I'm just tired cause I can't do anything to help people there cause I have no money to donate to organizations, I can't fly out there to protest, all I can do is when I see people there spreading information about every bullshit thing that happens every once in a while is help spread it too by doing research then retweeting stuff on twitter.
#venting about this cause it does steam me#like i can't do shit to help it's aggravating#too bad people are gonna keep on vacationing in hawaii#STOP GOING TO HAWAII#tourism is such a big problem#there is people that don't even have clean water#because surprise surprise guess who gets all the nice clean water#RESORTS AND TOURISTS#like honestly i am all for giving more hawaiian actors a chance to do movies#cause man we got little fucking rep#but god that is trumped by actual real life issues
