Yeah, because Chinese cultural censors are Disney’s fault.

Government mandated racism is still racism. Worse than normal racism, even.

No shit. But op is trying to pass it off as Disney being the sole problem here. These fucking wumao try to gloss over the fact that it is because of China’s racist government that the poster was altered, and try to pass it off as the west being racist.

You’re overthinking this and ascribing way too much intent for a basic complaint about disney being complicit with racist policies.

How does the saying go? If you have 9 Nazis in a room and one regular dude, you actually have ten Nazis in a room? Disney is that tenth dude in this picture.

Yeah but presumably they watch the film, so what’s the point in changing the poster

Once they bought the tickets, Disney doesn’t care if they hate the characters. They got the money. They don’t need people to enjoy the film or the characters. They just need tickets sold.

There are a bunch of English posters without his face as well.

The west prioritises showing the faces of actors and China apparently doesn’t or they do with stars that are known in China.

If he was a nobody in the USA it’s much more likely that he would have a mask.

OR, they hide black people on the posters to make China happy.

Yes that’s possible but there is no evidence of that being the case. So why jump to conclusions?

Before looking I remembered when this happened and thought, yeah, they shouldn’t have caved and cut Finn out. Then I looked. Those bastards dropped Chewie from the poster???

I don’t know why, but both of these posters look oddly proportioned. The balance is just off.
