The last time we checked in on the intrepid right-wing culture warriors at Bounding Into Comics, they were pitching a fit over the race- and gender-swapping of some of the characters in Disney’s live-action remake of Peter Pan & Wendy. In the new version of the film, you see, neither Peter Pan nor Tinkerbell is white–and some of the Lost Boys are girls! Naturally, this makes the Bounding Into Comics guys very mad, for some completely unknown reasons that couldn’t possibly be racism or misogyny.
Anyway, they’re still at it–but now they’ve decided to take their revenge on Hollywood in general and Disney in particular by using Gab’s “based” AI image maker Gabby to “reimagine” some recently race-swapped characters like Ariel from the Little Mermaid and Tinkerbell from Peter Pan as … the same white people they were to begin with. They’ve also “reimagined” some characters that haven’t been race-swapped as … the white people they’ve always been. Apparently, they prefer their movies very white, thank you very much, and how dare you call them racist.
They declare:
Hollywood continues calling everyday Americans “racist” for refusing to lap up the “reimagined” characters and other garbage it keeps serving up. And in the spirit of embracing the conflict it demands to have, it’s time again to use AI-generated art to reimagine The Little Mermaid and other characters that Hollywood has reimagined. And hopefully the reimagining done today will infuriate Our Moral Superiors more than ever.
Here, the Bounding Into Comics folks deliver a crushing blow to Woke Hollywood by using Gabby to make … white Ariel and white Snow White.
They do equally creative “reimaginings” of some male characters as well, including Tarzan, Robin Hood, and Conan the Barbarian, all depicted as the white dudes they’ve always been.
But, hey, two can play this game. Using the AI image generator Midjourney, I’ve taken it upon myself to reimagine some of these same characters in ways that might disturb and frighten the excitable editors of Bounding Into Comics. You’ve met Black Snow White already. Let’s look at a few others.
Here’s black Tarzan:
A pink-haired Latina Robin Hood:
Indian Lara Croft:
Drag queen Tinkerbell:
And, of course, gay Conan the Barbarian, seen here checking out dudes at a Pride parade.
I realize this post is vaguely ridiculous, but then again, everything associated in any way with Bounding Into Comics will be.

It’s live now, Sunday evening EST. Obsidian’s live interview with Just Pearly Things and ADOS/FBA Black Americans and British Africans calling in to give the Pearly White Woman King of the Black Manosphere a piece of our minds:
@David Futrelle:
It just hit me: your Snow White seems to have been cast as Janelle Monae. This is not even remotely an objection.
