Disney new trailer of "Peter Pan and Wendy". Black Tinkerbell, female "lost boys", Wendy featured

Wendy fights with a sword.

even Peter Pan looks a little bit brown (not black but the actor is not white) .

upsetting the "anti Wokers", they are losing their minds

It didn't groom me for anything. I grew up to be a white, heterosexual, cisgender man; the kind of guy who is supposed to hate everyone who isn't those things.
