The most shameful misinterpretation I have ever seen
The following is in regard to some obnoxious SJW thinking Nightmare before Christmas tells the message that Cultural Appropriation is bad.
Wow, someone really, really misunderstood Nightmare before Christmas to a horrific and disgusting degree. Okay, let's begin.
1. Tim Burton has repeatedly explained what Nightmare before Christmas is about and it's not about cultural appropriation.
2. The end of the story has Santa bring snow to Halloween Town. And it's wonderful.
3. The soundtrack and novelization has the film's hidden epilogue where Santa comes and visit's Jack because he secretly likes Halloween. And he asks Jack if he could turn the mighty clock back would he do the whole thing all over again. And Jack turns and smiles and says "Wouldn't you?"
4. "Avoiding Cultural appropriation" is a vulgar and disgusting, misguided conceit of social justice warriors that has become nothing more than thinly veiled and willful cultural segregation. You know "Separate yet equal." Have you any idea how Tim Burton feels about such things? Half of Corpse Bride is inspired by Mexican Day of the Dead merged with Victorian English culture and a Jewish folktale for crying out loud! "Separate yet equal" / screaming "Cultural appropriation" would have denied Tim Burton half of his most brilliant films.
5. You honestly think Tim Burton- someone like him- would preach the important of conformity and sticking to your own kind? and never try and embrace something different?
6. I DARE you to tell Tim Burton this "Brilliant" interpretation and stay in the room with him for ten minutes with the door locked. Oh, and can you have a camera record the encounter?
