Part 2/8:
Rachel Zegler’s casting as Snow White was announced with high expectations, but her subsequent interviews quickly fueled dissent. She openly criticized the original Disney classic, suggesting the need to "fix" the character to align with modern feminist ideals. These comments did not sit well with segments of the audience who hold nostalgic attachment to the classic, leading to viral backlash across social media platforms. Critics argued that her words reflected an unnecessary politicization and cultural rewriting of a childhood favorite, further fueling debates on Hollywood’s so-called "wokeness."
