MAGA is having another meltdown over a Hollywood casting choice, this time concerning an adaptation of a classic cartoon. <\/p>\n

The latest meltdown is sparked by news that Abbott Elementary<\/em> creator and star Quinta Brunson will star as Betty Boop in a live-action film, according to reporting by the Daily Beast. <\/p>\n

MAGA accounts called it “race swapping,” though Brunson’s defenders noted her resemblance to Betty Boop, the iconic, big-eyed cartoon character from the early 20th century. <\/p>\n

“There is only one reason to bring back an iconic piece of Americana just to race swap it like this,” wrote right-wing influencer Matt Walsh on X. “Even a faithful Betty Boop reboot probably wouldn’t sell many tickets. A race-swapped Betty Boop has absolutely no chance of success. But they do it anyway out of spite.” <\/p>\n

Other MAGA accounts cried out that Hollywood was “race-rage baiting to no end with their woke DEI antics” and that it needs to “STOP replacing WHITE people,” according to posts shared by the Daily Beast. <\/p>\n

Mark Fleischer, the grandson of Betty Boop’s creator, Max Fleischer, is working with Brunson on the adaptation, the Daily Beast reported. Although Fleischer never said the character was based on a single person, the “closest inspiration” was Black jazz singer Esther Jones, according to the Daily Beast and 1934 reporting by the New York Times. <\/p>\n
