If you can’t think of a way to make the name stick for anyone in a new bit of the story, and be that for the new generation, you aren’t very creative at all.
Language and stories change. Deal with it.

But names can’t change?
Nope. She’s kinda beige.
But feel free to hire her for your porno version starring a middle aged woman.
I guess it’s okay she’s not a young girl. But not if she’s Italian.
You should publish a monograph on your rules for adaptations. They won’t charge you too much to self publish.

Maybe he can convince Disney to stick to the original story of Sleeping Beauty. She slept a bit longer than in the movie. About 9 months longer.

I’m not sure how casting someone who isn’t extremely white wouldn’t simply refute that as being the implication of the name. You’re the only one here dedicated to it meaning that.
And by the way, I guess you’re claiming this same objection would still have come up if they had cast someone like say Emma Watson or Lily James because they simply aren’t pale enough, but somehow I really, really doubt it…

I guess sometimes it’s not worth it to give people the benefit of the doubt. Would have been a quick end, but the seems to want to go on until the topic is shut down.

The only one who INSISTED that snow white MUST be a name the refers ONLY to her skin color is YOU. We’re all arguing the literally opposite of that.
Stop gaslight people, FFS.

All I know is if anyone casts Amber Ruffin as Snow White I’m watching that production. If you can imagine a world you can imagine any world…
internet discourse on creative fiction worlds really gets shockingly boring fast to be blunt. It gets depressing… like people saw a painting with a horse in it once and forever after if they see a painting they need to see the same damned horse in it.

She’s cool and all, but I keep getting confused as to why her skin isn’t orange-yellow.

That’s probably because the same tired old boring arguments from that same tired old boring white male perspective get trotted out that we all have to argue against, rather than having an substantive discussion on art and culture that makes you think. They just swoop in and suck up all the damn air in the room, not leaving room for some thoughtful discourse… just look at this thread…

I’m pale Ivory with more pink 
midwinter I’m as white as white gets and I’m still not actually white.
Hmm. How about a snow white with ebony skin, white hair and red lips? She’d look stunning.
Oooo. That would be awesome. It could be a funny and biting commentary on fairy tail tropes.

The wife’s name translates to “Dancing Snow” because she was born in a blizzard. White she ain’t.

雪 (Yuki - Snow) and 美雪 (Miyuki - Beautiful Snow) are common for girls born in the winter in Japan regardless of the actual weather. Names can have all sorts of meanings.

They should cast me for the role, I’m a greying hairy Scotsman with skin paler than any on that chart. I’ve even been on stage once! Disney, I’m waiting for your call.
