Do you remember that one movie where Richard Stallman gets up and makes a speech about how once in a while people need to set aside their ideals so we can actually make a real profit?

If they DID make such a movie, would it bother you?

It would bother me, because the while POINT of Richard Stallman (as far as I can tell) is to be stridently opposed to ever bending on these principles. I don't have a problem with people who put profits above principle, it's that I have a problem with Richard Stallman doing it -- it suggests that EVERYONE should put profits above principle.

I see a couple minor stylistic changes made to what a character is wearing.

I guess I need to see the movie, and the part where it's made obvious that "this girl would never wear anything other than a black burlap sack, ever, ever in her life, even in the future after the story ends. Ever." But I still don't think it would constitute some offensive sexist outrage. It would just be an inconsistent portrayal.

Er, her original dress is a floor-length green velvet one. You're exaggerating more than a bit. And maybe you do need to see the movie, since there are multiple scenes about how much she hates wearing dresses like this.
