>Critics Are Calling Out Disney for Fat-Shaming Polynesians With ‘Moana’ Character

>According to New Zealand politician Jenny Salesa, the body shape of Maui is cause for concern. “When we look at photos of Polynesian men and women from the last 100-200 years, most of our people were not overweight and this negative stereotype of Maui is just not acceptable,” she writes on Facebook. “No thanks to Disney.”

>Salesa calls Maui’s depiction “obese,” and thinks children might get the wrong message about their bodies. “The environment our kids grow up in and what they are exposed to have a role to play. Disney movies are very influential on our children. It is great that Moana is the lead. However, it is disappointing that Maui, one of our beloved historical ancestors from hundreds of years ago, who was a very strong man [and] a skilled navigator, is depicted to be so overweight in this kids’ movie.”

So let me get this straight:

>Disney is fat-shaming by portraying a protagonist as fat instead of a muscular superhero

>Because being fat is "negative" although people of any size should be confident about their body and their ability to do anything

The amount of cognitive dissonance leftists have is astounding.
>>
aren't the critics fat shaming? nothing wrong with being fat
>>
Aren't like 60% of all polynesians obese? How fucking retarded.

I'm not surprised

Polynesians are a bunch of thin skinned pussies. Absolutely no bantz allowed at all. They just start crying like little girls.

>Aren't like 60% of all polynesians obese? How fucking retarded.

That's directly addressed in the OP. The point is that it's a historical movie, showing a historical person, before they had enough food to dream about being obese.

It's like trying to shove black people into medieval england TV shows in a way.

Although it is funny that they're stuck in the damned if you do / damned if you don't paradox. Not having fat characters - an outrage! Having fat characters - an outrage!
>>
>>79840559
The character looks like a fucking tank, very power lifter frame. Literally what is the problem?
>>
>>79840559
Well it is retarded indeed, traditionnal food in polynesia is fish and fruits, how can you get fat from that.
Of course now with the burgers it's different.
But yeah reactions are retarded too
>>
the bigger problem is why isn't the girl fat?
oh yeah because it's okay to have fat guys but not okay to have fat girls
though if you've ever been on the receiving end of fat guy sex it totally sucks and fat guys need the most shaming because they were given a body biologically prone to athleticism and they just fucking ruin it

I don't think many people would call someone like that "fat".

I really want to start some kind of monetized blog that caters to the people who are enraged by this sort of thing, seems like easy clicks, easy $$$. You can warp your perspective so that literally anything can be perceived as problematic, articles would be so fucking easy to write.

>>79842563

So you mean buzzfeed and the guardian?
>>
>>79842411
Because they have been genetically selectionned to retain the most fat of what they eat, because their traditionnal food contains pretty much no fat.
Therefore when your food becomes macdonalds you become fat very easily

Roadhog in Overwatch is Polynesian and he's at least 3 times fatter than any other member of cast.

If this is a stereotype it's got roots deeper than i realised.

Hes not fat, hes bearmode aka realistic strong, look at any strongman competition

I'm fine with all the shit this movie gets
It's Disney trying to make the frozen lightening strike twice , and it will blow better, more recent movies, such as zootopia , into the dustbin to be forgotten because "muh feminism"

He's a fuckibg demigod that chose a physical form

Yet you people want faggots, trannies, and other tiny minorities injected into everything when they hardly exist compared to the rest of the population. Brilliant doublethink.

Polynesian here... Maui was a demigod and not a fat bushpig. He was an expert sea navigator and athletic as he ran around doing shit.

What the fuck. If anything, wouldn't you be proud? The whole theme behind him is strong as fuck warrior hero, and he has the body to back it up.

Picture obviously related. This guy could probably crush someones skull with one hand if they dared call him "fat".
