seems legit.
>>71452980
All three men are steroid users, not exactly a representative sample pool.
>>71452980
And do they care about all the fat polonesians who now have a role model to look up too, why does it matter if the character is fat if he is proud of his image?
>>71452980
All three men are steroid users, not exactly a representative sample pool.
Recent research suggests that weight stigma precipitates weight gain and increased calorie intake as well as other psychological correlates, such as lower self-esteem and depression.
Samoans are some of the fattest people on earth
>>71452980
>Roman Reigns
LOL. And what the fuck, Rock's dad is black!
I refuse to believe that any Polynesians are mad about this.
1) they're way too chill
2) they're all fat as hell
>Roman Reigns
>hollywood
Roman has a belly too. He has to wrestle with a vest on to hide it.
>one character is fat
>for some reason this means every Polynesian is fat
not every character is a statement about a population, sometimes a character is just a character.
it would be just as dumb to say that if he was skinny they are making the statement that every Polynesian is skinny.
It's not racist to give characters negative attributes, it's realistic.
>>71453076
>Hollywood should use representative sample pools
Then they should stop hiring actors after they get thin or fit and only let them lead when they're beach balls.
>>71452980
If they made him skinny, people would just be complaining there were no fat characters.
Go find something else to complain about you hyper-sensitive faggots.
i'm from nz and can confirm that polynesians are fat fucks
>>71452980
>fat shaming
He's clearly strongfat. That is to say, actually built like the strongest men on earth; not Hollywood actors.
>>71452980
He's supposed to be a shapeshifting demigod, he can be as fat as he fucking wants.
That guy looks like could wrestle a great white shark and win. The fuck are they complaining about?
>>71452980
They do know the Polynesian man in the middle is voicing him right? He's ok with it, why should they be upset?
I also I think its clear he's supposed to be big cause he's strong not fat, maybe they don't like how he looks but nothing in the trailer was like "lol look at this fat guy!" he's supposed to be a god, he's strong.
>>71452980

hey look it happened to us too guess you Kalua niggers can call off the race war now
>>71452980
Wat, I thought SJW's wanted more fat characters in movies and shows without being pushed as negative?
>>71453353
Agreed fellow kiwibro, let's shout these critics a holiday to Otara
>>71452980
I saw the screening event for Moana at annecy and let me tell you: that character looks fucking good, shaming polynesians my ass, his face has lots of expresivity, his tattoos are 2D animations, he's strong as 10 Rocks.
You wish you were that demigod, broseph.
>>71452980
No, people are fat shaming the character.
The character is based on an actual guy.
>>71452980
No idea who the dude on the left is, but the Rock and Drogo are for sure on steroids
>>71452980
why doesnt this clickbait shit ever have comments enabled
>>71453813
It's women making these claims. In general women don't know shit about muscle or fitness of any kind. Guys are the ones who know/care about the difference between strong, fat, and strongfat.
>>71452980
>two literally who's and the rock
>handsome
AS A WESTERN WHITE MALE I FIND THIS INCREDIBLY OFFENSIVE AND DEMAND THAT WE BOYCOTT DISNEY FOR THIS RACIST DEPICTION #BOYCOTTMICKEY
Idiots saying this aren't the problem. There are morons everywhere. The media are the problem for reporting trivial shit like this.
Is he just supposed to be generic Polynesian, or from Hawaii or Samoa?
Not giving him a distinct ethnicity seems like thee thing that people would be getting mad about, like with Aladdin.
>>71453981
Aside from that though isn't the Rock doing his voice? That's the guy in the middle of that picture no?
So what the hell they're "hot Polynesian man" is totally cool with it but they think they can say no this is wrong? Pretty ridiculous.
>>71454064
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M%C4%81ui_(Hawaiian_mythology)
1. Pacific Islanders are some of the fattest people on Earth
2. The Rock and Roman Reigns were born in America (not sure who the other guy is)
3. The Rock had titty surgery in 2003 because he was developing fatty man breasts
>>71452980
Polynesians that were raised in American and in some cases not even full Polynesian. They're obviously cherry picking too. 90% the Rock and Roman's relatives are fucking huge dudes. They're the outliers.
>>71454248
Apparently he's not only from Hawaii, anon, he's in the mythology of many other islands.
>>71454248
So he's supposed to be the Hawaiian Superman?
I always figured from his build and tattoos that he was supposed to be Samoan.

From what they told us at the Annecy screening, he's supposed to be a legend from all around the Polynesia, changing from total hero to trickster/hero depending on the place.
I'm 100% sure it's not only based on Hawaii by any means.
I don't think I've ever seen a Polynesian in real life that wasn't obese, including their children
In the same trailer there are other characters showed, they aren't all fat.
Another non-issue blew up by the media.
>>71452980
Who is Rikishi?
>>71452980
Samoans are extremely fat, many polynesians are, we have huge family dinners several times a year, food is a big part of the culture and you eat a lot of it. People like the Rock and the other guys in that image are extremely rare. And would these people call the character fat and ugly if it was a female instead? Or would they applaude the studio instead?
I honestly thought that was all muscle not fat. Am I the only one that thought that?
>>71453172
I'd still fuck her
Also leave Chris Phat alone!

Hmmmm. I wonder why they made him obese.
>>71454511
Most Hawaiians aren't obese, and many are actually really attractive. It used to be considered a sign of wealth and nobility in Hawaiian culture to be obese, but it's not the norm.
>>71454418
polynesian/pacific islander is the largest distributed ethnicity in the world. Anthropologists agree they pretty much invented navigation by stars back when everyone else was busy re-inhabiting Europe and Asia. All of Polynesia is pretty much one cultural continuum.

can also confirm that polynesians are fat fucks. polynesian families have been known to put buffet style restaurants out of business.
>>71452980
christ the woman isn't fat and the rock character is just builtfat, and what the fuck happened to fat acceptance. Whatever, I would actually be glad about this controversy if it hurt disney in any way which it won't
He has a good, interesting design.
When you put him side by side with other characters in the movie you can also tell that he's not all the way there on the human side, he's kinda massive. The rest of the people shown in the movie are way more fit than actual polynesians, I'd bet.
Polynesians are thick af.

it's true. Even fucking Somoans know this. I literally saw a dude wearing some fucking Polynesian clothing line and apparently their mascot is a silhouette of a dude with triple neck-back chin. I can't find the picture but I swear to God, these people are proud of their fatness.
>>71454758
It was like that in pretty much every culture in the world, because it used to be that only rich people could get fat.
These days being fat is a sign of being poor and stupid.
>>71454983
They do tho
Or at least, significantly increase your fat burn percentage, instead of muscle
God pacific islanders are the most eternally assblasted race in existence. Not even niggers are this sensitive.

>>71452980
Reminder al Pacific islanders get fat because they were supposed to starve in the winter and fatten up in summer. I'd hate it if my metabolism was like that

This. I imagine most actual Pacific Islanders watching this and going [*in pidgen*] "ha ha! dat fat fukka look jus like my cuisine keole!"
Racism can be construed from basically anything if someone is looking for examples of racism. If Disney were to somehow downplay the existence of the character in the OP, another Polynesian could look at that and conclude that the racists at Disney are trying to ignore the existence of Polynesians. Is it any wonder that racism appears to be everywhere when this is your world?
We need to begin by smashing the premise: The fact that you feel that you're being discriminated against and can build some scenario in your head that involves racism does not make it true, or even tip the scales in favor of it being true. You cannot see into the heads of the people around you. "Listen and believe" is robbing the target that you're accusing of anything resembling a voice. This is why the only fair, non-hypocritical way to approach the problem of racism is with objectivity and evidence.
Of course, that would basically destroy all of the foundations of the far left establishment, who rely on running from objectivity to keep building their power. People who aren't scared and ignorant also aren't as profitable as those who are, which is a big concern for these profit-oriented public speakers and article writers who drive the far left. That's why they're never going to leave of their own free will, and why we need to throw them out by force.

It's Disney tradition to have a big bellied, comedic relief sidekick. This movie is only an issue because it's already a stereotype that Pacific Islanders look like that.

In the credit sequence you seem them become unfat over time, and I would just say that their superior future medical tech helped their bones reshape in a way that wouldn't kill them, gradually over time. Wall-E has probably the best end credit sequence of any Pixar movie to date.

Wall-e was the most based Disney (or whatever studio) movie probably ever made.
Do you really not understand that the fat people thing was a joke aimed at the parents? That we live in a post-ironic, sarcastic as fuck age where everybody understands that some things are terrible for us and are taking the culture in a terrible direction, and will joke about it but not care enough to give up modern conveniences to do anything about it.
The fat people were supposed to be the audience goer staring back at them sitting in an air-conditioned theater with a soda, popcorn, candy, and comfy reclining chair.
>>71456557
Problem is, the cases with objetivity and evidence can still get tampered and not get any resolution.
Racial HATE, it's real. It is hard to prove, if the aggressor is not loud and idiotic, like skinheads. I know a lot people like that.
Racial whatever it's called, when it's you cut a black person from getting a job ? Fuck if I know. May be a social construction, a leeser degree of racial hate, people using excuses or all made up.
When both are in the same case, it's hard to get a satisfying resolution.

My father didn't even have a cellphone untill a few months ago. Parents that went to the movies in 2008 didn't live in the isolated tech world that fats lived in the movie. This kid's generation, live in the isolated tech world.
That's not Disney's foreshadowing.
That's not Disney critizacing a rampant snowballing cellphone trend.
That's Disney brainwashing ad they have been doing this since forever.
Disney sell dreams since the first park opened. They don't have to be real dreams. Because it doesn't even matter if the dreams are satisfying, and give meaning to the kids, or not. Disney is a company. Not a charity.
>>71456730
identity politics are built on race. you can't learn where you fit on the chart ranking systems of oppression if you do not know what category everyone fits. Im not going to lose the oppression olympics just because you are too lazy to learn about your privilege

>implying advermemeing with ragebait isn't the best form of free advertising
>>71457516

The point wasn't that they were foreshadowing, it's that they were commenting one things that many movie goers were already joking about in a highly hypocritical way. Nothing was ever mentioned about cellphones, and the fact that your dad was among the many holdouts (I've never owned a smarphone, btw) doesn't make any difference.
>>71452980
its well known that polynesians are huge as fuck.
its not even a bad stereotype, its seen as them being bigger and stronger generally
does the rock have to workout extra hard to combat his obese island genes or does it help since fat is easily turned into muscle?
>>71457918
He got liposuction surgery around 10 years ago. Though he was still pretty buff before then.
>>71457261
They're far less likely to be tampered with when the people who do the research aren't actively being taught that the feelings of their arbitrarily selected poor oppressed groups are more important than the evidence.
This post-modern bullshit doesn't do the world one ounce of good, or serve any purpose beyond obscuring objective truths. It's not scientific or intellectually sound, and it needs to go.
>when it's you cut a black person from getting a job ?
Stuff like this can be proven with research. I can think of a few things to look at right away:
-Are these black candidates as qualified as their competition? It would be racist to hire them if not.
-Or perhaps, are black workers continuously running to labor unions over nothing and causing trouble for the employers, leading to the employers being wary about bringing a new troublemaker on board? And did these candidates who got rejected show signs of this mentality?
See, you can look at the employer and ask questions to get a pretty good feel for whether it's racism or something else.
>You just listed a racist scenario!
Racial profiling is not the same as racism. Racism is, by definition, biased. Racial profiling is a form of gathering evidence from one's background to predict a behavior. For the sake of fairness, they should attempt to gather further information to make sure that the way that they were born doesn't unfairly block them. Will this guy call the union and scream racism when we don't replace his broken office chair right away? See if you can get that from him. His feelings being hurt by the question is something that needs to be struck from relevance in legal terms, as his feelings have no bearing on whether someone else is biased.

There is literally nothing that you can do to please these people. If you followed a word by word instruction set from a group of SJWs on what to do for a project, another group that's not aware of the first group will find prejudice in your work.
That's how these emotion-driven movements that "feel" prejudice and shun the need to prove it operate.

You're assuming that their movement has a specific set of end goals, and they use logic to reach for said goals.
In reality, their movement is founded in what they feel at the moment. When you go to school for this stuff, this how they encourage you to think. This is already going into full blown "we need to oppress people who are white, male, straight, healthy, and/or disagree with us!" territory, and it's only going to get worse until they're sent screaming and cursing out of our institutions.

Should have clarified. He's not a 'Hollywood' actor as the image implied.
>>71458638
I used to think that, but upon learning more about them and the foundations of their movement (I probably know more about it than most of them do at this point), this behavior is actually embedded into their ideology.
As I've said a few times in this thread, they view prejudice as something to be felt by the "oppressed", and (according to them) they have no obligation to prove it or even be logically consistent. All that matters is that a poor oppressed brown person feels that he's being discriminated against, and they need to stop it. Their "academics" will say that attempts to actually look at the problems objectively with a specific set of goals and scientific research not viewed through a post-modern (look this up if you don't know about it) lens will lead into eugenics and fascism. They actively fight against positivists, who want to approach social issues scientifically.

I really think you're overthinking this.
It's just board millennials on social media who realized they can can scream and nitpick the littlest things and get a response from people because it's considered pc. For the most part I think it's exactly the same as people who post on 4chan; they're just bored and need something do on when sitting in front of the computer. Most of them aren't trying to change the world, their just arguing about bullshit to pass the time.
Its not a stereotype if its true

Yawn, I've seen this one a thousand times this year
>>71458869
Have you ever seen hum cut a promo? Wrestlers are actors, but Roman ain't an actor.
>>71459617
I'm saying that this is the mentality that leads into the screaming, and their bullshit has even progressed as far as to be taught in academia as how professionals in the social sciences and the media should behave.
It doesn't come from out of nowhere. You also can't just handwave it as "lol millennials, they're harmless". They vote, and they go into the media and academia so that they can push this bullshit more and see to it that the head-nodding continues. It might be stupid as fuck, but that's really what makes it a serious problem.

I graduated from a very leftwing liberal arts college in '07 so I guess I'm technically a millennial, but things were nothing like they are now back then, and there's nowhere else to blame other than youtube and social media, that give an instantaneous global voice to an extreme vocal minority.
You spend 30 minutes writing a clickbait article problematizing the dumbest little thing in a major Hollywood movie and the next day that's what people are talking about around the watercooler (or sharing through their social media, which is how everything apparently works these days).

this is why I left /pol/ because little faggots like you are more sensitive than any of the races you call out supposedly to be.
I don't know much about other Pacific Islanders, but if anyone is interested about what Hawaiians actually care about white people thinking about them, I'd highly recommend, "Hawaiian: The Legend of Eddie Aikau" (it's on Netflix if that's your thing).

They were definitely there in 2006. My sociology instructor was teaching this shit, and I've been seeing it in the media for as long as I can remember.
The difference is that they just stayed in their ivory towers while people on the outside begrudgingly accepted the rule of PC garbage.
People advocate being quiet, but that's precisely what caused this problem to begin with and allowed them to entrench themselves and cement their bullshit as "just the way things are". Speak while you still can without police coming in to haul you off to jail.
>social media
I'd pin this recent boom on a long standing establishment sensing people's growing discontent with them.
Social media has been something of a double edged sword for these guys, and I'd actually say that the sharper edge is pointed at them. Even though the old media try to control information with a heavy far left wing bias, youtube and the social media websites allow criticism and information that they don't like to circulate regardless. Of course, the channels that we use to organize and communicate are also a part of this establishment, and are actively trying to shut down criticism of the far left by labeling arguing with them as harassment or hate speech.

I thought we were talking about stupid, outspoken wackos who nitpick shit like a Samoan being depicted as fat in a Disney feature film, but you're full on bat shit, tinfoil hat delusional.
Times are a changing, largely because everyone has the internet in their pocket, but it's really not that big of a deal, and really doesn't affect anything that important in your life.
>>71456948
Hey cuz, good to see another brown cunt on here fighting those fuckers.
I'm pretty wound up over this bullshit cultural appropriation. I bet Maori don't even get a mention in this movie eh.
>>71460739
So what, you think that this came out of nowhere? No rhyme or reason other than "people like to complain"? There's a very well documented progression behind this shit. It's not new. Basically, you're looking at the feces of the civil rights era, the irrational aspects of it. That's not tinfoil, that's history.
Yeah, it has no effect on anything important. Except affirmative action, divorce courts, silencing white people and men in the office and college during inter-racial or inter-sex disputes that touch on political correctness, removal of free expression for artists, places in our large cities that are statistically more dangerous than active war zones...nothing big.
It has an origin, and I don't believe that stopping it is hopeless. A mixture of throwing them out of academia (their source of validity in the professional world) and a bit of meme warfare in the same vein as what destroyed emos could basically end them.
>>71454992
>these people are proud of their fatness
very true. fatness means power to them
>>71461068
You're quite ignorant, and I'm too drunk to write an essay on the many different ways.
This one Samoan on a season of The Biggest Loser explained that in their culture, they actually are unironically proud of how fat they are able to get. It's a power thing, and it's not that far out.
Think about it, would you want to tangle with a dude that weighs like 3 times what you do and is strong enough to carry it all around? You could fucking die if he fell on you the right way.
So...what's the line between "representation" and "offensive stereotype"?

Poly/white mix here. I can't speak for the other pacific islands, but Samoa is 100% Samoan owned and every village I've been to looks like a picturesque paradise, food is cheap, and only a small percentage of beachfront is occupied by hotels. Not only that but all hotels or resorts are owned and operated by the nearby village.
They are generally fat tho. But also strong. Look up the percentage of nfl players with a Polynesian background, it's nuts

Ironic.
In hamfisted attempt to fight for what they think is a silenced minority, they are in fact enforcing ideal white male body types on people who are not white.
Hawaiians sure as shit didn't "cut" when they wanted to be big back then. That is almost exclusively a western thing. Check your privilege, critics.

Polynesians like Aborigines have a higher risk of obesity and diabetes when they live on a western diet. Those 3 hot men are not the norm.

>this behavior is actually embedded into their ideology
You don't know what ideology means, with respect to critical theory, which I assume you are attempting to discuss.
>they have no obligation to prove it or even be logically consistent
What marxist, feminist, postcolonial, etc. theory have you actually read? Because that's literally the whole point of it- to explain how the oppressive mechanisms function.
>objectively
>scientific goals
Here's the thing: science used to be called "natural science", distinguished from "social science". Natural science dropped it's prefix, "natural", and is now just called "science", thereby situating itself as the only method of determining truth value. This can confuse because effaces the assumptions of a "scientific" approach and excludes other methods of pursuing truth value as illegitimate.
I get the sense from your post that, whatever you did actually read, if anything at all, you read it with the mindset of a Dawkins worshipper reading the bible. If you actually read any decent feminist theory (for example) and give it a fair shot, it will explain quite clearly how patriarchal power structures function to oppress women. You can then evaluate for yourself whether you agree or disagree with these claims.
Disclaimer: I am not bashing science- I am not an idiot. I am simply saying that there are insightful ideas to be arrived at by means other than "scientific". Your assumption otherwise reveals your deep entrenchment in ideology (a crucial term that you abuse and misunderstand).
Apologize.
>>71452980
This guy isn't even fat, he's bear-mode. He's a bit pudgy but most of that is solid muscle.
According to the article it's some MP saying "this is unacceptable" and like, one other Polynesian guy nobody's ever heard of complaining.
Everyone else can see that this guy is strong as fuck and his body shape is clearly stylised. This is an animated feature we're talking about.

Disney loves pillaging cultures for movie settings and there will always be someone upset about it. Did you know Hercules didn't follow Greek mythology perfectly? Yeah but it James Woods as Hades, so who cares.
It's the Polynesian communities turn to enjoy a little fake moral outrage. Let them have it. Most of the comments I've seen think Maui looks cool anyway.
