Indeed,...a fat, puffy, oversensitive, feminized, safe-space craving FAGGOT society.

And Bill Cosby should get extra time in prison for his “Fat Albert” character.

Why do most Disney movies have kids that either have one or two dead parents?

1. Already had a Disney main character who was of Polynesian descent. (Lilo of "Lilo and Stitch.") The fact that she wasn't a princess is stretching the newsworthiness of being a groundbreaker a bit far.

2. Google "Samoans."

For more fun, look up "Bob Barker Price is Right Samoans." It was a long-running source of humor that all of the Samoan men on the show were enormous (not obese, enormous) and loved to treat Mr. Barker like the abominable snow creature and various other monsters liked to treat Bugs Bunny

Fat shaming needs to come back.

Nations with the highest rates of Obesity:

1. Nauru 94.5
2. Micronesia, Federated States of 91.1
3. Cook Islands 90.9
4. Tonga 90.8
5. Niue 81.7
6. Samoa 80.4
7. Palau 78.4
10. Kiribati 73.6

I’d only argue that calling it “obesity” is imposing a foreign ideal.

I don’t want gay star news in my history. LOL. It’s pathetic that they’re trying to make Elsa from Frozen a lesbian. “The message, girls, is that to be a strong and independent woman, you have to be with other women.”

Disney got some 'splainin' to do.

It’s a cartoon. You wanna know the secret of drawing cartoons? It’s EXAGGERATION! Just like I did with the word EXAGGERATION! Nobody really looks like Maui, Just like nobody has a safe dropped on their heads and lives.
Some people really need to lighten up.

Well, in perusing another article about this story, I learned that Duane “The Rock” Johnson and Roman Reigns are Polynesian, so I guess something good came out of this farce.
