Dear other Austronesians

Butt-hurt much?

>>87882374

There is the Madagascar movie series and they're part Austronesian, but yeah, is only about animals and not people.

>>87882374

Why Polynesian men are hulking mosters and the other Austronesians are skinny Asians?

Yeah, the biomechanical beings need representation too.

You may have your little corner of the world, but we all have to share a planet. At some point, we're all just going to have to give up and accept that. "Your culture", "my culture", in the end, we're all from Earth. Get over it.

Does cultural appropriation make you feel down? Do thing seem hard or tough? And people are stupid, obnoxious or daft, and you feel that you've had quite enough?

Just remember that you're standing on a planet that's evolving and revolving at 900 miles an hour. It's orbiting 19 miles a second, so it's reckoned, the sun that is the source of all our power. Now the sun, and you and me, and all the stars that you can see are moving at a million miles a day in the outer spiral arm at 40,000 miles an hour, in a galaxy we call the Milky Way. Our galaxy itself contains 100 billion stars. It's 100 thousand light-years side to side. It bulges in the middle, 16,000 light-years thick, but out by us it's just 3000 light-years wide. We're 30,000 light-years from galactic central point, we go 'round every 200 million years, and our galaxy is only one of millions and billions in this amazing and expanding universe. The universe itself keeps on expanding and expanding in all of the directions it can whiz. As fast as it can go, the speed of light you know, twelve million miles a minute, and that's the fastest speed there is.

So remember, when you're feeling very small and insecure, how amazingly unlikely is your birth. And pray that there's intelligent life somewhere out in space, 'cause there's bugger all down here on Earth.

Now you know what it feels like to be Norwegian or Danish while those gay fucking Swedes whore themselves out to the entire world for attention and declare their rotten little burg of Stockholm, "the capital of Scandinavia" despite never having led a unified Scandinavia liked Denmark did or even pulling in the same amounts of visitors as Oslo or Copenhagen.

All that matters is how hard you force your particular brand of culture on others, so hop to.

>>87882374
You want your culture exploited and misrepresented by Disney too?

>>87882374

I don't really care, I'm not a cultural cuck who gets mad that my skin color isn't being represented in some dumb generic cartoon.

Dude...This movie isn't an ehtnology essay. It's not the end all be all of culture. It's AN ANIMATED MOVIE FOR CHILDREN. It doesn't "represent" you. It just uses pieces of a culture as source material.
It's not a documentary on your people.

>>87882628
From one astronomy fan to another, thanks for the lesson. :^)

I wish there was some animation to show all that.

Stay mad, little brother.

Did they ever explain why it's called Vaiana in most of Europe?

Sorry if it's already been mentioned, I don't give a dick about this movie.

>>87882928
It maybe because Disney didn't want the film to be associated with that Italian pornstar Moana Pozzi, but that only explains Italy and probably just a fraction of Europe.

>>87882962
It's called Vaiana in at least 18-20 countries, but in Italy it's called Oceania

>>87882628
>So, can we have your liver?

>>87882551

Polynesians have mixed with native Papuans, pinoys/malays/indos have mixed with negritos who are small. Only taiwanese abbos are pure austronesian.

>>87882661
>All that matters is how hard you force your particular brand of culture on others, so hop to.

This. If people want to stop being mad at misrepresentation/appropiation, they need to bother their governments/society until they care about cultural diplomacy.

Not to be that guy but why bother?

Also you don't want your country to be "represented" in a Disney movie because they'll do a half-ass job of it and adapt it to be entertaining rather than faithful. Which is fine but not representative for shit.
t. France

>>87882613
nwo shill pls go

Disney should represent EVERYONE in EVERY movie.

Fuck cultural uniqueness, fuck having traditions and things that sets us apart and makes us interesting as people.
What we need is a big, brown disgusting mess with no cultural coherency or anything to bind people together except misery.

Sweden: the Movie coming 2020.

>>87883108
Nobody in Beauty and the Beast or Sleeping Beauty was Parisian though. They might aswell not have been French, sure, but they weren't Parisians.

Also I doubt a guy called "Linguini" is actually French.

Last but not least half of Paris is people from the rest of the country that instantly become just as insufferable as soon as they move there.

>>87883108
>AND EVERYBODY FUCKING HATE PARISIAN.
And everybody fuckin hate french people.

>>87882901
Not OP, I agree with you but most people know about other places thanks to pop culture (Is that a flaw of society and not the movie? Yes) but non the less If your culture is misrepresented to the eyes of the rest of the world you have the right to be pissed off.

that was Augustus' successor, Tiberius. Nero was 3 emperors later. It went Augustus, Tiberius, Caligula, Claudius, Nero, then he fucked everything up for the Judo-Claudian Dynasty.

Pretty goddamn surprised this thread got any traction for such a specific gripe.

Now I'm wondering how Polynesian folks feel about the movie.

So the fuck what?
Imagine people who matter were this fussy.
Paris dominates the international representation of France and Bavaria is the first thing people go to with Germany.
Do you see people from Burgundy or the Rhine valley bitch and moan?
There are fucking limits of how closely you can be expected to be represented.
I'm sure there are villages still in Maine that Steven King never wrote a book about and they don't get to demand one, either.
You can set a movie in one place, really. You are not being discriminated against for it not being your tiny island.

Complaining that it takes up all the representation in thousands of instances.
OP complained that the one time someone cares for the Pacific islands it's not his island.

>>87883171
Disney's actually been pretty decent at representing different cultures with their movies since forever. or at the very least in a way that doesn't come across as overly pandering.

>>87885240
Indonesia should never have drifted away from the continent.

They were not allowed to portray a single goddamned thing that was not approved by a group of about 40 Hawaiian "native culture experts"

Those guys got pissed off at things like the main character having her hair down while wearing X dress for 2 minutes of screen time etc.

What about female empowerment? Were polynesians actually permissive of female action heroes?

>>87883516

I do. I think Paris is an overgrown tumor. Filled with assholes and literal garbage.
And the worst thing is I have to go through it everytime I take the train, since all french railways go there.

Hey, I actually feel better now.

>>87882928

Vaiana sounds like a brand of vaginal cream. Terrible.

>>87882551
My pet theory is successive genetic bottlenecks. Samoans have high frequency of a CrebRF variant that causes a 1 point BMI increase compared to wild type. This probably was selected for because of droughts and long voyages hopping from island to island. Theoretically if there were more islands, the further you got from Asia the fatter the natives would get until they reached an equilibrium point. But that's just my theory.

>>87882928
Some Disney Twitter account claimed that "Moana" is a registered trademark in EU and they can't use the name for that reason.

Let me know when they make a friggn movie about West Africa then I may care

I liked it because it did look dumb and it felt overused to the point of comedy.

Probably not the intention of the movie, but it made if funnier for me at least.

>>87882374
I find it funny that they had to change the movie's title in my country because Moana is the name of a very, very famous pornstar

>>87890856

Everything is topsy turvy, though.

Like, everything is the same except for one goddamn detail. The boats are exactly the same except their sails are triangular instead of trapezoidal. Their percussion is the same measure, shape, and musical sensibility except they're made of hollowed wood instead of hollow brass. They use the wrong constellations for hand navigation. The sprouting animal plant isn't the durian but the coconut. The dumb crab king that gets tricked in the underworld is a robber crab instead of a regular crab or a sea turtle, though I think that's a stylistic choice on Disney's part.

I'm going crazy with these switches and substitutions.
