The Problem With Moana Costumes - Don't Dress Your Kid Up As Moana

It's about damn time we went back to something more traditional like Pocahontas!

Well, if you "culturally appropriate" like this, you may "trigger" a child via a "micro aggression", and cause them to need a "safe space" for as long as it takes to repair their "feelings".

And there are people who think like this.

Why are we so willing to do this shit to our kids?

Last Halloween, Disney recalled their Moana movie costumes after libtard upcry.

I say good! Whites parents shouldn't be showing non-white peoples any respect. As usual, libtards carry the KKK line.

This person is insane. Lol. Imagine, being so obsessed with racial issues that you would mull over your child's choice for a Halloween costume. These people tend to be able to suck the fun out of everything. Poor kid is going to grow up all fucked up.

"The original article, written by Sachi Feris, discusses how her white daughter was torn between dressing as Elsa, from Frozen, or the titular character from Moana. Feris expresses concern that while an Elsa costume might reinforce notions of white privilege, dressing up as Moana is essentially cultural appropriation — the act of reducing someone's culture to stereotypes, and thereby belittling it. Though Feris puzzles over how one might wear a Moana costume respectfully, she ultimately decides it just isn't a good idea.

At this point, you might be saying something like: "But, I dressed up as Jasmine as a child, and I'm not a racist!", or, "It's just a Halloween costume, please chill the f*ck out." But one of the best things about time is that it moves forward. You should too. You can (and should) strive to be better than you were 10, 20, or 30 years ago. If you missed the mark when you were younger, maybe think about using this Halloween as an opportunity to teach your kids about the importance of cultural sensitivity. If your child's dream costume feels questionable, don't just throw up your hands and hand over your credit card. You're the parent here, and the onus of what your child wears falls on you. If your kid wears a racist costume … you're kind of wearing it too."

Because they are neurotic and insane.

The world is going to be so screwed up 25 years from now. Going to make the dark ages look like the renaissance.

I don't know about others, but I am much chagrined by this turn of events.

It appears my costume choices this year are limited to a leprechaun or an alcoholic.

Why would you dress your kid up as an old white female Senator from Massachusetts that claimed she was Indian?

Wait! That was Faux Cahontas.

Nevermind!

I guess only Martian kids (green) can go as Shrek!

Y'know, in all seriousness, I think "neurotic" may be an appropriate term.
