@th3FatRat Then people from those cultures should lead the storytelling, musical & visual departments of these movies- not just be casted as actors and consultants. Anyway you can book a stay at Disney's Polynesian Resort that now includes Moana as recognizable IP for your family to enjoy

Please watch the Hawaiian historical drama Chief of War instead.

First teaser for the live-action ‘MOANA’ remake. In theaters on July 10, 2026.
English
@breaththrou Yes, I'm aware that internalized racism is a factor in all communities. I'm mostly discussing the phenomena where people point out "why are all x characters in American media by diaspora brown, while all x characters in sourceland media are lightskin" It's a generalization.
English
@philinidae Yeah but it's also how that lack of exposure affects perception. Many sourceland indos are exposed to brown indos, but refuse to depict brown indos in their work.
English
@JesnCin I think it's also exposure.
Diaspora artists encounter far more people of a different race, be it White, Black, or Brown.
Personally speaking, as a sourceland artist, the majority of my characters are White, Asian, or SWANA, because I only encounter other races very rarely irl.
English
@breaththrou Oh yeah definitely. I want to make it clear that I am speaking very generally.
English
@JesnCin let's be clear for a moment: (non-black) diaspora populations of color are still very much both colorist and anti-black. like another commentor said, exposure is a factor. alot of people learn things about new cultures and different people through firsthand interaction.

@th3FatRat This is exactly what Disney is counting on. White productions that hire diverse talent as a shield from criticism. You *feel* like you're showing up for and supporting its stars, but you're also feeding into the machine that turns their cultures into a commodity.

@yiffinhell1 @JesnCin @genetic_monster Ok, but they are the leads in the film. They’re on all the posters and everything. And i promise you that The Rock is making more money on this film than the director and writer are.

Bringing this back cuz of all the live action Moana news

Don't Call Me Superboy. 🧵 for the updates so far!
(1/?)

Don't Call Me Superboy. An ongoing webcomic that remixes Kon El's origin story. What will become of this lab-made Superman clone?

@allowableman2 This is too broad a question. So I can only answer back in an equally broad fashion. You do it by writing.
English
A lot of the structural issues with superfam could be resolved if they committed to the immigrant allegory and made each legacy character representative of generational diaspora. Then parallel this with their unique intersectional place on Earth.
Aidan🇵🇷@Mr_Periwinkl3
what takes about Superman will have you like this?
English
@Zazeronofshadow They're both techincally 1st gen, but I enjoy the contrast of teenage Kara and baby Kal. One retaining more cognizant memories of their source culture, while the other having vaguer idas of a home out of his reach. Transracial adoption and assimilation hits them differently.
English
@JesnCin @Mr_Periwinkl3 My ideal
Both Clark and Kara represent first generation with Clark being 6/8 when krypton exploded
But Clark assimilated due to his adopted parents
