My same friends are pretty much doing the exact thing. Hates Frozen to death even though she hasn't even seen a single minute of it.
She was also mad because the main character in BH6 didn't look "Asian enough" for her, and the other Asian character apparently has purple stripes in her hair or something, which she thought was an offensive stereotype.
To put in context, she's Chinese herself, so I understand her need for representation, but a lot of the Disney bashing I see from her, and just in general, seems really nitpicky. Like, maybe you should at least see the actual movie first before making any quick judgements...?

Other Asian characters with a purple color stripe in their hair:
1. Mako Mori
2. The main chick from Kill la Kill
3. ... ?

So two examples makes a stereotype? One of which is from an anime made - shock! by actual Asian people?!

I assumed it was a based on some actual recent Japanese fad if anything.

Yes, it's tumblr, but...

So it is a weirdly common trope that's popped up for some reason.

Ah.

And I bet they're going to want it both ways, so when a white person gets a streak in their hair, they'll call it cultural appropriation.

I saw a really good response to that, which I can't find now but it showed a bunch of real life examples of dyed hair as a trend in Asian countries.
