Well uh, considering I've had people link me Jezebel articles loosely about you better not buy Moana costumes for your kids you white pieces of trash I'd say there's probably a bit of it out there than you've noticed...

I checked the "Moana" tag on Jezebel, but nothing like that came up. I couldn't find anything like that under "costumes" or "the Disney store," either. I found this on The Mary Sue, but honestly, I'm not sure what you would expect me to disagree with: http://www.themarysue.com/disney-racist-maui-costume/

At this point it might have been retroactively deleted (wouldn't be the first time for Jezebel to take down an opinion piece if it didn't get the kind of reception they were hoping).

I swear it existed though. It was literally someone telling people they couldn't buy Moana costumes for their kids if they were white because that was cultural appropriation.

I do remember seeing something circulating on Tumblr about 'don't buy Moana merch because appropriation' and thinking 'yes, genius, don't buy any merchandise for the movie starring a POC because that will definitely show Disney that it's worth it to make more non-white protagonists.'
