So if the character was in shape people would say they're discriminating against "fat" people

People just find anything to complain about

If you threw every member of the Rock's family into a bowl and mixed them up thats what you'd get.
The Uso's, Rikishi, Yokozuna, the Headshrinkers, Superfly Snuka...


Just be glad Disney is showing melanated people instead of more generic cac princesses.

ANd another thing, Dwayne Johnson is half black, and has been on the cover of Ebony, and played a black character on GI Joe, so I think we know which side he identifies with more

When was the last time the Rock played someone who had a black family member in his movies?

That I don't doubt, but it's unfortunate how much traction alot of these weak arguments get for something as simple as drawing a "Fat" character when the focus on any sect or culture of people. Had the character been retarded or had stereotypical actions perceived of said culture, I'd understand, but I'm pretty sure whomever this character is fits into the same heroic archetype as damn near all Disney characters. But it's 2016 and Bathrooms now have rules'n'shyt past not making eye contact with other patrons and urinating in the sinks. I guess this shyt warrants this sort of 'outrage'.

Yeah that might've been the last one, and that was 12 years ago but even then he had a black dad, a white mom, and started a dating a white girl at the end

but he was depicted with a black relative and does what most black men do, date a white woman at least once in their life

His frame reminds me of Hulk a little minus the chocolate tabs. And Hulk isn't fat right ?

I bet the characters design was his own idea

These social justice a$$holes seem to just wake up offended in the morning then look for a reason to complain


..that character look like them dudes who powerlift and throw logs...theyre all built like that whether theyre white black asian whatever

 

[Ribbs]

Excuse me for being ignorant but every Pacific Islander I've seen always had a strong build, not fat but strong like a bodybuilder. Being big as a demigod is more believable.
