I’m just positive the sims team wanted to subliminally reference Moana. Why? Polynesian culture isn’t a extremely known culture, and referencing Moana is being a sense of familiarity to the pack. I’m in no way disrespecting it at all.
How can you say "polynesian culture isn't an extremely known culture" respectfully ? Easy, you simply don't say it at all.
Especially since you're so wrong.
Unless you're really 6 years old and Disney is your entire universe.
I don't think that's quite what they meant. Some people on the forums have trouble expressing themselves well through writing, or English isn't their first language and it helps to give them the benefit of the doubt and look for the overall intent of communication.
I think what they're trying to say is that it hasn't been "trendy" or previously sought after by the general population to learn about as a culture. It's not something that you frequently hear people talk about in depth and the details and history aren't common knowledge. But when Disney made the Moana film, it kind of shined a little light on Polynesian culture and drew some attention. Some of the devs are Disney fans, so in addition to cultural representation, they added in a little Disney-inspired flair that would be recognised and appreciated by fans of the movie. Remember also that Sims 4's marketed audience is teen girls. It's completely feasible.
Yes! Exactly. I’m not good with putting my thoughts into words, but it’s not very publicized from what I’ve seen. Except as a vacation getaway. So yeah idk.
