this isnt a matter of mythology. this is a matter of culture. its like how Chinese were extremely offended at Mulan because there was no such thing as matchmaking in Chinese history. Matchmaking is more of the west, which means that counts as whitewashing.

What Disney is doing with Moana is merging Polynesian cultures together as if they're one singular thing. It's like merging every Asian culture together into one movie and call it Asian culture, when in fact there are thousands of different Asian cultures.

Disney can change characters, but they should NOT change culture.
