Of course people can be excited for #RayaAndTheLastDragon, but I don& #39;t want everyone to pat Disney on the back for going as generic as possible in their Southeast Asia rep so they can cover the broadest audience. They& #39;re never going to improve without the pressure of criticism.
Also like...you know there& #39;s never going to be a Disney princess from a specific Southeast Asian culture after this because she& #39;ll be "competing" in the merchandise market with Raya. So this is...it. This is it for the entire region, because they decided to make it so broad.

With East Asia, at least there& #39;s still hope for a Korean or Japanese princess because Mulan was specifically Chinese, but Raya is IT. They made her rep the entirety of Southeast Asia!!
