A satire site invented a sequel to Moana where the titular Disney character transitions to become a boy and conservatives did not get the joke.

Look at them! Look at these rubes! These buffoons! These incompetents! Do you see how many LIKES their posts have? Tens of thousands of lemmings, rushing towards the edge of a transphobic cliff! They’re so psyched at the idea of hating trans inclusiveness in mass media that they don’t give the first shit about whether or not they’re treating blatant, labeled satire as fact.

By the way, I haven’t seen a single other outlet reporting on fake trans Moana using the word “Broana,” and I’m really fucking disappointed. In all of you. For shame.
