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.

    I’ve never heard of this, but my guess is some people shared the headline and people reacted to that without clicking on the link, and even if they did click on the link, they didn’t tab into the about page or read the “please subscribe” bit at the end, which are the only places it says it’s satire if you’re going in from a link. Other than that, it just reads like a sarcastic conservative-leaning writer talking about real plans.

    Of course that’d never happen over here, right? You’d never react to a headline without reading the article, right guys? And even if you did, you’d at least tab into the about page to check if it’s satire, right? Right? . . . guys?
