I have genuine concern for the people who are “confused” about the Bao short that showed before Incredibles 2, like do I need to change the ethnicity of the protagonist to yours and make the Bao a stereotypical food of your culture?

I think it’s more the issue of taking fictional actions literally instead of figuratively. Some people think that the lady ate her son. They don’t get it’s a metaphor for empty nesters and how they might view relationships with their children.

My family didn’t get stuck on the bao part, they got stuck on taking fiction at face value.

My issue is that no one had any issues when the Cloud from Partly Cloudy started crying, or when all the cars from the Cars franchise started talking and having human emotions. Pixar has animated numerous inanimate objects and yet there has never been so much “confusion” about those shorts/movies.
