The Moana Problem, first coined by Matthew Walsh circa 2024, is a theory that suggests that there is really no cure to Racism, especially with children.
Basically the theory goes: you have two white children who both watch Disney movies. One white child gravitates towards white princess. Picks out white princess dolls, watch Disney movies with white princess, etc. Which is bad. Then, on the other hand you have the other white child, whose favorite princess is Moana. However, that child wants to be Moana for Halloween, which proposes Cultural Appropriation, if she were to wear the Pacific-Islander Attire. So “no matter which way you go… you end up back in Racism”.

One day the problem child won't be here anymore, and that will be the end of what was always a temporary problem (at least the end of one temporary problem), since there's no such thing as a permanent person anyway. No matter the person, their lifespan is temporary.

When the father that a woman had was physically present but emotionally not available. Similar context to "daddy issues" where the father is physically absent, etc.
She didn't exactly have 'daddy issues', it was more like father problems.
If you simp for Dabi, you have daddy issues, but if you simp for Nanami, then you have father problems.
