An anonymous source has shared this with me, and I– I have seen hot takes before but man this one’s so fucking hot it’s still steaming fresh off the griddle. I tried doing some Googlefu to find sources to back these claims, but nothing ever came up that said Mufasa was a Bantu god, one result even suggested that Mufasa was an allegory for the christian god, but every resource that Google pulled up said Mufasa had its roots in Swahili. 

Is Australet that desperate for attention at this point with her misinformation or is she really just that braindead gullible into believing what everyone tells her?

My anonymous tipper has found the reddit forum that Australet claims is her source 

https://www.reddit.com/r/lionking/comments/zlwpwq/manazoto_is_a_fake_language_where_does_it_come/ 

Even it doesn’t source itself. I’m not sure where people began to think that Mufasa is Manazoto. That’s incorrect(And this is the first time I have heard of it). If they had any braincells to do some googling or looked up the people that worked on the film, they’d learn that Disney used Swahili to name the majority of the cast.

  2. spongebobenthusiast said: Curious as to why you removed my comment just asking why didn’t you go to australet to settle this matter privately, and calling someone braindead for no reason
  3. spongebobenthusiast said: So instead of contacting australet privately, you chose to make a whole post calling them brain dead for,, changing a madeup name into something they thought was accurate?

  5. hatosaur said: MUKASA (with a K) is what they’re referring to, not mufasa. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mu…(mythology) also, surface level google searches (which bring up baby name sites with 0 sources) absolutely do not cut it when it comes to an actual language. if you were to actually visit a swahili-english dictionary, you’d find that “mufasa” does not, in fact, have a single meaning in the language. names like MALIKI and MFALME mean “king,” but mufasa is not a word at all.
