i think people who argue about which childrens cartoon has the “best” lgbt representation based solely on whether or not they like the cartoon are the ones that represent our community badly, like, youre embarrassing us lmao

#no critical thought whatsoever its just like ''this shows my personal favorite so its better and the one you like sucks waaa'' basically lol #im not saying its not an important discussion to be had but this is literally just ppl acting like 5 year olds on a playground #and overlooking the important context of the censorship and production but ppl have already said that. bc its obvious if ur not dumb #thats not how representation works. its not how media criticism works. its stupid #and i love animation a lot as a medium i truely do but please for the love of god #stop treating shows meant for kids like theyre the end all be all of media #trust me i get that rep like this can be extra important for kids to see but i dont think its a coincidence that ppl who like #only see things in these super unnuanced ways are the ones that only consume media for children w rly black and white morals #bc its meant to be simple bc its for kids. like challenge your brain a little please #this is what happens when you dont develop analytical critical thinking skills at all -_-
