#representation in cartoons

[whalesfall]

btw. your search for the most morally upright and ethical piece of media that has the most correct “representation” will destroy your ability to find the most profound and beautiful and human of stories. and may even destroy the stories themselves before they are created. if you even care.

#the search for the Ideal Representation is both unattainable and soul-crushing. childrens cartoons moral codes are not #the best way to judge a piece of media #and the stories created by the very people in the communities that are most silenced are always the first ones to be #targeted for their Problematic Factors #as if any story can properly encapsulate the breadth of every complex human experience in one go #something isn't inherently deserving of being reduced to Irredeemable Media status just because you cannot personally relate to it #on the other hand approaching every single story as if its only value is its Shipping Status and how you can #incorporate it into your identity (and stake your Moral Uprightness based on how Ethically you consume said media) #is not necessarily any better. but different post is needed. #aughhhh bite bite chomp kill

Don't think this is a controversial take, but...:

I wish there was wlw stuff in a similar vein to OFMD, Good Omens, Heartstopper and Red white and royal blue. Like yes, Ik that in most there's a wlw couple, and yes I know that Good Omens is technically not mlm. But like...whenever there's a wlw show it gets cancelled, it's gritty/violent, or it has a tragic ending. I want to see more wlw stuff that is light hearted or just written as a romcom. I hope the fact that these lgbtq shows exists means that there will be a change, and that wlw media will (in the near future) be treated the same way as mlm. I genuinely believe that the popularity of these shows is a giant step forward, along with the fact that these shows even exist to begin with.

(Yes, I know that Ineffable Husbands isn't mlm, but they are (mostly) male presenting, which means that the ship generally read as such. Yes, there's wlw pairings, but they're mostly side pairings. Yes, I know that bottoms exists and that makes me so fucking happy. Also, I'm grateful for the cartoons with a wlw main pairing, I just want that in live action as well. Representation is matters, and wlw representation /should/ exist in live action as well. If anyone got any wlw centered shows/movies (that didn't get cancelled), please recommend them, I'm s t a r v i ng.)

#happy that the queerbaiting has ended now we just need more proper representation #im hopeful for the future and the changes that will come #the first queer media i consumed was all wlw but (with one exception) it has all been cartoon/comics #need some live action wlw #ofmd #lgbtq #lgbtq+ #lgbtqia #wlw #good omens #heartstopper #red white and royal blue #also im so grateful and happy about the representation the lgbtq community has gotten lately #like...that's so awesome #if my past self got to know that this would happen i know that I'd be crying #no im not wlw but i relate more to wlw pairings than mlm pairings

We absolutely need more Black voice actors. Tons more. I’d love to see it become a rise in popular professions among Black People �� esp Black Women. More Black Women voice acting for cartoon characters, anime characters, Disney characters, etc.

the ghoul wraith alliance

I think this is the first time I seen a kids show to have one their main characters said queer and is so amazing

I love how this show does representations and diversity so much

there are lots of things I don't really like of big mouth but the fact that we finally got an asexual representation that masturbates and doesn't see it as something sexual is amazing

a lot of asexual people masturbate and we mostly don't like talking about it because we know allo people will interpret it in a different way than we do, they think that if you masturbate then you must be attracted to someone but it isn't like that at all. stimulation and attraction are two different things, we can think of literally nothing and it's just about the stimulation

it's amazing that we get to have ace representation this way because it doesn't feel like it's completely directed to allo people and it shows

How is tumblr not obsessed with dead end paranormal park on netflix???

It's a super fun and creepy cartoon (think gravity falls vibes), with great plots and animation.

The characters are very diverse, and it's being discussed openly. What was the last cartoon that actually talked about binders? Or the struggles of coming out in an Asian family? About intense anxiety?

Everything is addressed very sensitively and given the respect it deserves, and it's balanced out with great humor and action.

This show is all about the found family and rebelling against oppression and (literal) demons and ghosts. It's a perfect watch for spooky season so please yall watch it so we get a 3rd season😭
