Now they are going to shift it over to Hulu to get viewership numbers up on it.

Also signaling. Lots and lots of signaling.

The main character has two mothers in Strange. Encanto has subtle acceptance of same sex couples. Woke energies all around.

46

Acknowledging that gay people exist is now “woke”?

Man… that is quite a worldview.

47

In a childrens cartoon? What’s the purpose there, Jezcoe? Please enlighten me.

America Chavez is already an established character in the Marvel comics. She has two mothers.

People don’t care. They don’t give a crap.

There are plenty of problems with the latest Dr Strange movie. Showing about a of minute screentime of America Chavez’s two mothers is not one of them.

Err maybe because children who watch cartoons have family members including parents who are gay.

America Chavez’s parents were such a small part of the film I had to google to remind myself that they were.

In Disney fashion… the Parents exist to die and give the main character a challenge.

Maybe that is a more of a problematic trope than the gayness.

I remember when I stated this was the ultimate aim of bills like the Florida bill, and was told in no uncertain terms this wasn’t true…:roll_eyes:

Hmmmm… people are upset that Disney does say gay.

Interesting.

So what’s the purpose of exposing a child to same sex couples in a cartoon, Jezcoe? I ask again because I notice you dodged the question.

So you are confirming the ultimate goal of culture war laws is to refrain from even acknowledging to kids that LGBTQ exist?

Thanks for the confirmation.

Because gay people exist in the world and most people don’t give a ■■■■■

Exposing children to the concept of same sex couples harms them exactly as much as exposing them to opposite sex couples.

56

To children. You conveniently left that part out.

57

Thanks for turning into a pretzel with that amazing twist on my words. Try harder. Be better.

58

What is the difference between acknowledging same sex couples as opposed to opposite sex couples?

59

So now not even letting kids know LGBTQ exist is acceptable…is this it?

Please let us know what else won’t be acceptable to allow children to know exist.

And who should it be left up to to expose them to such things?
