Just those things don't always need to be in all kid shows.
You can support those ideals and not want pandering in your show.
Crazy, I know.
I guess preparing children for the world that exists is "woke" or something.
It's not about checking diversity boxes, it's about handling your emotions.
And yes, we're all tired of "woke" shit, that's not the real world, but it tries to parade as it is.
A kid in a wheelchair. Another with mild autism. Another whose being raised by the grandparents because her mother is a drug addict. Another with pretty severe alopecia (this being her "best friend"). One of her other friends has been very sad because her aunt was killed in Israel.
This is all "real world". And it affects us despite it not happening to our family. At least not yet.
You don't have to directly have brokenness, sex, rape, drugs, and murder in kids shows even if those things exist in the real world.
Are you really trying to say that showing brown people and kids with a single parent is equivalent to showing rape and drug use?
Perhaps you should pause and reflect on your own morals if you think these are equivalent.
Second, my point was to show you that not everything in the real world needs to be depicted directly in kids shows. Not to make an equivalence of those listed things, but to test the consistency of the logic.
Learning morals you can learn how to handle those situations and ideals in the future without being introduced to inappropriate things too early in life.
Perhaps you shouldn't try to make an ad-hominem attack on my morals because you can't interpret it correctly. If you didn't understand, you could have asked for clarification.
That is to say, using same logic on "depicting brown people" and "depicting rape" is fundamentally flawed, it doesn't make sense to apply the same rules to "proximity to disabled people" and "murder" they aren't remotely in the same category. They are fundamentally different, and even if they were somehow similar enough to apply the same logic, they are not in any way similar in scope, its like claiming that showing a kid keeping a $100 bill they find on the street is somehow the same as showing a kid planning a multibillion dollar crypto heist... they involve different morals, different situations, and different consequences for every single person involved - that is they aren't the same.
Further, I never brought up someone being killed - that was a different person. You can tell because we have different usernames.
So the GP was happy with a show that was relevant to his family.
Yeah I think we're on the same page.
There's plenty of "woke" stuff to enjoy if you want to live life that way.
Was it pandering when My Little Pony had a lesbian couple?
For me it depends on how it's presented. The characters shouldn't announce what they like to fuck. That's jarring, pandering, and very inappropriate.
No idea how it was portrayed so I can't say.
Has that happened in a kids show you've seen?
They will find out that out on their own, without the help of kid shows.
I have no idea what the character's sexual preferences are and I don't want to know.
Curiously, how was it presented that they were lesbian, and who was lesbian? One of the ponies? lol.
Are you just getting angry about a hypothetical? Help me understand where you're coming from please
How was it presented in the show?
Why is it relevant in a kid's show?
Get your mind out of the gutter.
I just fail to see why you need to make a pony a lesbian in a kids show.
Why bring that up at all?
So that it reflects the real world, perhaps? Same reason shows have families with moms and dads in them.
Are the heterosexual couples going to tell the kids about the sex they're having?
Many kids shows I enjoyed never had any couples or parents in them, which avoids that altogether.
One could argue that cartoons of an era are descriptive of current culture, but to take them as prescriptive seems a terribly misguided idea.
