Thing is I remember being a kid and thinking "wow, this is really fucking gay." everytime some idealogue started preaching their shit within a cartoon or a movie or whatever. Some people would say that entertainment is malleable but I think there is a threshold to what can be forced. Kids like to have fun, this is the opposite - like that anti-drug cartoon special with Peewee Herman trying to dissuade you from doing crack, but instead this time trying to convince you that it's okay to cut your weiner off or trying to muddy the waters to impose some horriscope of a gender onto you, or make you feel that you're a monster because you happen to be white. I think that sense of "this is fucking stupid" will always persist, because these people pathologically cannot keep their mouths shut ever and they are blind to how people see them. They are that out of touch with reality, and cannot, will not, ever stop posturing. Ever.
I think it'll likely steer many kids away from these mediums for how stupid, alien, and generally atonal to fun they are and possibly stir the opposite. It's already a delusional, contrived political clusterfuck as is.
Look at all these downvotes! Reddit must be making its rounds today.
