Yes, Turning Red embraces the awkwardness of a teenage girl experiencing the onset of puberty, something unexpected in a Pixar feature (though welcome, for its seemingly honest portrayal). Meilin’s mother, for example, stands outside her daughter’s high school class in one sequence and screams because she believes her daughter has forgotten to bring pads with her. No doubt, female audiences watching will cringe and chuckle along.
Turning Red, with a literal translation, can stand for the color one changes into once embarrassed.
I think it's a triple entendre here, with red also symbolizing menstruation.
havent seen it but from what I read thats the main premise of the movie
a girl hits puberty and turns into a giant panda which gives her super powers letting her do things that her previous self couldn't do
which sounds like a "fun goofy concept" until you actually think about it and realize that the panda really represents her sexual attractiveness
and (again I haven't watched it, this is only what I read) at some point the girl makes money by selling pictures of the panda on the internet, her mom tries to stop her and the girl responds "my panda my choice" which is a gag line for brainwashed liberals. But again when you realize the subtext of cheering on a newly teen girl allowing herself to be exploited for "independence" is becomes disgusting.
Dude exactly!!! I saw it and I’m like “fine, the panda thing is a metaphor for her period…. But what. The. Fuck. Is her using the panda to make everyone like her, pay her, and invite her to parties a metaphor for!?!?”

Surely this isn't in a Pixar movie, right? At least it's not portrayed as a good thing? It's not like Pixar hasn't done propaganda before (WALL-E was a great movie, but it didn't even try to hide it's anti-corporate, environmentalist message), but if they're essentially portraying a 13 year old on OnlyFans as being a good thing then their office needs some redecorating.
Seriously? I saw the trailer mention the "dark side" of the transformation; I thought it was simply going to deal with how to deal with the "royal bitchiness" aspect of menstruation ...

It's basically an ad for OnlyThots, assuming that plot line is accurate and complete.
