You can try to demand the network takedown shows that allow this.
You can try to ban your children from watching those shows.
You can even try to take the TV away and demand your children read a book.
But here’s what you can’t take away.
You’ve told your kids their entire life that this is wrong, perverted, and disgusting. The worst part being that your kid is even like the characters above.
But for a brief moment, they were told the opposite was true.
They were told that there is nothing wrong with who they are or who they like.
They were told that this one thing about them doesn’t change who they are.
They were told that in this dumpster fire of a planet, that they are not alone.
And at that moment, they are happy and at peace.
And you can’t take that away.
Again, you can try, and for a while, it might seem like you succeeded.
But your child will always come back to that moment.
Hell, your child might even make stories of their own, featuring characters that can give the same feeling they felt all those years ago.
And kids who will see those characters will continue to make more themselves.
To make others feel like they are heard in a way they never did before seeing some goofy cartoon aimed at children.
