- axaxs 6y agoOh right. I liked how 'Up' was really about pedo rights the whole time. Married man never has fun or takes his wife anywhere because he's depressed. She dies, he meets a special boy, and they see the world together. Really beautiful story.
- jachee 6y agoThe difference is that you're not the creator of Up. This isn't an arbitrary ex post facto ret-con. This is someone finally feeling comfortable enough with who they were to tell the actual meaning behind their creation. Jaded, insensitive curmudgeory doesn't make you a better person, you know. If you're lucky enough to know who you are, and to be able to express that identity without fear of harm, oppression or ostracism, then you could at least have the common courtesy to respect someone who—until recently—couldn't do so.
