While I agree that kids programs doesn't have to reflect 100% of reality (else there would be no magic kingdoms for the heroes to save) the rest of your statement is absurd: "Same-sex affection" is a part of our world*), and what you're calling "exposing" or even "grooming" I'd just call "showing children that it's okay to be 'different' from the majority" (and not only by being bad a baseball or having a different color of skin or being a woman or not being a princess or popular or... I guess you get the idea).
*) Not only "the liberal west" or whatever one wants to call it; it's just that in some places you have to fear for your life for being who you are, while others are pretty cool with accepting people being different than them.
- decremental 5y agoI wholeheartedly disagree that 6 year olds need to be thinking about that stuff. Hell, 6 year olds can't even process something like their sexuality. It's not as though anyone is saying "we need to get these straight kids on board with this straight stuff". Let kids be kids. They'll figure it out later and there's no shortage of such material for them then.
