In one kid show "She-Ra" for example, every relationship is gay/lesbian save for one. I cannot prove harm in any meaningful way, but I think this sort of misrepresentation of reality is very confusing to kids.
- ryandrake 5y agoSmurfs were all (but one) male. I wouldn’t read too much into She-Ra. And “same sex couples exist” is not really a political statement. Now, when She-Ra starts having extended monologues about taxation policy or the virtues of direct democracy vs. representative government, I’ll support ya!
- robonerd 5y agoSmurfette was created by the evil wizard Gargamel to undermine Smurf society. (I'm not joking, that's canon.)
- xedrac 5y ago@ryandrake I believe the poster's comment about "political agenda" was really referring to more of a "social agenda".
- heimidal 5y agoShe-Ra is a show that takes place in a world where people _wield magical swords while riding around half-naked on giant armored tigers_. Yet your chief complaint is that a friend group having several non-heterosexual relationships is a "misrepresentation of reality"? Seriously?
- martinjacobd 5y agoGay/lesbian relationships are overrepresented relative to real life in She-Ra, but there is far more than one heterosexual relationship. Off the top of my head there is Bow and Glimmer, Queen Angela and King Micah, Mermista and Seahawk, and Entrapta and Hordak by the last episode.
