Perhaps I missed something in the movie, what was pushed on anyone? I vaguely remember a scene with a character and her partner was revealed to be a woman but I don't remember any agenda or propaganda about it. What exactly was being pushed? Or was it the backstory about how the writers and animators wanted to include a same-sex element for years before?

A focus on sexual situations. Does one same sex kiss constitute that? No I wouldn’t say it does on its own but when it is a pattern from these organizations then parents are well within their rights to reject it. That companies are pushing these narratives is not secret and it is ok that these companies believe it to be more profitable to make these types of movies. It’s also ok for me to refuse to take my children to see them just like it’s ok that I do not allow them to watch YouTube or any other non curated video source. None of this is me trying to limit the rights of anyone except for my children of course. It’s not me calling for anything to be banned or to force my views on other parents. I’m simply saying I have had enough of these companies trying to push this culture war bullshit on my children and I do not care who in the world I anger by doing that. To do anything less would be a disservice to what I consider most sacred.

  It’s gotten to the point where I was worried the Mario movie might have sex/gender propaganda in it. Luckily it was just a kids movie. There are few “just kids movies” these days. Puss in boots was the last one previously.

Very curious how you've managed to avoid the pattern of movies that "focus on sexual situations" until recently. One of the most prominent tropes in children's media is a princess who needs to kiss or be kissed by a prince in order to resolve the plot!

    Let me just put it this way. You can’t congratulate yourself for changing the world yet at the same time claim something has always been this way.

      People congratulate themselves about all sorts of things. My question is why you — an adult who is a discerning media consumer — have come to believe that sexual themes in children’s media are a recent phenomenon.
