I actually get CTW's annoyance with this - Reagen Jun 1, 08:02 9
- It’s about representation, not sex. -- nm - znufrii Jun 1, 08:17 5
  - When they've done representation, they've created characters to do that, instead of retconning what they have. -- nm - Reagen Jun 1, 08:21 4
    - I’m not criticizing their approach, but I don’t find your reasoning here to be particularly helpful either. -- (edited) - znufrii Jun 1, 08:27 3
      - It trivializes a serious issue. Fooling the LGBTQ community into thinking they're being represented while Internet dweebs like you and me chuckle at -- (edited) - con_carne Jun 1, 08:37
      - I think the whole "ooh two male character who spend time together, they must be gay" thing to be just as toxic - Reagen Jun 1, 08:36 1
        
        Depends greatly on where in the fandom it’s coming from, I guess. -- nm - znufrii Jun 1, 08:43
- So is having a hetero married couple also unnecessarily sexualizing a relationship? -- (link) - mara Jun 1, 08:12 2
  - Actual people, and they've been a couple since the beginning. -- nm - Reagen Jun 1, 08:20 1
    - Either theirs is a sexual relationship or it isn't. If it is, we seem to be saying hetero is normal and gay is too sexual. And I'm not sure being human makes that much difference on a show for preschoolers. -- nm* - mara Jun 1, 08:36
? what am I missing -- nm* - mud Jun 1, 08:01 3
- oh, ok. (d'oh) but why can't they be - mud Jun 1, 08:07
- if serious question - spoiler - Diva Jun 1, 08:04
- Bert & Ernie. -- nm - Reagen Jun 1, 08:03
Wow. -- nm - mara Jun 1, 08:01
Lol -- nm - znufrii Jun 1, 07:59
