  • I watched it with my child niece. The first two seasons are legitimately great for a children’s show with a surprisingly deep narrative.

    But then season 3 or 4 the production team changed and it went from being deep like Adventure Time to just being generic “good enough” kid’s show.

    Legitimately kind of a sad thing, actually

    edit: typo









  • This whole “all the homophobes are closeted gay men|all the racists secretly fetishize black men” thing is reductive, unrealistic, and unproductive. This dude is gross as fuck and I’m glad he’s getting charged with something at least, but chocking these things up to underlying latent sexual urges is weird and doesn’t solve anything. I’m going to pivot to homosexuality as it think it’s a clearer example now: yes there have been a number of bigots who have turned out to be closeted gays in denial, but concluding from that that all bigots are closeted muddies the water and prevents us from tackling the real root causes of bigotry and, frankly, makes “our side” (for lack of a better term) seem unnecessary sexually-obsessed.
