That's besides the point. they checked all the agenda boxes with this not only the gay shyt but the swirl shyt too.
There's hardly any Black children's programming on and this is what they go with?
I was too young to see the show but I remember the Greg Nice Lyric about Rickety Rocket being his favorite cartoon.
The shyt was about an all Black teenage detective agency where the villians where white.
You'd be a fool if you think they would put something like that on air again.
I mean, at least you have tv shows with characters that look like you.
there are zero shows geared towards latin households.
honestly, besides handy manny, dora, and speedy Gonzalez I can’t think of shyt. (Those are mostly shytty depictions)
we have no latin superheroes. There are very few latin role models that aren’t athletes and musicians.
i’m not implying that representation in cartoons makes up for hundreds of years of mistreatment towards black people. In a perfect world there would be a cartoon (or really multiple cartoons) like the ones you posted for all ethnic backgrounds, so that no kid feels left out.
additionally, i hear all the time about blacks wanting representation in media. Its absolutely warranted. But like, don’t you want that for all black people? Or do you just want it for black people who look like and act like you? Thats not me trying to be a dikk, its a real question. Like, excluding people leaves people behind.
Not saying that black people aren’t deserving of better representation in the media (they are). But I don’t think that one gay couple in a cartoon is a slight to black people ( i know theres more than one instance of this on tv, but i say one since we’re talking about this specific cartoon). Like Schitts Creek and Modern Family have gay white characters and no one gives a fukk. But you guys want to draw lines amongst each other internally and wonder why theres no little unification on certain topics(im simplifying it).
Lastly, the swirl complaints is silly. Because if it were two gay black men people would complain about that too.
I’m not here to preach and pretend like I have the answers because I don’t. Puerto Rican’s have their own house to get in order and i’m well aware of that.
