You write as though I’ve written off the show as anti-feminist (I didn’t say this) or as racist (I didn’t say that either), as opposed to simply denoting the way story choices echo longstanding criticisms of the show. It is disingenuous to dismiss identity-based criticism as a claim that art loses any and all value…

As always, I am hesitant to reply to comments with the knowledge that the Kinja system elevates Staff contributions and thus the comments themselves, but I want to address this since I’ve seen it pop up a couple of times in my notifications.

It wouldn’t be a problem if there were literally any other non-white characters on the show

This is a very bad take

We also are not given anything identifying us as working for amazon and people often think we are stealing packages or snooping around properties... am worried about having the cops called on me or having someone threaten me.

Or the myriad other things that also affect the lives of babies and children they claim to care so much about, like parental leave, subsidized childcare, high-quality pre-K, and equitable access to a good education. I could go on forever.

Or about care for babies after they leave the womb and are in the real world with parents that cant afford food, housing ect.
