They made gender-subversive characters evil as a way to enforce norms, not as a way to challenge norms. They did that so that no child watching the movie would want to grow up to subvert the norms, because the portrayal of the people who did was so awful.

I think you are being unrealistic. Every kids movie is politicized, no matter what they contain, because kids are impressionable and they absorb what they view as what they should expect when they grow up. Studios are not going to stop making films about boys are girls falling in loves for kids. We may let kids know

This!! I am so sick of straight people complaining, when it isn't their fucking place. The ones who say characters in kids movies don't need to have sexuality. I never saw them complaining about Ariel falling in love with Eric or any of the other countless romances in kids films, yet the idea of a gay romance comes

Having a character have a girlfriend is not "sex politics". It's showing children the world as it is. It's a reality that many people grow up to love the same sex, and there's no age where it's inappropriate it show that to kids.

Most surveys these days of young people have up to 20 percent identifying as not straight.

What evidence do you have that the reproductive urge is the strongest instinct we have after breathing? I think the urge for companionship and for loving someone by touching them is one of the strongest urges. But babies? Nah. That's just the side product.

I'm gay and female and it IS tiring. I know it would never happen but I'd be thrilled if they made Elsa gay. I don't see how the text makes her asexual at all. She's too busy struggling with her powers to date someone. There's nothing in the story to indicate that she wouldn't want a partner.

Although I did appreciate the "even the ugly one" line, I am not here for AHS trying to humanize evil again like they did with Tate. I DON'T GIVE A SHIT HOW MUCH YOU LOVED YOUR SPAWN. Do. Not. Want.

Nonsensically caving seemed to be a theme in this episode:
