PSA that I need so other people might too

You’re not any less of an adult for like cartoons!

You can watch as many Disney movies as you want!

If you think 6teen is better than Friends you’re probably right!

If you think Avatar is better than most TV shows aimed at adults you’re definitely right!

If you’d rather watch the DCAU or LEGO versions rather than any live action superhero movies I’m right there with you!

You don’t have to have a nostalgic connection to a show you can like one that came out last month!

Watching Voltron or Tangled isn’t bad!

You’re right: there are mature themes that people of any age can enjoy!

Liking Big Hero 6 the series doesn’t make you a loser!

Thinking We Bear Bears is the cutest thing in the world does not make you immature!

Cosplaying Steven Universe isn’t a bad thing!

Loving the Amazing World of Gumball isn’t wrong!

A show doesn’t have sex or swearing or violence to be enjoyable

IF YOURE EGYPTIAN AND LGBTQ+ GET OFF ANY QUEER DATING SITES, THE POLICE ARE TRACKING AND HUNTING PEOPLE DOWN AGAIN. DELETE YOUR ACCOUNTS.

Reading about abusive men and the way they think. Very unsettling and an incredible book so far. Here are my very professional notes.

Can we please stop the White Feminist™ idea that naked = empowered?

Because I had to watch the Muslim girl in my history class lucture the class on Islam’s treatment of women and why she wears her hijab to feel closer to god, because some new girl in our class tried to coerce her into taking it off, and then proceeded to try to take it off her.

I made sure she was alright after class and she told me she’s used to it. I. Got. Pissed. Because this sweet girl is used to other people trying to rip her hijab off. I’m not Muslim, but from what I understand, that’s like being used to people trying to rip your shirt off of you.

Also, this idea doesn’t just threaten and offend Muslim women and girls. Because a lot of women and afab people don’t like being naked. It’s not empowering to them, it’s demeaning. For example, I don’t like being naked, because I just don’t feel comfortable with it. But still, my family still forces me to wear bikinis to the beach and thinks I’m self conscious just because I don’t want to wear the least amount of clothes possible.

So, in summary:

Destroy the White Feminist™ idea that Naked = Empowered

Destroy the White Feminist™ idea that Naked = Empowered

Destroy the White Feminist™ idea that Naked = Empowered

Destroy the White Feminist™ idea that Naked = Empowered

Destroy the White Feminist™ idea that Naked = Empowered

Destroy the White Feminist™ idea that Naked = Empowered

i can’t believe maes hughes died in the battle

Something I like about Stretch Armstrong & the Flex Fighters is that it features semi-realistic depictions of unhealthy, or at least worrying, family situations for teenage boys and how that impacts emotions/behavior.

For example, Mr. Armstrong aggressively pushes Jake to overachieve, all while being physically & emotionally unavailable to his son and ignoring their mutual pain over the loss of Mrs. Armstrong. Jake RECOGNIZES this as incorrect, but is unable to confront his dad. 

Ricardo’s parents are nearly always working, often breaking promises to spend time with their child. Again, Ricardo knows this is wrong, but seems unable to address or alter the dynamic. Moreover, this lack of permanence & attention has taken a SERIOUS toll on Ricardo’s self image & social skills. 

Both Jake & Ricardo have clean, well maintained living conditions. They go to school, are physically fit and eat well. Their parents are gainfully employed and wish the best for their children… yet it is evident that something is WRONG in these households and it is hurting these kids.

So, you have 2 heroic teenage-boy characters in a BOY’S ACTION SHOW who are written to experience and express sadness & anxiety over their parent’s lack of positive input in their lives. They are allowed to be upset that they are being emotionally neglected. 

Neglect/abuse is not presented as something that happens in “bad” homes, and it doesn’t create “bad” kids. Jake & Ricardo are our heroes! Nevertheless, it is happens and has an impact.
