    Basically, the way people used to say "read another book" about HP was rude and dismissive to fans, so I won't say that to people whose preference is primarily for children's or all ages animation. But I will say "acknowledge other modes of media text/tone exist and are legit"

        Not as snappy, but since we're currently seeing some rather significant material consequences to not doing what the "read another book"people did a long time ago, I think it might be worth considering whether there will be long term problems with a queer media scape defined as is

        Because again, a little less than ten years ago I realized that Marceline and Princess Bubblegum were definitely a thing, and a few video games that were not aimed at kids also started throwing out queer representation around the same time, so I figured it was filtering up

        But then came Korra and SU and She-Ra and the video games kind of dried up. In movies we got Atomic Blonde and then very recently Birds of Prey. And now people are MAD because a video game has queer people and has a dark tone

        And like, I get why people would get turned off from dark tones in queer media if everything they consume is limited to the TV-PG rating or lower because that is bizarrely where it has become acceptable to represent people like us, and only there. Why would we be used to else?

        For me, I grew up not expecting any queer representation I didn't create myself, except the hostile kind, and barely any representation for women. So I consumed guy media for guys and wanted to someday see that get more diverse. I did not consume cartoons, I wanted Edginess

        And now we are at this point where, unpredictably, almost nonsensically, we've had a decade of queer representation provided at high quality and by queer people and sincere allies, almost only in children's media, and so that sets the norm. No one wants Lesbian Unforgiven.

        And so while I still have good friends who offer impassioned defenses of all ages animation for actually all ages and I respect that, I see a vastly higher number of objections based on "a bad thing happened, this is LGBTphobic"

        And the thing I hate most, the assertion that queer representation in dark, grim, often unpleasant genre media is everywhere. When in fact as far as I can tell it's limited to two titles from one video game series, and one Charlize Theron movie. That's not enough.
