We grew up watching @cartoonnetwork, in particular shows like Gundam Wing and Sailor Moon.
Do you remember the ugly hacksaw job Sailor Moon got in order to air on US television back in the day? It was ROUGH.

Lesbian characters were changed to be cousins, which was its own level of weird. The gender of one character was straight up changed because we couldn't have two guys in a relationship in a cartoon. Think of the children!

But tonight, on that same network,
@rebeccasugar gave us a wedding between Ruby and Sapphire, and it was amazing. All three of my kids giggled with excitement as each wedding outfit was revealed. We adored the song together. We gasped at the twist together. It was fun!Show this thread -
It's cool to see how much has changed. Taking a little longer than I think most would prefer, but it gave us pause to stop and appreciate the progress and representation this evening. Thanks for the cool show
@rebeccasugar, and thanks@cartoonnetwork for giving it a home.Show this thread
