This post is for anyone who has ever said that sexuality/romance “doesn’t belong in a children’s cartoon”. I want you to look long and hard at this collection of images. They are all actual screencaps of cartoons aimed at children. Now that you have processed these images, I want you to realise one thing: these are all expressions of sexuality and romance. And you’re quite content for your children to take in these images and ideas. Here’s a little spoiler for you: these kisses are more sexual than two people simply maybe having feelings for each other. Yet, if they happen to be two girls or two boys, they’re automatically more dirty and inappropriate than highly intimate open-mouthed kisses.
Protip: before you complain that children are too young for sexuality, remember that sexuality is everywhere in children’s entertainment. Then do us all a favour and shut the fuck up.
