And the problem is?

I really don't see an issue with normalizing accepting a child for 𝐰𝐑𝐨 𝐭𝐑𝐞𝐲 𝐚𝐫𝐞.

There is a high degree of overlap between the people who call themselves Christian, and professional victims. They will never run out of things they find offensive, and rather than avoiding them they will demand the rest of the world change to accommodate them.

You are 100% correct. These fools that are 'offended' by a character that isn't defined as straight, white, and Christian are [just plain] wrong about everything. And it's not because of their religion, it's because they're brainwashed bigots and they alter their beliefs to conform to their groomed RWNJ ideology.

Maybe they should read the WHOLE Bible and find that it is purposely designed to create confusion in their brains, not to build character and empathy. With nearly 1400 direct contradictions, how could it do anything else. That's why they need their churches and their preachers to "guide" them and make sure they only use the few parts that conform to their bigotry.

β€œNickelodeon has now decided to be politically correct instead of providing family-friendly programming.”

What is not family-friendly about the episode? Specifically. Are they doing drugs? Having sex? Walking around naked with genitalia flapping around? Are they murdering people in cold blood and ar14s? (Wait, that’s family friendly to these assholes because AR14s are just props for Christmas cards and normal risk of attending elementary school)

Oh she said making non-binary people normal. Making normal people normal is just terrible.

Kevin Sorbo cried that when his book was called anti-transgender for its anti-transgender theme and Bible verses he said something about only not having a LGBT character making it anti-transgender. But here we have a kids show that doesn’t mention anything, it has a color scheme of LGBT people, and suddenly it is anti-Christian. There’s no mention of Christianity, positive or negative, just a theme of kindness and empathy. Therefore, to her and those like her, Christianity is against kindness and empathy. This is why she’s having difficulties breaking the 5,000 followers mark.

Monica:

Saying you are prohibited from something because of your religion is perfectly fine. I would even encourage that behavior. Saying I am prohibited because of your religion is where we have a problem. That's what your bitching and moaning boils down to. Your religion says it's wrong, so you want to make it wrong for everyone, even those who do not share your beliefs.

Show me how letting people of all ages openly exist as who they are directly affects you, without any callbacks to your sacred fables. You can't. So grow the fuck up and keep your nose out of other people's lives.

That cartoon is outrageous and should be removed forthwith. The astronomical phenomenon referred to as a "shooting star" i.e. a meteor, is obviously, because of its longevity, a comet. Children should not be exposed to such scientific inaccuracy and only allowed correct stories about four-legged insects and bird-bats and human parthenogenesis and the flat Earth and .....

The problem with One Goth Mom with a Xitter feed is that she has a diagnosis that I have thought should be added to to DSM, for years: 'Judgmental Personality Disorder'. She is incapable of accepting anything beyond her personal worldview, she despises anyone who doesn't meet her circumscribed definition of 'correct behavior', she is unable to even look at new information, she believes she is always right and everyone who disagrees with her is always wrong, and she wants to impose her 'right opinion' on the whole world. She would expunge from the human race all of us who are different... in essence, the perfect theofascist. And she gets her nasty personality disorder reinforced by frequent large paychecks from here hate-group employer.

No need. Non-binary children ARE normal, as are all other kids (and adults) on the gender/sexuality spectrum. (Or should I say spectrA?)

I posted recently that I've never felt comfortable "being a man" in the stereotypical way. and that if the label "non-binary" had been current and available when I was a kid, I'd have adopted it in a heartbeat. And the more I think about it, the more sense the non-binary label makes to me. "Guy stuff"--sports, cars, tools, etc.--has always left me stunningly uninterested. Likewise "girl stuff." I am my own being, with my own set of tastes and interests, and they don't conform to gender expectations except in a purely tangential way. That is perfectly normal--FOR ME--and if Monica Cole and her confederates aren't happy about it, they are more than free to kiss my non-binary ass.

At 75 I'm still making discoveries about myself. Whether that's weird, wonderful or some combination, I don't know. But it's happening, whether I or conservative christians like it or not. Personally, I think I'll go with "like it." The realization has brought me a new feeling of freedom. something religion never did.

Yes, how horrible to for a parent to say "that's okay, it's normal" when their kid says "dad, I don't feel like a boy or a girl." We can't be telling kids they are normal now, can we?

One Million Mom and her supporters should boycott PAW Patrol by going and buying a bunch of its merchandise and filming themselves destroying it, for the children. That’ll show β€˜em!

At this point, One Million Mom targeting your product is like free advertising and a sales boost.

Monica never learns. She's just giving PAW Patrol and its spin-off free publicity. People might not have even been aware of the latter's existence until she made a stink.

Christians continue to be their own worst enemies.

Oh for the love of.....[redacted]

Anyone who goes desperately looking for an agenda in children's television type programming has entirely too much time on their hands. Monica Cole and her 4206 enablers need to find a hobby that contributes something useful to the world like knitting or crochet. This pretending the sky is falling every time some media outlet creates something they don't like is really starting to smell.

But remember, kids, the 1MM support of boycotts and letter writing campaigns isn't cancel culture! It's only cancel culture when some dirty rotten heathen LGBTQ+ person does it. /s

Protip: if you are willing to demonize a fictitious pre-teen for being themselves in a way that harms literally no-one else...

...you might be the bad guy. Maybe.

If you think LGBT have equality but still think they shouldn’t have announced this character’s gender, you need to take a moment and think about what it means to be equal or accepted in a society. The mere presence of an LGBT character shouldn't be news and shouldn’t have a reaction like this.
