Baymax Is A Kid's Show, So Of Course Its Representation Isn't Subtle (TheGamer)

The conservatives are mad about cartoons again. As someone who covers the medium here at TheGamer, this isn't the first time I've seen needless outrage ...

As a critic I have always advocated for children’s animation that treats young viewers with respect, and is willing to offer them characters and storylines that handle complex themes that many will resonate with whether they might realise it or not. Some start early, some start late, and some won’t have parents to explain what a period is and how to handle them when the time comes. It’s a sweet moment, filled with accurate terminology and an approach to the subject that is honest about what periods are and how young viewers will eventually need to know about them. Trans men have periods, that’s an important fact that not everyone is aware of, and it’s amazing to see Baymax highlight that in a direct way, but it does come off as a little goofy. Right-wing fools who disagree with their intention or believe they exist purely to muddy the minds of young people are wrong and foolish, hoping to stir up controversy where none exists despite the majority of media still made to appeal to straight white cis men. The scene itself is a small part of the show, and fairly innocent if a little clumsy in how it handles certain representation.

Disney's 'Baymax!' sparks conservative outrage over scene featuring ... (Chron)

Yet another Disney production has drawn the ire of conservative Americans for its depiction of personal hygiene and use of LGBTQ characters.

The outrage follows similar criticism aimed at Disney and Pixar for including a same-sex kiss in Lightyear, the Buzz Lightyear origin story that debuted in theaters earlier this month. Many also expressed support for the show's representation of LGBTQ characters and for openly discussing periods. Other critics of the scene included Texas state Rep. Bryan Slaton (R-Mineola), who recently announced plans to introduce legislation to ban children from attending drag shows, tweeting: "This is so sick and weird. "People are reading this and telling me I'm a bad parent because my 15 [year-old] boy isn't comfortable discussing a woman's cycle like it'd be a badge of honor for me if he did," one parent tweeted. Some said the clip would make still make their children feel "uncomfortable" even if it was only discussing women's cycles and didn't include the transgender character.

A scene from their new show Baymax appears to depict a trans man buying tampons.
