Happy to see society is catching up. Unfortunately the reactionaries will reactionary. Idk if it's worth arguing with them, they'll never change.
Luckily most reactionaries are boomers, and they'll mostly be dead in 20 years or so. Once that happens the country will prove massively.

I just think its dumb because the channels air very little, if any content that backs up these words.

The closest animation on air with potential trans themes would be Stephen Universe, and like the other poster said, its almost never actually aired. And thats just themes. AFAIK there are no trans characters in any currently airing shows. (I could be wrong though idk) >_>

Lest i get accused of concern trolling, though, I really dont care at the end of the day. I dont watch these channels anymore, but thats just because I dont watch TV. And it doesnt seem any more dumb or hollow than any other attempt to reach out to their audiences, it just sticks out more given the shit show this particular subject always turns into. <_<
Steven Universe Future does have a blatant non-binary character. Dont know if that counts for something

Offensive to who?

To people who feel like projecting.

People would say that he literally demonizes whomever they feel that a character with a feminine attire and a high-pitched voice is meant to represent.

is SUF another show, or do you mean the shows timeline?

Either way, yeah, sure, progress is progress. Ill always be skeptical of any corporation doing this we stand with ______ stuff, but having actual representation always takes the edge off my cynicism <_<

You can tell that the transphobes haven't actually talked to transgender people who knew what was up way before they ever came out.

Its probably really hard to do explicitly transgender characters in a cartoon without it calling attention to itself as part of the story of the show, arc, or episode. But Steven and She-Ra pulled off non-binary characters swimmingly, so maybe its just a lack of imagination on my part, and others, and the answer is actually something very simple.

The first time I saw Him on The Power Puff Girls, I recognized 'Him' as being inspired by the chief of the Blue Meanies based on his speech and some of his behavioral patterns. The Blue Meanie chief had way better fashion sense, though. His ears were a hat, his trouser legs and fabulous boots didn't match, he wore a little burglar's mask. and there was that tiny mustache. Also he was really fluffy.

Character itself never really bothered me but that episode where the PPG accidentally traveled 50 years into the future & Him took control of Townsville in their absence freaked me the fuck out as a kid.

I see Him being more of a drag queen than trans, honestly.

That episode was amazing. Hands down my favorite episode when I was a kid.

Yeah he's not trans.

Neither is that silver surfer, which was just meant to be a gay stereotype played very straight. Gay =/= trans

Idk if you'd count it as it def wasn't marketed to children, but the Rocko movie had a prominent plot revolving around a trans character, and imo did it tastefully.

I do admit though, they need to have a little more representation because it's still very few shows that feature an LGBTQ character. Hopefully we will see that soon

I think it's a nice gesture at least. It's not like Pringles are selling trans pride editions of their chip flavours like the glut of pride packaging that happens every year for Mardi Gras, and trans people are still targeted pretty heavily by people who consider themselves to be in the LGBT community (fuck terfs btw) - and considering the high suicide rate of transgender people who aren't supported on top of all that, I can't really find anything wrong with this.

Saying something supportive on a date that's significant to the transgender community, as corporate and cynical as you can paint it, is at least a nice gesture.

For what it's worth, Nickelodeon has some minor character in the loud house who is a trans woman and she's actually voiced by a woman. They've also had a trans man actor in at least one show for a number of years and never have mentioned he's trans or anything. So they actually do have stuff to back up their trans day of visibility post.

Wrong. Plenty of people of millennial that feel the same as boomers. I'm just waiting for this clash to grow.

Honestly as much as I think Him is such a badass character, he would be considered an offensive stereotype nowadays.

Honestly it's surprising he was even allowed then. He was clearly a Satan archetype and in the 90's it was the Christian soccer moms calling everything offensive.
