It hurts my heart that merely existing in public as a queer person is considered gross perversion, even pedophilia.
AngryGraphicDesigner
Republicans have gone full fascist. This feels so much like when Iran was taken over by religious rule.
TheOnlyPtylerdactyl
I'd like an explanation as to why these senators consider this material featuring cartoon children to be sexual.
c2zvgsVillain
Triggered by cartoons but not by guns ,is there something a little off by their diversionary concern
TheAnimalFactsGuy
Oh man, wait until they hear about The Owl House. Gay people, witchcraft, & demons? The Christian lawmakers are gonna have a conniption fit.
FoxFoxingtonTheThird
No problem with Ren and Stimpy or Cow and Chicken?
aPinchofMensch
I don't think shows that haven't been aired in a decade+ are really being factored in here
FallingStar7669
Oh, there was hate for Ren and Stimpy. A LOT of hate. Nickelodeon fired John K because of it. Hell, Ren and Stimpy was originally on MTV.
snaggeltooth1916
so 7 out of 10 odd on all these guys getting caught jacking it to rule 34

Those are two funny examples when Big Mouth is right there on Netflix.

You know, actually dealing with some important issues would be a change for once.
rmmmm
We’ll soon discover that they all eat dicks by the dozen every now and then.. such POS
NationofSchrad
You know what more important than sexualizing cartoons? INFLATION! INFRASTRUCTURE! CLIMATE CHANGE!
NationofSchrad
Holy balls, these guys will do anything but their jobs.
Bonchoman
I thought they liked hyper sexualized 12 year olds
NiceGreenArrows
Only STRAIGHT ones.
blainetog
Ok and sometimes gay ones, but ONLY behind closed doors!
FallingStar7669
Ideas like that are best kept in churches.
floofnmeeps
But if the characters messed around with underage girls it'd be ok
NiceGreenArrows
oh, no no. Only if it's STRAIGHT.
Qualtagh
Some of the characters DO mess around with underage girls! Maybe. She-ra isn't clear on character ages. Oh and the ones messing around --
Qualtagh
-- with them are also underage girls. Oh and by "messing around" I mean at one point they KISS :O
Evenmorehorrifying
Two girls kiss in She-ra! Once! Disgusting, clearly unsuitable for children. /s
khety1890
and a character with two dads!
mikeymikec
Trigger warning: This will likely annoy religious fundamentalists who can only tolerate what their millennia-old self-help book tells them.
weaponizedwombat
As a middle aged white man, I'm perfectly OK if everyone else just shoots all of us. I'm so tired of sharing a demographic with these shits
TonnerreCadien
AManisNotACamel
They’ve all got that look of having many skeletons on the closet. Sketchy AS FUCK. every one of them!
Applewhite5
A Republican Senator got caught browsing Loud House pedophile incest porn and tried to play it off as "research" and now he's in too deep.
Gofuturself
BoltActionGearbox
The hypocrisy is how they identify their own
LoudBirb
Not quite right. The followup image should be the one where he hits both buttons, 'cause Republicans don't care if they're being hypocrites.
Override9636
Gotta splice that in with the "This sign can't stop me because I can't read" meme.
friendsofsandwiches
wasn't this the same shit that was pulled 40 years ago? Except it was for music?
blainetog
No, this time it's raw homophobia.
Noughmad
This shit has been pulled always. "But what if a child sees a woman's bare ankle???"
FallingStar7669
Jazz, rock & roll, comic books, rock again, D&D, video games... sprinkle in blacks, jews, gays, hippies...
Starfox5
She-Ra hypersexualised? They have a chaste kiss, that's all. None of the costumes are "sexualised". But what they have are LBGT characters.
Kittynomnoms
It's not actually about sexualization. It's just because these shows are inclusive to groups that aren't cis white hetero men.
Kittynomnoms
Bonus: She-ra features powerful women that AREN'T hyper-sexualized. Conservatives fucking hate that.
Starfox5
Oh, yes. And the incels complained loudly about the "unsexy" designs when the new She-Ra was announced a few years ago.
Kittynomnoms
It's a complaint I've heard with every show and game that features a female protagonist. Guess they should all just wear micro-bikinis.
Like2Fox
The only solution is to gouge your eyes out
Kittynomnoms
It's not actually about sexualization. It's just an easy rallying cry for the "Won't somebody think of the children!?" crowd of morons.
thebloody
Old white Republican men seem to think about kids and sex WAY too much...
Elroydb
Yes conservatives are pedophiles https://www.dailykos.com/stories/2018/10/23/1806673/-Republican-Sexual-Predators-Abusers-and-Enablers-Pt-1
StuckInBetweeen
They need to die out already. One of the downsides of longer life spans.
earthwormulljim
Doesn’t matter, they breed faster and in larger numbers. That’s why they want to overturn Roe- need to boost the ignorant voter pool too.
Gryphonosiris
Betcha they also think about sex with kids too.

zeroisnothing
It's always the thin lipped boomers.
PieAndPunch
Hopefully they'll be dead soon. Pinning my hopes on the fact that millennials and gen Z will be the largest voting bloc in a few elections
blainetog
Oh damn you're right.

None of those cunts are boomers. :P

NiceGreenArrows
So when someone is gay its "hyper sexualized", but not when they're straight. Interesting.
Hexrowe
"Straight" isn't a sexuality, it's just NORMAL! /s
SecretAgentSuperBooger
Imalwaysready
Voojagig
Let me guess the only problem they have with The Loud House is that one character that happens to have two dads.
TheAnswerWasAlwaysMoreLube
This however..
Gosuamakenatek
To the right, being gay is inherently sexual, whereas being straight isn't, cause they think of anything non-straight as dirty and sinful.
Rogahar
If someone's first thought when hearing about gays is of those gays having gay sex, that someone might not be as straight as they think.
JanieKarmaSmith
There is nothing more fragile in the world then the ego of white, conservative men.
TheDayTheBrainStoodStill
Guess what their problem with She-Ra is! ?
Imalwaysready
And a black character at that. And the two dads are interracial. And one of them looks suspiciously borderline ginger...
q2grapple
*gasp*
Bossco20
There's a little boy who is in his underwear on numerous occasions. Republicans apparently find that too sexy.
Zugswang
Everything they know about the shows probably comes from the rule 34 shit they secretly jack off to.
NotWhatYouExpect
"secretly"
Zugswang
OK, fine, excluding the cocaine-fueled sex orgies.
TooRexyForMyShirt
Don't forget about Luna! She's bi, and therefore her girlfriend is a lesbian! That's like, uh, 3/818 characters on the show!
LanceCorporalBadger
GrouchyMarx
This one time I was banged a dude & our balls touched. Asked him why didn't he say "No homo" back at me and he said he's gay. I was shocked.
GrouchyMarx
And once I had to do an intervention for a guy because I suspected he was gay. I was right. He confessed. 8 year relationship down the drain
sseh2661
that must of been hard on your adopted children
MagicalHamFlaps
NO! i mean and she-ra has a girl-girl couple as i recall
Chryos
She-ra has 2 lesbian couples, a gay couple, and an enby character.
jasari
3 if you count scorfuma..perpia..perfupia?
Chryos
Perfuma may be bi but her only confirmed interest was Bow. The other two lesbian pairs were explicit. Perfuma and Scorpia may legit just be
Chryos
pals, of the gal variety. Scorpia is a confirmed lesbian, but she doesn't have a stable relationship during the series.
MagicalHamFlaps
i did not know this but it completely explains why GOP would oppose it
MrNardtastic
Enby?
Chryos
Nonbinary (NB phonetically)
insolentwerp
NB would be less characters....why enby
MrNardtastic
Thx
brickius
Original 80s She-Ra had big tits and a short-slirt - modern She-Ra does not, so the fact they complain now can only be about gay characters
ButtblasterMcAssmaster
gordy77
Last Season SheRa is all about the shorts
OnyxTurret
The right cannot separate love from sex. That a show can represent lgbt+ affection, they have to reduce it to "sexualization"
Reidsb
Correct. They don't think a gay couple can actually have an emotional connection so they just default to 'it must be about sex'.
Reidsb
Which probably tells us a lot about how they treat their wives.
LordNergal
She-Ra and Catra were so cute together in the new She-Ra. I don't understand how that can draw hate.
Gosuamakenatek
The right constantly flips between screeching that cartoon women aren't fuckable enough anymore, and cartoons are too "sexualized" (aka gay)
houpbajoup
They are saying whatever they have to, to justify doing whatever they want to.
SuperfluousMeh
Yea, weren't they just screaming about the Green M&M?
TheWombatStrikesAgain
So apparently the standard is "harmless sexy is when I want to fuck it".
TheBulletKnight
Fucking weebs...
wherethehorriblethingsare
They only want to see things they view as fuckable. Given how much effort they're putting into privatizing schools, well... hide yo kids.
MoonMoon89
For comparison, her is the "normal" one:
SpeedBeetle
Also, they are supposed to be twins.
MoonMoon89
And here is the "hyper-sexualized" one:
SithElephant
If I know one thing about elf-like beings genders, I know what they're worried about.
Kittynomnoms
...wat?
SithElephant
Kittynomnoms
Adora is pretty much just a regular human, though.
Superchief86
Yeah she was way, way younger in the reboot. Underage I think. No wonder they think she's hyper-sexualised.
Outforalark
Adora is 17 in the netflux adaption. That's a perfectly normal age to be dating and to even share a kiss. None of her clothing is sexualized
ExplodingPortaPotty
That sword is pretty sexy not gonna lie.
CooCooCaChew
It's the bloomers. Old she-ra had a sword too but just the short skirt, which we all know is not sexy and standard female attire. /S
tygerpsimatrix
It got better in the last season. Same for the outfit.
FallingStar7669
In one she's comforting a man. In the other she's standing on her own. Gosh, it's almost like conservatives hate confident women...
tygerpsimatrix
Her brother... her massively-muscled brother.
AmurTiger
I don't think it's the standing alone that they're crying about. Not that this is at all a bad thing. https://imgur.com/NPtViVj.jpg

Aren't they like cousins?

they are siblings
