This is 100% why youth suicides are increasing.

Like I love the context and the artistic vision to represent gender dysphoria. But I feel like this would do much better as it's own plot in a young adult animation series rather than something VERY CLEARLY marketed towards like 15 under. Tbh I don't care much for the political struggle behind gender and identity, but it should not be something children overtly see or are forced to observe as they are impressionable. These concepts are better tackled once they mature into young adults, they have a fuller sense of self and are better able to understand abstract concepts and disengage with something ideologically. It's a well recorded fact in child development that 15+ is when they begin to engage with abstract thought and rationalization.

[@dyslexicLLM]

All kids feel uncomfortable about their growing body at some point, so I really object to suggesting at a young age that this could be the reason. It's fine if it is, but they should figure it out themselves and with loved ones, not be guided there by corporations.

Wow they actually listened to parents and didn’t bend the knee to the modern audience bs? 1:18 No kid goes thru this btw. Not without being coached by an outside source. Like a parent wanting to ingratiate themselves with the lgbt. Or weird teachers who put the idea in their heads as they’re going thru the confusing process of puberty. I don’t say “gr00m” because that implies more unsavory things. And while that may occur I don’t believe it’s every case. I use “coach” because it’s more like getting a kid to say/do something. Like in a divorce case, one parent might coach their child to say bad things about the other to get full custody.

[@DefianceOrDeath]

The identity crisis is manufactured though. The only reason these kids are having an identity crisis is because a bunch of adults are trying to sexualize them and pushing this transgender nonsense on them. They're telling them the reason they feel weird going through puberty is because they need to mutilate themselves, and not because it's just a natural thing everyone experiences growing up.

[@BlueTiberium5198]

They can fire anyone involved, and most people and parents don't want this kinda stuff. Making parents the enemy was the worst decision they could have made because guess what.? They have control(mostly) of what they want their kids to watch. Shocker.

Ngl the rough animation was really good even tho I don't really like any of this BS in kids show I gotta hand it to the animators they got good vission for animation.

[@EnderGhost119]

The sad thing is that the animation is actually a great short video about someone who is clearly not mentally sound, but you can't tell them that or advocate for any kind of mental health treatment because 'affirming them' is the only PC solution these days. Its kinda messed up in its own way.

[@nobody8717]

except the part where the guy gets reaffirmed that it's all okay, instead of taken to a therapist to fix himself, sure. or did you not pay attention to the whole thing?

[@EnderGhost119]

@nobody8717 I mean telling a schizo they are actually friends with little green men instead of finding some way to treat them is messed up in the same way. Yet the "best" we can do is tell these people they actually are born in the wrong body, and then they have to live through this nightmare. Even the animation managed to capture it, the well meaning friend dragged them into the women's bathroom and that "affirmation" did not help them at all.

The visuals are great at telling the scene without the need of words, its creative and weird while fitting in. I know the final version would have dialog, but the fact the visuals can tell the story without them is a great artistic approach that so many companies have forgotten. Sucks such a thing was for a scene like this in a kids show, would of been great somewhere else.

[@bomber9912]

Agreed. The art direction was phenomenal. I hope its not lost but used in a more mature movie. Have you watched "I saw the TV glow"? It uses the nostalgia of our generations for shows like "Goosebumps" and "Are you afraid of the dark" to show the reality of being Trans. Its an underrated movie and i highly recommend it.

[@digital-underworld]

I like the idea of the animation itself, but Disney doesn't have the edge necessary to air this animation. Disney cares first and foremost about profit and did their entire DEI push thinking it would be profitable. Whether or not it is profitable Disney currently is not making back much of the money it spent into most of those movies and shows and is backpedaling.

[@paullavoie5542]

[@augustday9483]

I hear people say this a lot, that "Company only cares about money, they'll do whatever if they think it'll be profitable". That's true in theory, but it ignores the deeper truth that companies are composed of individual people, who each have their own ideas and biases. And when companies get taken over by activists in leadership/decision-making positions, those activists only care about advancing their ideology regardless of the corporate consequences. That's why we see these companies put out bewildering garbage that obviously flops or harms the company, yet they double/triple down. It's because the activists don't care, and they are so ingrained into the leadership structure that it's very challenging to remove them once they're embedded.

It's Pablo Picasso Cubism not the face falling apart. It went deeper then he realized. I'll admit I don't like it, but I'll admit it's genius. Of all the things trans related this one is actually good, I would give this a pass on account of good execution, it has actual story telling. The kid thing is a lil creepy though, but that would probably happen which makes it better story telling.

[@АклызМелкенды]

What does cubism have to do with trans?

[@Dezarc]

it feels like they've made any sort of feeling of not fitting in your current mortal prison mean you've got to start taking hormones, despite body dysphoria being a fairly common thing for any human to experience without it becoming a disorder - there are elements of trans related narratives that can resonate with non-trans people, and there are non-trans elements that can be interpreted as directly allegorical (even if they're not)

[@dragonwaz]

I completely see the kid thing though. Men can get that same fear all the time. Society sees men as criminals around children. If a child is lost and alone as a man you almost have to find a woman to help the child with you or risk being seen as trying to kidnap them. A trans person gets so much rhetoric and hate spewed at them over just wanting to go to the bathroom that I can 100% see a trans child panicking over a younger child needing help in the bathroom and just having their social conscious screaming at them that if anyone sees them and doesn't think they're a girl that helping the child will take an entirely different context than what it is.
