I find this to be no different than *Chowder* or *The Normal Show*.. Both of these shows had some form of gender bending qualities to them. We can even look far as back as Bugs Bunny (how quickly we forget):
Gender bending has existed in childrens programming for as long as I can remember. I am going to assume that this Guy kid found a ring with super powers and like any other kid he is going to do what kids do. He is gonna keep it, don't matter if he is a girl or has to turn into one with the support and friendships of a bestie and a sister most kids will do just about ANYTHING.
I wonder (because I just can't remember) if people did this with Bugs, Tom..
The annoying TeleTubbies (one carried a purse) brought this form of reaction too, anyone remember Jerry Falwell assuming and imposing Tinky Winky as a "gay icon" because of the upside down triangle and purse?!?
My folks (who are fucking ridiculously Catholic and conservative) never had an issue with the cartoon, they do have issues with sexually over toned cartoons and will not let the kids watch them in the living room area if they go to Abuelita's house..
The ridiculous reactions of people like One Million Moms is no surprise, the hate agenda is strong and loud when it comes to spreading the hate and claiming the *gays* are trying to convert their children...
Binary thinking will always fear what is nor deemed *normal* they aren't going to allow their children to watch Cartoon Network, PBS, Disney anything that does not keep gender presentation to just
F and
M is going to scare them and because "merica feeds on fear, they are going to be chaotic and fearful.
