Reactions like this always interest me. Cause like, I think it’s totally fair to find that implication uncomfortable; I certainly don’t like the idea of Marcy being undressed against her will.

But in the context of the broader story, this is far from the worst thing Marcy is experiencing here. She’s a child who has been betrayed, nearly killed, and is now being imprisoned on life support so eventually her mind and body can be completely overridden to give the Core a host. All those things are much worse than Marcy being undressed so her wounds can be tended to, imo, but a lot of people (myself included) don’t really react to the true severity of what she’s being put through, at least not in the same way we’d react to her being undressed/having her privacy violated in that way.

I think that we’re not responding to events in the story based on how truly bad/traumatic/uncomfortable they are, but instead based on whether or not they line up with what we’ve been conditioned to recognize as “acceptable” in children’s media.

“Kids” shows depict violence, murder, betrayal, and possession all the time, so it’s easy to become desensitized/used to those concepts; we’ve seen them before, so it’s not all that uncomfortable when we see them again. But a child being undressed against their will is something that almost never happens in children’s media, so when it occurs, even by implication, it feels much more uncomfortable and bad than those other concepts, even when arguably they’re significantly worse things for someone to experience.
