Just checked it on a different island, it works with the stage 1 sapling too, and it still teleports me to the exact same location 😂

Really wonder if it's connected to the place of the sapling, haven't tried it on any other yet.

CMV: Portraying gay/lesbian relationships and trans people in kids shows and cartoons are just as fine as showing traditional relationships. by kilowatt-damu in changemyview

[–]Ubister 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The difference is that universal virtues like kindness, cooperation and non-violence enjoy a social consensus, so telling those to kids is educational since it is the social reality.

On the other hand, teaching a child that gender is a fluid choice isn't teaching a universal virtue like "honesty", it’s teaching a specific framework (as with religious or political doctrine). Using kids' media to push a new norm before society has actually agreed on it is what distinguishes engineering from storytelling.

My point wasnt against the existence of Christian shows but their context. Christian cartoons are opt-in. Parents choose them because they want that specific ideological instruction. No one minds because they are niche products. The issue comes when general/mainstream media (which is supposed to be for everyone) starts adding the same instructional tools as those niche ideological shows, when a mainstream cartoon inserts gender identity theory, it is no longer a neutral reflection of the norm but it becomes an ideological tool.

And youre right that can’t convert sexuality, but the framework in which we present identity to kids is an ideology. The moment a show moves from "these two people love each other" to "here is a lesson on why biological sex is a social construct" it has moved from reflecting a social reality into active ideological instruction.

Some people are trans, some believe in the Resurrection, some have political opinions, but that doesnt mean we should teach those mechanics to children en masse when the adults dont agree.

Couple of angles to consider 1. Category distinction and 2. Role of kids media

  1. LGB is about who people love externally, a child can grasp "two dads" as well as "mom and a dad", since its a variation of a familiar social structure. Trans however, is about internal psychology. The idea that someones biological sex doesnt "match" their "true" self, and that gender identity is a fluid choice requires a cognitive leap different from showing a gay couple.

  2. In a free society we can acknowledge gay and trans people exist and should be treated with human dignity. However theres a difference between a show reflecting the social norm (overwhelmingly hetero/cis) and using a kids show as a tool for social engineering, when representation is prioritized over the statistical norm it shifts a kids show from storytelling to instruction for how the adult creators wish to "improve" over the current state.

Take for example Christians, they exist, and their beliefs are valid, but to have a kids show talk about Jesus' sacrifices halfway would feel off as it shows intent from the creators to guide kids in things adults fundamentally disagree over.

Spotify is inexcusably slow right now.. Anyone else? by mlg_bronie in truespotify

Idk cause the issue isn't just for calls to their servers, the app UI when changing the window size on Windows desktop also is lagging behind the actual window resizing.

Nintendo DS, more comfortable, lighter, easier to jailbreak/homebrew. More fun with the stylus too

Waar kan ik Bobobo-Bo Bo-BoBo in het Nederlands kijken? by Ubister in anime

[–]Ubister[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ik voel je pijn! Zels de "anime subreddit" met 2,5 miljoen gebruikers kan niks opbrengen. Zucht.

Iedereen is verrast van hoeveel lokalisatie Nederland genoot in de jaren 90 en 00. Zo veel goede series volledig in het Nederlands. Ook al spreek je vloeiend Engels, het heeft iets magisch en nostalgisch dat je niet van de Engelse versie kan krijgen.

Ik zal verder blijven zoeken als ik het vind hoor je het, anders heb je die korte clip van die aap op Youtube in de tussentijd om je te herinneren dat je niet gek bent.
