Perhaps not, but SU does present more progressive views on gender and queerness than most other kids' shows, which makes it easier for adults to want the rest of the show to be similarly nuanced. You don't expect much from something that gives you nothing, but when something gives you a little, you might expect it to give you more.

I don't agree with people who assert that any critique of progressive media is letting the side down, a betrayal of some higher ideal - but I also don't think it's fair or reasonable to demand that any creator who puts in any real effort to include positive representation in their work must therefore be all things to all people, or else they're some sort of turncoat.
