This is such a strawman. Adult fans of SU don't say it taught them anything. They point out the obvious messages in each episode and how well (or not) they're presented for the target audience. If it's praise, it's "This is such an important lesson for kids and it's great that the show demonstrated it."

The closest any of them come to saying it "taught" them anything is to say they were failed because nobody did teach them this basic lesson as a child and it was nice to see a children's show remind them that it's valid for it to resonate with them. An example would be the episode about Sadie's mom being overbearing and pressuring her to do extracurricular activities she wasn't comfortable with. A lot of people grew up being told that their parents are always doing what's best for them and to feel like they're letting their parents down if they ever say "no." Which, actually, is a still a rather new concept to explore on kids' TV.

Just because you haven't encountered it it's not a strawman. I certainly have.

And it's really not that new and revolutionary as you try to make it out. Nothing about SU is.

NAYRT I would argue that the LGTB representation and other psychological themes dealt with is very atypical for a kids' show but YMMV. (I'm not a fan, just casually used to watch it with my little brother.)

It's a neat little show that teaches kids about inclusion and that it's okay to feel bad sometimes and can also be enjoyed by adults if they want to. Just skip it if you are not, jeez.

They just did the best explanation of CPTSD that I've seen in mass media. Usually how that's done is, "I saw something nasty in the woodshed, FEEL MY PAIN."

AYRT That sound very interesting! IMO it's also very valuable to talk about these topics with children or younger teens.
