Re: problematic stuff you still love

[morieris]

I'm going to use a slightly...off example.

For those of you familiar with Avatar, you know about everything with the Northern Water Tribe and how the women couldn't learn combat bending and how Katara challenged the master who upheld those rules.

I once saw a post on tumblr about how it was so problematic, that POC didn't challenge their elders like that, that Katara acted totally white and it was wrong.

You're smart people, you can smell the BS from here. In the context of the show, there was a war to be fought, and rules had to be broken. But the outside implications of racial-coded actions just reeked of reaching.

Another: I don't have the fond memories that most do of a childhood with Disney. I don't remember watching any of the princess movies and being /so/ attached to them that I refuse to hear a word against these films. So when I see someone point out an issue (and just because they point it out doesn't mean they're right, but they usually are), and some person who was raised by VHS loses their shit and goes "Please don't ruin this for me, it's a harmless film!!!", "Well, it didn't affect ME negatively!", "It's a kid's movie!", because, guess what, nothing is, was, or will be made in a vacuum. There will be implications, clear or coded, and they may or may not affect child A, but child B may feel differently. And even though something may have iffy moments, that doesn't mean you can't like it. I LOVE The Little Mermaid and only saw it last year, and I definitely can see why some people are cold on it.
