It's such a great time for cartoons. There's more LGBT characters, characters of colour, and more women, NB and LGBT folx working on these shows. Hot takes about how cartoons "aren't as good as they used to be" are just ignoring all these strides ( ・∇・)

Americans saw these sights in Hong Kong, condemned the CCP and the police. The protestors were “freedom fighters”. And yet the same tactics used in Minneapolis are the actions of “looters” and “rioters”? Police action now, the use of tear gas and rubber bullets, is “justified”?
