Everything about that Lilo and Stitch callout post is laughably juvenile and frankly just wrong but the thing that legitimately concerns me is this idea that a marginalized character, a POC, a girl, a child no less, can& #39;t be flawed or messy because it& #39;ll "set a bad example"

This idea that fictional characters—especially those who come from backgrounds we don& #39;t often get to see represented in media—need to be shining beacons of perfection so they can serve as good role models.. it& #39;s puritanical bullshit and it seriously activates my fight or flight

A lonely 6 year old brown girl is processing the loss of her parents while her older sister (who is also grieving) has to become a mother to her with no support and the threat of family separation.... and ur takeaway is that Lilo is a brat, lol ok. https://twitter.com/SquigglyDigg/status/1246984685567143942?s=20">https://twitter.com/SquigglyD...
