[Invader]

(I found two plush for them at the church sale this year, gonna hand them out next year)

 

[Jacqueline Hyde]

i still have a wishbone plush somewhere!

 

[Jacqueline Hyde]

found it! Carmen Sandiego Shows How Representation Can Feel Like Eating Off A Dirty Plate

 

[Jacqueline Hyde]

in case you feel like rolling your eyes up into your skull

 

[Jacqueline Hyde]

"Carmen and Chief, a Black woman who spearheads the ACME organization, are the only characters of color who regularly appear on the side of the good guys." Julia is too but go off I guess.

 

[Jacqueline Hyde]

I do agree with them on Paper Star and Shadowsan, but otherwise, it seems like literally the only way to have made them happy would've been to make Zack and Ivy poc.

 

[Jacqueline Hyde]

Also agreed on LGBT+ rep, but that is still virtually nonexistent in children's media, so while it's disappointing (especially given the fandom is, you know, the way it is), it's not like it's a unique problem to the show.

 

[Invader]

(Sailor moon had LGBT before it was trendy)

 

[Jacqueline Hyde]

and yet the cowards could never admit ami and makoto were gay af

 

[Invader]

(That was kinda taboo at the time here in the states)

 

[Invader]

(So they made them cousins that made it super awkward. )
