Who even argues over yaoi anymore?

ON TOPIC:

I'm starting to choose neither now. Hey; Hey; i love yaoi and yuri and so heterosexual; but this is for kids and all the characters must be heterosexual Untrue.kids can be exposed to homosexual relationships,besides there was one homosexual couple in "jinx",anyway this whole Margaret vs Cj thing has to stop asap,Sean made his own wiki for that,so a reminder to all take the deep serious conversations about Margaret and Cj there please It's actually different in Latin America. Kids there are taught that homosexuality is wrong, I think. I think that it would be wonderful to have same sex relationships or perhaps even some androgynous or transgendered characters. I do realize that it is controversial, and I respect that it may be questionable to certian religious/moral viewpoints. We all have our personal rights and beliefs to either be for or against it as long as we are respectful and tolerant towards each other. Back to what I was saying, I think it would be great because, for some children, it would be great to see characters to relate to on that level on these kinds of shows. I like for shows to have a clear representation of what life is really like. Gay people do exist, and to take away those types of characters from the children who could relate to it would, in my opinion, be like taking margaret out and away from the girls who want to see a character who isn't afraid to pursue her dreams and career, and is therefore a strong woman who puts her path first and her love life second. It would be like getting rid of CJ because of a stereotype that 'girls shouldn't like to ride dirt bikes and 'act like a boy'". My point being, I don't want to see flat, and sterotypical characters or cliche or outdated attitudes towards love. I don't mean to offend, but I'm just saying that I find it to be a wonderful thing to have more variety and inclusion with character traits and types, as well as more accurate portayals of how the world really is. The inclusion of Gay characters isn't to 'push children to be gay', but rather to let children see life from more angles than one. I say kudos to the shows like Regular Show, Clarence, Adventure Time, Steven Universe, etc... for pushing boundaries of today's censorship. I personaly find it a step in the right direction. For a little more personal info, I would have loved to have seen a gay/bi character as a child, because it would have been great to see characters who were finding themselves and being true to themselves, etc.. in the same way I was finding myself. Just a personal opinion, you don't have to agree. My point is, I am glad that modern cartoons are starting to get more 'real' and open with regards to character diversity, plotlines, story arks, etc... Regular show is a very 'real' and relateable show, and out of all of the plotlines, for sake of continuing this thread and getting back to the point, the love interest plots and interactions are very true to life. It was very interesting, for me, to see Margaret's departure because there are times when break-ups happen and sometimes people move away, etc.. It is great to see the emotions of Mordecai as he fell in love, dealt with depression, moved on, etc.. I thought it was great to see him move on with CJ, and I think it was smart to move Margaret back in for the love triangle, because that is REALITY. The question is, how 'real' should these shows be? and is it still entertaining when it 'goes there' all of the time? While this show gets real a lot of the time, there are many sureal and downright rediculous/cartoonish moments as well. It's the whole package, and that is why it is my favorite show, and that's why I love many of the cartoon network shows and other modern shows alike! Back to the thread, I want Mordecai to be happy with either one, and If he wants to be with CJ, then that's fine with me, and if he wants to be with Margaret, then that's also fine. I hate that this love thing has caused so many fights on here, but maybe we can just sit back and watch, as all of these characters interact in intersting ways, while we also watch the non-romance typed episodes. I'm excited to see what happens the rest of this season, with the triangle and without it! Same for next season, and hopefully more after that! How about this: Mordecai should be with whoever Mordecai wants, and that's it. That Rigleen though... HAHA! Something I thing we all agree on, am I right? HAHA! Sorry for the long rant.. Just thought I would share some thoughts... Sorry for some off-topic stuff too, but I tried to relate it all.. oh well..Back to the thread. Mordecai should pick who he wants, and if we want otherwise, then make a fan-fic... As for potential 'gay' characters, that's for the writers to decide, and I respect ALL that they want to deliver and their decisions on what they want to leave leave out. I hold little respect for censorship, but I see its purpose at times. Self-censorship is much more respectable than forced censorship. At least we have compromise, like with some of the recent Clarence episodes, but that's to be discussed in another Wiki. Carry on....
