Like I feel like this is the sort of reaction you'd have to seeing kid show characters straight out FRENCHING another person. Just SLOBBERING over each other. Like I'd at least understand that. Hell, I'd be upset if they did it with a hetero couple because that's just too much for a kid's show. But this is just hand holding, why can't LGBT+ people at least have that?

Again, I'm all for not wanting cheap tokenism that's done distastefully, but this is like, one of the most cookiecutter ways to show affection in a kid's show, just now they're the same gender.

The rest of us are celebrating and we're told not to because either Power Rangers is for kids and kids don't "need to see that" (despite experiencing those feelings at a Power Ranger age level) or that it's some kind of agenda or being gay is just wrong.

Fans: We want more representation and mature instances and themes in our kids show.

Other fans: Wait, not like that.

Again, and this bears repeating. Having LGTBQ representation in Power Rangers is not an agenda, it's not political. It doesn't matter what you think about it, because the people in charge signed off on it after nearly 30 years. In addition, kids who watch Power Rangers are starting to feel a certain way about others. That's what a "crush" is. It doesn't necessarily mean it's sexual in nature.

And, Power Rangers has its adult LGBTQ fans and just people who aren't gay in the least and are happy to see representation.

So, maybe y'all can stop making it political and let us have this moment.

Yeah, I don't even know you dude, but I'm reporting you. There's no need for that.

Of course you do. Did you suddenly grow a conscience or something?

But on topic, your point is extremely valid.

And don't suddenly change your tune by saying you agree with my point to dismiss the fact that you attempted to insult me three times already.

If you have a problem with me otherwise, I suggest you add me to a block list.

Beyond today, you weren't even on my radar and certainly not memorable enough to concern myself with.

There it is. Funny how you said no need for that which the exact same thing I said to you when you're being an asshole to me.

I didn't insult you. So me speaking flatly about how I don't care enough about you to concern myself with you is nothing but the truth. And I don't know you well enough to care about you.

OOO said to stop. Again, if you have an issue with me, I suggest you block me. Full stop.

I hope you work out your issues.
