... It's hand holding, one of the most basic ways of showing and establishing affection without going too explicit. A show of affection that's been used multiple times in past PR seasons when there's a romance, just that this time it's with a same gender couple instead.
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. |

I'm trying to find the words to voice the frustration I have towards people who are trying to say that people like me showing up in media is a 'political stance', but it fails me for the moment. It's just... insulting to even suggest that. On the most basic level.

Only certain people are making it political. 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.

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. |

Everyone, may I remind you all of site rule 3
3. No Discussion On Politics, Religion or Abortion This includes signatures, user titles and avatars. The purpose of this thread is to highlight a momentous occasion for PR fans of all ages within the LGBT community, not to discuss one’s dislike of the relationship due to political beliefs. This is a fair warning to all. Also Sengal and MnemonicSyntax. I don’t know what history you two have but please keep it to DMs. No need to fight in here and start something.

It's nice to see LGBTQ stuff in a kids show even though it's normally a throw away line or a small supporting character. You never see an major LGBTQ stuff for kids outside of Steven Universe (I could be wrong. I don't watch many shows for kids).
Polticial shows for kids exist. Remember School House Rock? I remember that show talks about American history and politics. Captain Planet is pretty much made to promote the Green Party for kids. G.I Joe has deal with politics and it is made to have kids join the army when they get older.

I don't know you from Adam. I don't come around often enough to even care.

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.
