Queer ppl find ways to make up for their lost childhoods

Queer kids can’t watch cartoons?

[–] doomsdayrs@lemmy.ml 30 points 3 months ago

Queer people usually have bad childhoods either by abuse or by simply having been lost or disassociating, by watching cartoons again with other queer people they reclaim those experiences — now in a healthy way.

You'd be surprised actually. A lot of us were 'raised' by abusive and/or ultra religious folks that hated cartoons. Not all, but a lot.

I don't think that's a big proportion, I assume most just weren't allowed or too anxious to express how they felt about the media.

(Just a hunch, I'm likely cis; I also haven't been exposed to anime or emotionally heavy cartoons until 15, and even then very sporadically)

Yep, this is me. I felt a lot of pressure (from outside and the inside) to conform to what "real boys" liked. And kept my true interests hidden.

I watched cartoons as a kid! I think... I can't actually remember due to the memory loss caused by depression.
