    Basically, all of cable/streaming animation has been taken over by a quest for “Representation”, from LGBT and/or ship-obsessed fangirls, to the point that the entire industry knows on which side its bread is lubricated.
    And to the point that fangirls literally don’t see cartoons as being created for any OTHER purpose.

    Every time I hear a fangirl squee over same-sex besties on Netflix or Disney+, I challenge them to quote a line from a Chuck Jones classic.

    Any line.

    Uh, he was a guy who made cartoons.

    Brilliant LGBT+ representation aside, can we just appreciate the most realistic representation of a developing romantic relationship in any kind of media so far. Most relationships I’ve seen, even on the best movies or shows, fall into one of 2 categories: the people involved are basically predestined to end up together due to circumstances, selective introduction or forced writing, with the usual useless will-they-won’t-they arcs that nobody falls for (ex: AtlA with Aang and Katara, B99 with Jake and Amy, any MCU movie that has the tiniest trace of a romantic subplot) or one of the characters goes to increasingly ludicrous shenanigans to eventually win over/ wear down their love interest (ex: TBBT with Leonard and Penny, Literally any Disney Channel show from the 2000’s). None of that happens to people in real life who have feelings for each other. You know what does happen? Awkward silences, vague gestures, questioning EVERYTHING you say or do, before, after and while you’re doing or saying it.
    For all of that alone, The Owl House owns a place in the media hall of fame and my heart for ever !!!

    Besides the proud moment for the community… lets also add the fact luz in general is a character many people need… my son is very much like luz and unlike luz whose shown love my son only has ever gotten it from family… everyone else thinks hes stupid and weird! He has found hope in characters like luz and i am so grateful for it.
