    Why would you think about wee wees when looking at a pikachu next to a trans rights flag?

    As for answering your question. Maybe not polar opposite. But nationalism is pretty common on kids shows, I cannot think on many things as political as nationalism. Certainly “I support this particular nation” is a far more political statement that “I do exist”.

      God dammit. Do you actually mean nationalism or do you mean patriotism? They are not the same, and I’ve seen nationalism mostly in the bad guys territory on cartoons, even that rarely tho.

        In America, they’re basically the same thing at this point. I’m immediately suspicious of anyone who calls themselves a patriot. There’s nothing to be proud of on the basis of which fake borders you were born within.

        No, it does not.

        Let me get this straight. You see a picture of Misty. Do you think of her genitals?

        If they tell you in the show that she is trans, do you start thinking about her genitals?

        That’s weird.

            If I tell you I’m a dude, do you immediately picture my dick? Do you think that’d be weird?
