I don’t get it either. My brother-in-law is like this. And he refused to take his kids to see Buzz Lightyear because of its “political” nature. I was a dumbfounded when I heard that. To think that representation is just some nebulous political aim.
At this rate, we should just consider any media with a kiss in it “political media.”
And I even grew up with this dude in the early 2000s. He didn’t seem like this before.
I try to forget about the guy, but it’s kind of hard because he won’t let me see the nieces because I’m too “liberal”.
When morons say something about a “political nature”, it’s just code for briefly mentioning (and then not instantly condemning) anything about a character that doesn’t fit into:
Straight white cis Christian household with the oldest male the sole breadwinner and the oldest female barefoot and pregnant and tending to their (at least 2) kids’ needs, and keeping house while still doing her “wifely duties” for him, all while being in the kitchen.
They hate immigrants and anyone different from them in any way. They tolerate them if they stay where they came from.
Anything else they disagree with is a political issue, because an extreme version of their religion is their political party, do anything they disagree with means God hates it, and their party will vote against it, and the normal people will vote for it, thereby making it a political issue in an ass backwards way.
