A cartoon on Netflix too blatant even for modern woke Disney?
The Post Millenial tells all about the new LGBTQ cartoon Nimona, released on Netflix, and reportedly so explicit in its own way, even Disney gave pause, considering where they're going today:
But if you think what's describe above is appalling, wait'll you see what the Daily Wire tells about the source material:
Netflix released a children’s animated movie, Nimoa, In June, which features an LGBT agenda that was so blatant even Disney, which is very well-known for its tendency to promote such viewpoints, dropped Nimona entirely upon previously assuming ownership.And that's exactly the problem. It's built on promotion of ideology, not entertainment value. Considering where Disney's headed around the bend now, it's admittedly surprising they didn't want to distribute this embarrassment of a cartoon, though what's really galling is how such products are marketed foremost for children, not adults, and no serious attempt made to build up a market for adult animation stateside.
Left-wing magazine Slate is now questioning if things have gone too far, even saying that Nimona appears to assume that having a focus on diversity excuses it from “train[ing] its creative energies on any other area.”
As Slate’s Sam Adams details, two of the movie’s main characters, Ballister Blackheart and Ambrosius Goldenloin, are former gay lovers who can be seen holding hands as well as kissing. The other major character, Nimona, is a shape-shifting magical being that is implicitly some kind of "gender-fluid" creature.
Examples of Nimona’s LGBT references include repeated reminders that the character is “not a girl,” as well as a scene where upon being told “And now you’re a boy,” Nimona answers, “I am today.”
The piece complains that Nimona is nothing remarkable, as it “takes gay and trans-coded characters and slots them into a story we’ve seen a million times before, about misunderstood ‘monsters’ and fear of the Other…” It goes on to say that given the film’s underwhelming plotline, the details of the main characters’ “sexual orientations and gender identities seem almost beside the point.”
But if you think what's describe above is appalling, wait'll you see what the Daily Wire tells about the source material:
The film, based off the 2015 graphic novel by the same name, came out on the streaming platform in June. The movie centers on Nimona, “shape-shifting teen character,” who “expresses glee at being a ‘villain’ and wreaking havoc, even in committing ‘murder,'” but “viewers discover that her behavior stems from being shunned and misunderstood because she’s different,” the movie review site Common Sense Media noted.Wow...villain worship taken to extremes. Whodathunk it. Making matters worse is that, in a way, a girl's forced into a role like that, and they attempt to justify her behavior based on how she's been treated by others, which sounds like it builds on some of the most bizarre forms of "liberal guilt". Here's more:
Parental reviewers on Common Sense made it clear that the PG rating was wrong. One reviewer wrote that it was “definitely not for younger children. I appreciate that it was made from a graphic novel which should be a sign that it is for the ‘big kid’ crowd. … The language and storyline though feels a bit mature, and maybe more applicable to the older kid crowd.”This screenplay has got to be the epitome of misogyny and sickness. If the character's a girl, well, they sure knew how to craft a vehicle that shoehorns a female into the worst roles possible. With stuff like this littering Netflix, it's no wonder sane people shouldn't want to subscribe to their channels. This has got to be one of the most horrific products they've ever turned out, and gives animation a very bad name.
Another wrote that its not “for younger kids. There is a scene where two men kiss, lots of violence and suicidal thoughts. I didn’t end up thinking this was appropriate for my 8 year old. The girl Nimona in the movie actually tries to kill herself because she’s so distraught…”
One parent, who found it was not appropriate for her 8 and 5-year-old boys, noted that the talk of suicide should immediately make the film more than just PG.
“The title character states multiple times that she sometimes wishes the knights would successfully kill her,” the parent wrote. “Towards the end, Nimona becomes so distraught that she does attempt to run herself through a sword…”
