> Men grossed out by the mention of periods, because we have to treat women’s bodies as gross and taboo.
> Discussing any sexuality at all, event straight. Because girls aren’t supposed to have sexual thoughts, and Mei crushing on boys is “lewd.”
> It teaches kids to disobey your parents, because becoming your own person means rejecting their authority 100%. Rebelling is a sin and leads to the destruction of the family. This is the big one for Christians.
> Then a grab bag of all the bigotries. Gender, sexuality, race. Pick your poison, the movie is bad because different people exist normally.
Funny thing is, Mei x Mir isn’t even an overt thing. In the movie, they’re two best friends acting like very common hetero girl best friends do. But oh no, Mir said “we love you.” That must mean they’re gay! Protest the movie for shoving sex down kids’ throats. I think Pryia dancing with another girl on screen for literally a second is the only lgbtq thing I saw.
Pick your dumbest controversy with Turning Red
I think the dumbest controversy is trying to deflect attention away from the fact that it's just not a very good movie with strawmen
I don’t care about any of that stuff, I just think it’s ugly.
>girl literally sells body for cash
Fucking when? If you're talking about when she entertains a crowd in a panda costume, then we might as well shame theme park/sports mascots.
Do their costumes represent puberty?
If we had furries may not have been a thing.
Again, reading WAY too hard into this.
>Mei x Mir
Why is this a thing? Are even girls not allowed to be friends anymore? Just because Miriam is a tomboy doesn't mean she's a lesbian. And just because she's Mei's best friend doesn't mean Mei is a lesbian.
More that she sells people access to her panda, which is stated by the director to represent Mei's womanhood, just to get tickets to a concert. It does essentially just tell kids to go ahead and whore themselves out for cash. Hell Mei even does it for a boy she literally can't stand just to get that final amount of dough necessary to go. Which then becomes really weird when she just uses her powers to crash the concert anyways.
Wait... TURNING RED IS AN EUPHEMISM TO MENSTRUATION???
yeah periods, like most bodily functions are gross? blood clots and shit are disgusting how is this a bad opinion to hold
You can smell the resentment politics on this post
fpbp
When all's said and done, is this movie any more "controversial" than any other?
Because it seems like every new thing that comes out, the same bearded "champions of Western culture" hop on YouTube and describe how the thing is an attack on masculinity, on femininity, on white people, on capitalism, on Christianity, on heterosexuality. Can any part of the work be seen as depriving young boys of strong masculine role models, or of examples of feminine beauty? Can the empowerment of girls be interpreted as hostile to boys or masculinity? Might any part of the work be interpreted as promoting some serious sin, like can we interpret the selling of photos with a big red panda as "selling her body"? Then people watch those videos and come here and repeat the talking points, sometimes with subtle concern trolling, or low-effort shit like calling it "woke", but there's no one in control so a bunch of people will just say the quiet part loud, and outright call it a Jewish race-mixing pedo plot to trans everyone's gender.
Literally everything is a right-wing culture war battlefield now. Green M&M started wearing flats and that was a shitstorm for a week. how do these people have any credibility left whatsoever? It's no wonder they congregate on anonymous image boards.

Would be an even bigger issue for a Chinese family like Mei’s, she’s literally bringing dishonour on her family. A real traditional Chinese grandma probably would have beaten the shit out of this rebellious child.
It’s true most people out of the 5%that don’t care don’t ant to hear about it and that plus the animation and humor makes this more aimed at its audience instead of everyone like incredibles or nemo
I don't care about the writing.
The characters just look ugly misshapen people.
My only real issue with it is it’s the same as the last few Disney/Pixar films which all keep having the same message of parental figures being in the wrong and need to apologize to their kids, it just reeks of people projecting their own issues into it.
At least try to be subtle, pajeet OP.

The dumbest controversy was when people defending the twerking scene
You can't just say something like that without providing some examples
turning red means joining the ccp
The most annoying thing about Turning Red is all the shills acting like it's some modern cultural icon.
Couldn't have put better myself.
In a year people might not remember this movie at all but I bet my mom will. she's reconnecting with her high school weirdo club right now so she'll probably identify with it big time.

It's LITERALLY the 90's satanic moral panic of the 90's regarding video games, except now it's for all media, by all groups, not just soccer moms. It's honestly astonishing, and frustrating having to deal with these abject retards on all sides. Seriously fuckin tired of it.
Like, I agree with some of it on a fundamental level, but then they start screeching cacophanously and incoherently about the most inane, downright stupidest surface level shit that doesn't even make sense when you pause to actually really think about it.
2016 was Fucking mistake.
Incel tear take
Cared enough to post though.
You start to wonder if it's done on purpose by design. Hell, the guy's review when he said he didn't feel like the movie was for him was branded "racist".
My point was that the hysterical reactions are left alone while the milquoest takes are attacked viciously. Which rings alarm.bells to me.
Yes. Its a very ugly, shitty movie.
Bump
As a woman I don't want a movie about periods, or a metaphor for periods. Its the female equivalent of a movie as a metaphor about prostate exams. They're umpleasant, gross, and we want to get the over with ASAP. Reason why people willing take birrh control that gets rid of them.
The panda is a metaphor for "periods" in the absolute loosest sense. It's much more a metaphor for simply changeing from young to older overall. The whole period business is but a small aspect that's deliberately being hyperfocused on in the way of making a mountain out of a molehill. In fact, the period thing is even addressed in the movie separately from the panda business, proving that they're not even the same thing.
To reference the infamous Freud, sometimes a panda is just a panda.
...
>The influencers are whores argument
I mean, I don't like YouTubers, or tiktokers either, but it is such an artificial controversy. It's like saying gem fusions are sex so Steven fusing with anyone is pedophilia
Had you not watch the movie? It's a red herring
>the same bearded "champions of Western culture" hop on YouTube and describe how the thing is an attack on masculinity, on femininity, on white people, on capitalism, on Christianity, on heterosexuality.
I'm so glad I'm unaware of that aspect of YouTube. The algorithm has been kind to me
>teenage Ariel bails on her father against his wishes and rules for a boy and changes her body for the boy and ends up getting praised for it and leaves her father for boy
>Yea Forums loves it
Hmmmm I think it's just anything new is outrage culture, classics get a "pass"
The Gems = Sex thing was more of a writing issue, since they made it explicitly about relationships between lovers in its first introduction, but then backtracked on that and retconned it to be no different than the fusions in Dragonball.
Go back faggot
its not even a metaphor for periods. The period thing is just a way for the mom to not find out about the panda until the middle of school
Yeah, then they tried to have it both ways. Like Jasper raping and dominating Lapis and Lapis getting clear abusive relationship issues, what also making it a silly fun dbz fusion among fwends for a power boost.
And I kind of get it, but they made it sooooo intimate from the getgo that how they handled it later kind of clashed constantly
If anything though it became about a relationship about lovers again near the end for the most part considering those fusions Lars becomes captain of, and all the gems that were hiding it from the diamonds on their planet
This is a paid advertisement brought to you by a Disney corporation shill. OP is a massive faggot as usual.
A woman on Yea Forums isn't even close to representing the average woman irl you retard so stfu.
>As a woman
Tits or gtfo. Otherwise ywnbaw
I do it for free, actually
It's an ok movie. Not the best from Pixar, but neither the worst. Certainly above cars but bellow UP or TS3. Perhaps somewhere along the lines of inside out.
discussing periods and sexuality doesn't work when you draw your "teenager" like 6 year old potatoes. It reeks of grooming intent
What you have against potatoes, bitch?
shut up
then what was the my panda my choice comment about? Was it supposed to be he most expensive bait ever made?
god I would like to have a wife(male) like you
toddlers aren't a good recipient for "puberty is important" messages. You can't say "it's ok it's life" then at the same time censor every aspect of the body changes of your characters
yes it does Mei represents the female mental state perfectly

>Green M&M started wearing flats and that was a shitstorm for a week.
You will never be a woman. Also, you're a fucking idiot. When the left does something solely out of political motivation, you can't turn it around and bitch at the right when they take political umbrage at the left's (literally) gay faggot anal agenda. Fuck off queer.
>men this, men that
I've only seen facebook moms make a fuss about it. Buzz off.
I liked it, felt relatable due to the relation she has with her parents and the feeling of never being good enough
Certainly not pixar's best, but it isnt a bad movie
