Another cartoon creator. That makes at least three now. (Rebecca Sugar, Steven Universe creator, and Jacob Tobia, the guy who voices a character in She-Ra.)

They're all on Cartoon Network; you don't see this stuff on other cartoon channels. Really makes me wonder wtf is going on with CN. I'm also concerned. They're literally pushing propaganda to kids, who are eating it up like dessert. How did we go from "Cartoon Network refuses to show a same sex kiss on Adventure Time" to "Let's teach kids about trans identities, shit on intersex people, fill their heads with misinformation, and get total perverts to help make the cartoons?"

I stopped watching steven universe: future when they introduced that NB character. I just...couldn't. I was a steven universe fan for YEARS and I can't even force myself to finish watching the show because they are friggin proselytizing gender bullshit to children. Rebecca Sugar could be a role model for girls as a successful female artist but instead she's gotta be ~non binary~ and turn her back on womanhood. So sad.

Yes and they released a promotional short (Notice how the comments are turned off, lol) which labeled said NB character as "intersex", implying hermaphrodite since the character is a "fusion" of a male and female. Which is super inaccurate and disrespectful portrayal of intersex people, now marketed at kids and confused with nonbinary.

I don't understand. You have vastly female majority cast. You have some celebrity voice actors. You start off with the theme of female empowerment. And then you go "no they're all nonbinary" and turn it into a shitshow. And what's worse is that Cartoon Network somehow approved this.

I was expecting a true sexless character, like the lizard guy in Shera, whereas here she's just a girl with a girly voice lol
