Re:Disney blocks John Oliver’s new episode critical of India... by sterlind on Tuesday February 25, 2020 @03:28PM (#22417095)
I'm trans, I watch LGBT cartoons to relax, namely Steven Universe and She-Ra. Cartoon Network had to censor Steven Universe in several countries, and I doubt She-Ra plays in Saudi Arabia. Cartoons are a sensitive subject abroad, since they're seen as needing to be "kid friendly" (even adult cartoons to some degree), and LGBT content is usually seen as immoral, even if it's just lesbians holding hands. If Netflix and CN had completely folded to foreign political pressure, I'd have no shows to help me relax. Until recently, no queer cartoons existed for exactly this reason.
