If you don't have pronouns in your bio I probably won't accept you.
Adult cartoons (the non porn kind)
Of course short of talking to them who the hell knows what kids are taking away from these shows. But if my (recently ended) childhood is anything to go by no one actually has real conversations with teenagers anymore. No one asks them anything about how they feel about life. To some degree I was raised more by McFarlane than my own parents.
Things like that make me wanna teach. But I have seen enough of how the system works to know you're not really allowed to make a difference.

I grew up watching family guy and American dad (cos who the hell enforces the 18+ rule on those sorts of things back in '08)
it taught me the life lesson that no one will ever respect me cos im different, and therefore my relationships with people are pretty much worthless and disposable.
Pretty crappy lesson if there ever was one. I didn't realise how damaging that sort of "adult" content is till I was an adult myself.
So I do wonder what the 14yr olds of today are learning from Rick and Morty. Cos my take away from that show is you can talk your way out of genocide if you're smart enough. Although I think it might be more harmful if these kids are relating to Morty, in as much as they feel they'll always be living in someone's shadow. Either way if you're struggling to pick a major we're gonna need a lot more therapists.
Have you all seen the Better Cyberpunk bundle?
A bunch of cyberpunk games and zines without the racism, transphobia, and labor exploitation.
