Every once in awhile I let my 4yr old watch cartoons, and she loves Max and Ruby, the two children rabbits that may live alone cause they never show a parent (except for the occasional grandma rabbit). Well, today's show was about Cinderella, Ruby and her friend were pretending they were both the fairy tale maid-turned-princess, while the brother rabbit was doing stuff. Long story short, the grandma came over to find the real cinderella (i.e. whom ever's foot fit in the glass slipper), and lo andbehold, it fit only on the brother rabbit (not the girls).
I have now cancelled my cable.

For crying out loud, don't encourage them, think of the children!
Seriously though, what are these people taking, they're hallucinating homosexuality into everything...
Jeez, nobody ever gets the real point of the Cinderella story.
The moral is: if you take enough drugs, you can crash any party you want, drink the booze and screw the host, as long as you get out in time. Just don't tell your mom or sisters.
Great for kids! End of story.
Jeez, overkill much?
"Gay rabbit on one show on one channel, cancelled my cable."
"Aslan approved of a boy in Narnia, clearly homosexual, burned all the books in my house."
"I saw a homosexual walking down the street, I blew up the entire city."
Yeah. That'll show 'em. They only have 98 million more subscribers left. I'm sure they'll be taking Max and Ruby of the air any day now, just to get you back.
"Every once in awhile I let my 4yr old watch cartoons".
Every once in a while? So not only are you a moronic bigot, you're also cruel. What does she watch the rest of the time? Faithville?
Seriously?
...SERIOUSLY?
I used to dress up my younger brother in my clothes all the time when we were younger. Eight year old me thought it was HILARIOUS to see a boy in girl's clothing. Hell, I wanted to put make up on him but my Mom said no (yes, she humored me, 'cause our dad was out of the country at the time.)
Some fourteen years later, he's perfectly straight. I, on the other hand? Eh...
For children of paranoid, fanatical parents, TV is a precious, if weak, link to the outside world.
This reminds me of an old riddle:
A man is killed in a car accident and the child is badly injured. He's rushed to the ER and the doctor says "I can't operate on this child - he's my son." How can this be?
We see the answer easily nowadays - the doctor is his mother. But in the 60's (and even in the 2010s for "livin_in_the_Son" apparently), this would have been a real puzzle.

Dafug did I just read?
That has got to be the single stupidest, most paranoid, made without benefit of firing synapses knee-jerk reaction (over NOTHING, btw) in the history of parental overreacting.
You, my dear, are painfully dull and unfit for either responsibility or privilege. Please surrender your children and your right to vote to the most intelligent and reasonable person you can find. Don't forget to check credentials and references. Thank you.

WHERE IS YOUR GOD NOW
Uh, in the original story didn't they make the wicked stepmother wear red hot metal shoes and dance until she dropped dead? Or maybe it was they put her in a spiked barrel and rolled it down a hill until she was dead. I forgot.
Be sure to click through and read the post where she complains about how the salad dressing commercial that says it's no longer just with lettuce but seeing other foods isn't suitable for children. Since when do children buy salad dressing?
Cinderfella?
There is something sick about applying reality and its mores to a fairy tale.
As a gay man I can use the term fairy without giving offence, I suppose.
Anyway, it was never a glass slipper. That resulted from a mistranslation of the origial 'Vaire', which is fur. 'Verre; is glass, which is more appropriate for holding wine than feet. Unfortunately both words sound pretty much alike - like, er, 'Jesus' and 'Cheeses'. Presumably cheeses should be banned by fundies.
Oh give me a fucking break.
If you're going to be offended at even the tiniest suggestion of cross-dressing that you'd cancel your cable TV subscription, then I think you have serious issues. And I truly feel sorry for your kids and hope they stay far away from you once they're old enough to get out on their own.
Ok. I want you to look at the remote control. You see the little buttons marked 'channel'? That will CHANGE THE FRIGGIN CHANNEL! Failing that, there's a little red button at the top part of the control. That will turn the TV off.
Problem solved.
Then again, this was in a raptard-ish forum...
I would have thought the Funding-frightening thing would be the lesbianism. Sure, Ruby (and all the bunny girls) have a crush on Generic McCooldude and yes I pretty much wear Yuri Goggles constantly, but there's still something between Ruby and Louise.
Also, seconding the vote for My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. Where is your God now? Viciously bucked in the face and horn-sodomized by the royal alicorn sisters.
I grew up watching cartoon characters routinely blow each other apart with cannons, slaughter each other with Rube-Goldberg inventions, commit suicide, crossdress, and chase each other with rifles and bladed weapons with the intent to commit an act of cannibalism.

A show where a boy rabbit's foot fits into a glass slipper is for fucking Disney.
So? Ever hear of Loony Tunes? Cross dressing, violence, unrealistic themes and the worst ever crap coming from ACME. Seriously, Wile. E. Coyote, just switch companies, they just give you shit!
From the OP later in the thread:
"I just saw a commercial for Kraft 'anything' dressing, where it's said that the dressing is no longer 'exclusively with lettuce' but 'seeing other foods'.....and the ad in a magazine I saw stated that they broke up and are now in an 'open relationship'.....sure it's funny, people use ranch or honey mustard dressings in other recipes and not just on salads, but the connotation is there to compare to real people's relationships. Not being exclusive, no committment, the boy being a princess....these are all horrible messages to broadcast to our young, impressionable, innocent, children....where is the line?"
BWAHAHAHAHA! What a maroon.

"Every once in awhile I let my 4yr old watch cartoons".
Every once in a while? So not only are you a moronic bigot, you're also cruel. What does she watch the rest of the time? Faithville? that piece of shit...
Just had to post in this old quote thread that I recently saw this episode, since Max & Ruby is my 2 year old son's favorite cartoon, and there's not one hint of cross-dressing or homosexuality in that episode unless you count the very end when Grandma rabbit puts the glass slipper on Max's foot. If you're going to be upset at that, then you've got serious personal issues and shouldn't have children to begin with. But what else should I expect from Rapture Ready?
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
