That point is moot. We are dealing with what we have been given.



This conversation is about Cheetara, and how she can be perceived by both the target audience and their parents. You're adding elements that distract from the point trying to be funny, but this is really serious, so I leave them aside.

DN said she chose Tygra so it was *not* just a thank you kiss, it was the excuse to kiss. You do not tell an 8 year-old you kiss thanks like that. This is what sets parents apart, and the whole teaching/children psichology community has my back here (ask your brother and your sister in law, since they've probably been to at least one lecture about this issue at the kids' school, in my area it's given once a year): we don't want them to think they can kiss or be kissed thanks in such a fashion. It's the same as when you refrain from softly slapping their cute little butts as soon as they turn one year old, so they won't grow up believing it's OK for another kid / a teen / an adult to touch them. The kind of message that's all right by a teen (thank you kiss) is not the right message to a child under 10 (somebody else can kiss you like that and you have to accept it because it's thanks and thanks is a good thing).

This is multiplied by a number of behaviors that are completely innocent in appearance at the close family level but in reality may leave them exposed to possibility of not recognizing / not reacting to abuse. We raise by example and we are not ambiguous in our message.

You're going to be a parent. I'm not trying to scare you, but it's not too early to concern yourself with these issues, and talk them over with your SO and perhaps with your brother and his wife as well.

i have no words to describe what the *%^& im reading.
