Let me explain why this is really important: Because it takes a lesson every other show teaches you and corrects it.
Most shows will say “Be yourself! Then girls will love you for you and you will have so many girlfriends! So many!”
It’s another disappointing message to young boys that teaches them they are entitled to women. That “hey just be you and you get girls, neat!”
Tino’s mom takes the time to say “No, be yourself because yourself is who you should be. It won’t necessarily get you girls, some of them still won’t be interested but the most important thing is you like yourself.”
That’s a great message and if he follows through with it, it is likely to make him far more interesting as a romantic partner.
I don’t even know what this is from, but this is something I’ve never actually seen articulated before, and it’s SO IMPORTANT.
It’s from the Weekenders and it’s amazing
I love Tinos mom so much, really while she is such a great portray of a single mother. Most cartoons mostly functioning families with two parents, there are only a few that show the struggle of being a single parent or dealing with not having both parents around. This show did such a great job, it showed children that a divorce isn’t the end of the world. And it isn’t only for this family in this show, there are four kinds of completely different families in the show and they are all portrayed in great and realistic ways.
