I know I'm chomping on extremely obvious ragebait as I write this post, but this screenshot I found on Reddit is deeply funny to me:
Again, given the account's username and previous Tweets, I'm looking at a generic "woke left BAD!!!!" rabble-rouser. I know, I knoooow. Yet... even the attempt at getting a rise out of people falls apart when you consider exactly what show we're dealing with on the left side of the screen.
EEnE is the type of show that should make conservatives blush. Heck, it already did; I recall minor moral panics from parents who watched one (1) episode with their children and immediately became concerned about those kids replicating relevant behaviors. (This is because, as we all know, kids have no sense of morality, ability to distinguish fiction from reality, or interiority. Duh.) And the show was already over for a while by that point!
The entire zeitgeist is flagrantly anti-authority. Parents are absent. The one visible authority figure is an abuser; his behavior is never justified in outlandish "always listen to your elders" ways. The cul-de-sac represents a sort of anarchist utopia, where rules are meant to be broken, and a true leader isn't necessary for everyone to enjoy some sort of prosperity. Every character is one scam away from full-blown homoromanticism. Eddy dresses in drag often and enjoys a consistent relationship to femininity. Sarah has a gay-coded best friend and a positive mentor/mentee relationship with an older girl (pundits hurl at the idea of two girls being friends). The power of friendship always conquers all.
If Eddy could sell pronouns, he would.
