Fair. Shamed probably is the wrong word and I shouldn't purport to know about what actually went down aside from a possibly misremembered documentary I watched once.
Yeah. It was something that deserves some critique, but I think ultimately at that point in history, sadly, Rogers was right. It wouldn't have gone well, in the shortterm at least
Yeah, you gotta remember it's 60 years later and we're only just starting to see LGBTQ+ representation in kids media, and even now it comes with significant pushback.
Yeah. Only looking back from today can it stand any criticism at all. But that's easy for us to do now
God that shit is dire. It was literally the best of two options and it was still bad. Coming out would have pit both of them in danger and got the show canceled. Fuck the 60s.
Was this the 60s?
In any case, the cultural revolution that gave us many modern tolerances and freedoms started then. Currently the conservatives are pushing back hard against most of that. The culture wars today are a backlash against the spirit of the sixties.
Much respect for introspection ๐
