It's heteronormativity, that's why it's creepy imo. An alien cat is creative and spontaneous, playing marriage is following the script that society expects us to.
It's not bad on the kids part, ofc, but as a former little girl married to a woman, I'm sad that I had to face a lot of deep seated feelings that I was somehow 'doing marriage wrong'. It would be great if kids just...got to figure themselves out.
Addendum - it's also weird to have little kids fantasizing about marriage, or their perfect adult spouse, could not agree more. Stop projecting onto kids.
I'm pretty well convinced that all the 'stop the steal' shit in 2020 was to give us all media fatigue for when it actually happened in 2024.
It worked -_-.
