But Trump’s FCC has decided that this system is no longer working for them. Last month, they released a public notice announcing that they would like to force the TVOMB to change their ratings. Why?

“Recently, parents have raised concerns that controversial gender identity issues are being included or promoted in children’s programs without providing any disclosure or transparency to parents. Specifically, the industry guidelines that parents rely on are rating shows with transgender and gender non-binary programming as appropriate for children and young children, and doing so without providing this information to parents, thereby undermining the ability of parents to make informed choices for their families.”

That’s right: parents somewhere are scared of their children simply seeing TV shows with transgender and nonbinary people or characters, and so now the federal government is stepping in to protect them by forcing the industry to adopt trigger warnings.

    Yeah but all the het shit isn’t “inappropriate”? Do gay parents try to hide each other from their kids cause they’re “not appropriate”? Stop over-sexualizing the LGBT community to the extent where it comes off as a weird fetish.

      Except they do fetishize everything that they claim their weird ass religion forbids. It’s like they can only get off on things they’re not allowed to be enjoying.

        Technically they would do the same thing for billionaires and anti-immigrant propaganda too if that was the case since Jesus was with the poor people and he didn’t care about treating people as “immigrants” or “illegals”, but they don’t even follow their scripture.

        It’s a joke.
