well lets just say I wasn't impressed so I'm kindda wondering if we're talking about the same show

Yes, we are. (shrug) I mean, if it's not your thing it's not your thing.

That's adorable!

The first season popped up recently on Hulu (iirc, might have been Netflix) and I binge watched it. I love the relatively slow pace at which the background unfolds! I had to find a place to stream the rest because I got totally hooked. Garnet...!

I'm not sure I want to watch all of it, the sexual innuendo's in it are creepy (psychic lines for it make the eyes go to the character's crotches). I have seen more beautiful shows, and I don't think kids should be watching this, at least at k-10. But it is kitchy *cute-ish*.

I think a large part of the show's mission is to help kids learn how to build healthy relationships. The show has been called the most sex-positive show on television, but it goes so much further than that. The use of dance as a metaphor for physical intimacy means that regardless of age all viewers can understand the body-positive message. And it is important for children to have access to these kinds of role models.

In our modern world parents have to talk to their young kids about gender, sexuality, love, identity, and these are really hard subjects. This show frames all these issues in a context young children can understand. I don't think there's anything inappropriate about that.

I've only seen a couple of the episodes but it seems cute.
I might go and watch it again.

My husband adores it.

The thing about it that really bothers me though is

Spoiler

that Rose Quartz dies to have her kid. It would be one thing if she hadn't known she was going to die when her kid was born but she knew. Why in the world would you have a kid if you knew it was going to kill you? It's so stupid to me. She didn't get to watch him growing up, she had nothing to do with him being raised. She just gave birth and was gone. It irritates the hell out of me.

Well...
