TaraElla has put out her thoughts on what should constitute the new 'family friendly'. Here's what she suggested.
New things that should qualify a show as being family friendly:
1) Featuring ethnic diversity
2) Featuring gay and lesbian characters or themes (unless sexual)
3) Promoting messages of peace and optimism in its achievement
4) Promoting multicultural harmony in society
This list is based on what I would want my (hypothetical) children exposed more to.
New things that should disqualify a show as being family friendly:
1) Featuring negative stereotypes about ethnic groups or the LGBT community
2) Implicit or explicit racist or homophobic opinion
This list is based on what I would NOT want my (hypothetical) children exposed to at all before they reach adulthood.
You agree?
