@hgrsd@hachyderm.io Another plot point, TV series just cannot make (though, there might be rare exceptions): If people are polyamourus or form a throuple, these almost always have to end tragically (reminds me of the 'Bury your gays' or the 'Women in refrigerators' trope). Are these laws set in stone? Of course not. But they are learned(!) concepts by which most people would set their expectations and judge the contents.

@hgrsd@hachyderm.io Circling back to the original question or criticism posed, I wholeheartedly agree with it, though, this inevitably poses the question of alternatives, especially on a level of children's storytelling that both has to be simplified for the audience and more carefully crafted to have a more educational outcome than with other audiences without coming off too in a know-it-all manner. I don't have all the answers and I'm sure not qualified for this. 8/
