More gay cartoon characters revealed! 

Why Can't we leave certain things as they are????...Why do we need to interpret them in our own ways, colour them in our own terms and make them look ugly(atleast perceived)....The cartoons are one of the most powerfull medium to a child....I still remember reading ambhulimama and Siruvarmalar, imagining myself to be the hero in the story, fighting for my survival against the evils of the world, laughing with the Hero, crying with him, Loving his Girl, trusting his friends, caring for his parents......Should the child in the future be subjected to these sort of Moral questions before falling in love with a cartoon....Are these cartoons not the first contact of good, bad and the ugly that a child comes to associate with....For a long time in my childhood, a typical villan would be with big moustache, big red eyes, thundering voice...and a Hero would be handsome, soft, well-meaning and helpfull guy....When the world opened up before me all these things were learnt, relearnt, delearnt, some forgotten, some outright rejected and some reinforced...but never in my childhood was I subjected to a situation where I need to take a moral judgement....
When as adults, we ourselves are divided on whether Same Sex partners are Moralistic or not, is there any necessities in whipping up passions on a simple subject like a cartoon...There was never a situation, as a child that I would have felt that what Ravana did was right...even now I dont think what he did was right...it is because, there was a near unanimous agreement on such matters...I would have no problem when a character says that "Killing is bad"...because the entire society was clear on it...But now, the society isn't yet clear on these matters.....there is still a lot of flux in these matters...So, how justified would it be to teach our kids certain moral principles, when we ourselves are not clear of it???
Would this lead to me becoming a guy with no friends??....Would the society think that , just because a person is Homo-sexual, he is immoral????....I have no problem if the entire society thinks so...then I too would say that he is immoral....because, morality is society dependent.....not individual choice...there individual freedom doesn't take a cause....but when there is no agreement in the society itself, then there is some serious problem in decreeing about the morality. Theft is considered to be Immoral because, the entire society thought so...if not there would have been great confusion over theft....Stealing has become wrong only because the society thought so..otherwise, who is to tell that stealing is wrong????
Whatever be it, I am saddened by the colouring of the Cartoons...for good or for bad...this might be constructed as a step in recognising that same sex is acceptable....But in my opinion, there are many other ways to do it....Let Child's Play be just that....Child's Play....Let us not convert them into Adults Only.....
