Your perception was accurate , but he ' s still the guy that pulled funding from planned parenthood , tried to destroy public sector unions , wants to privatize schools and what worked for wall Street banks Goldman Sachs ? and Fox News . I don ' t trust him beyond his ability to stick his finger in the wind and realize he ' s going to have to keep his mouth shut about his agenda . <| sep |> They look clean . I like your pants too bro <| sep |> Again , now you are trying to shift focus to blaming a bad article for starting it . That ' s just not the case . Where there is smoke , there is fire and from the looks of it the flames are growing . <| sep |> I don ' t mean dangerous in the sense that the kids will be hurt , I mean dangerous in the sense that the show will mean less to the kids that relate to Steven in this way . One of the greatest things about the show is that it relates directly to social and emotional states that people find themselves in growing up and throughout life . It ' s important that the show keeps that relateability because it ' s part of what makes it special . So you have this dynamic between a son and his mother who died during childbirth , and all the complex issues he might have about her , how it affects his view of those around him and how he thinks others view him because of it . This is relateable to people , especially children , going through the exact same thing . Now what ' s more relateable , the son struggling to come to terms with his loss , his unknowing , his frustration and his sorrow at how little he knew his mother compared to everyone around him or a son who gets all his closure fulfilled by communicating with the ghost of his deceased parent , then having her magically come back to life . I don ' t believe presenting anything like this could be emotionally traumatising to kids per se , but at the same time it ' s dangerous for the show to step out of relateability and cause alienation to the very ones they were trying to relate to . It ' d be like South Park ditching social commentary in favour of irrelevant shock humour it might be similar , but it misses the very thing that makes it great .
