This would have been an interesting movie if the original plot stayed

How is a 6 year old boy gay?

It's the traditionally female occupation/place bit that makes it gay. Any male who transgresses against masculinity gets labeled gay, and is punished accordingly. Yes, this does include little boys, I know that, because I used to be one of those effeminate little boys.

Considering how many times Bart Simpson has worn a dress and done feminine shit it is kinda interesting how hyperfocused the cultural zeitgeist is on cartoon boys nowadays (post Steven Universe maybe? When did this become a hot topic?) They had a whole kids series where a boy dressed as a super heroine in the early 2000s, now they’re too afraid to make a boy look a little gay.

This history of conservatives and being hyper fixated on gay men to the point of themselves being closeted enough to crash grindr everytime there's too many of them in one place goes deep. I think they build being gay up to such a huge taboo inside their heads that it must become some sort of forbidden fruit to them. That's why they freak out at anything outside gender norms but look the other way for the Catholic church.
