I mean, children may well know these days, but they've still got to learn somewhere, and a cartoon sounds like a great place to teach them, and even if they already know doesn't mean I'd want them to chuck them out the NB character/s. Just because it's good in your bubble (no offence intended with that term) doesn't mean things are good everywhere. It's definitely still a fight for rights and recognition, and we need to realise that, especially in the US where things are sadly getting worse, not better. We need to support these kinds of initiatives all we can, and be vocal about it, IMO, not critical. The fact that this is our first openly NB character in a cartoon in 2023 says something, and a representation of 1 for kids isnt much at all. We want them to have a diverse range of characters to choose from, just as the rest of us do (if you associate yourselves with a TF character, I sure don't, but I think I'm an outlier). Plus take into account all the other kids media that doesn't have representation yet and the picture becomes even worse.
