The purpose of Pride is to find safety in numbers and put pressure on social/political barriers with visibility and protest. The reason it isnt’ “family-friendly” is because you believed we did not belong in your families.
“Family Friendly” has become an anti-gay dog whistle.

The wording of this made me laugh.
“If you’re going to willfully proceed to make your own net, you hubristic fool, here’s how you do it I guess.”
In Rouge’s career as a thief and treasure hunter (across multiple canons), she’s never done the job for monetary gain or access to a power source. Her main motive for stealing gems is the simple fact she finds them pretty and selfishly wants to keep them all.
Although also calling herself a treasure hunter:
In Sonic X she also specifies herself as a Jewel thief, instead of a general one.
The fun thing about how American fandom culture seems to have settled the perennial What Is Anime debate by deciding in favour of “anything that was physically animated in Japan is anime, regardless of any other dimensions of its production” is how it interacts with all those American/Japanese and Canadian/Japanese co-productions from the 1970s and 1980s. If applied with an even hand, this rule would oblige us to conclude that the 1977 Rankin/Bass adaptation of The Hobbit is anime, which is both ridiculous and objectively correct.
This spurred my favorite wikipedia dive of the week. So, the studio Topcraft did animation for a huge number of Rankin/Bass films as well as produced Naussica, Hayao Miyazaki’s first original IP director credit. It went under, then split in half.
One half continued doing Rankin/Bass stuff, including my all time favorite The Life and Adventures of Santa Claus, then got bought by Disney to mostly do Winnie the Pooh movies.
The other, more official half, got bought by Miyazaki and became studio Ghibli. Topcraft’s founder Toru Hara produced a ton of classics, like Castle in the Sky and Grave of the Fireflies.
“Rankin/Bass movies are anime” is going to replace the sandwich question as my favorite trivial argument starter.
The other fun thing about this particular pedantic rabbit hole is that if you’re really determined you can drag both the Jackson 5 and the 1983 Saturday morning cartoon adaptation of The Coneheads into it.
