Ride it to the top, take the wooden path to the right, and jump over the first gap. Once they're back in place, Fierro's Funicular will start moving. The second cog is found leaning against a rock, to the right of the motor, while the third is near the entrance to the first small tunnel at the bottom of the rails, on the left side. But that’s a symptom of the problem, not the problem itself.Slap it onto one of the three available slots on the motor. Children’s media is the least likely to be offensive, and the least likely to be problematic. So what you’re left with is children’s media, which often challenges greater issues at a comfortable distance, with defined “good” and “bad.” The good guys win, the bad guys learn, the message is obvious. They’re not approaching anything with an open mind, they’re not going into something that might be complex, because it might conflict with their morals, and in their mind, engaging with something problematic is a reflection of your personal morals, and prove that you are a bad person. This is the generation of “Maybe the curtains are just blue!”, of rejecting literary analysis because it’s “ridiculous, the author didn’t have a deeper meaning.” So you’ve got kids who lack reading comprehension because they’re refusing to engage with anything that has any element to it that isn’t pre-approved. Better to engage with something affirming that makes you feel good, with morals that align with your world view. The second you get into complicated issues like homophobia - even if you’re a queer author - your story becomes problematic. I’m all for fanfic! I’m all for comfort stories! I’m all for protesting the classics that have been determined by cishet white guys, and I’m all for finding discomfort in things like casual sexism and racism in books! But I don’t think the solution is ‘this story is inherently problematic regardless of whatever the greater message is, and I refuse to read anything but my fluffy fanfics.’īut now you’ve got a generation of kids that want a clean cut story with a nice, well defined message. And why read something that might make you question your view of the world, or at least get you thinking, when you could read that mindless enemies to lovers coffee shop au that makes you feel happy instead? Even asking young queer people to read queer history can be like pulling teeth, because it’s easier to get your information off of tiktok or tumblr in nice digestible posts and short, snappy videos. But the solution to this would be to read more books by people of color, by women, by queer people, and that’s…not happening. There’s sometimes very uncomfortable parts, and I understand why people can’t always sit through them. My point isn’t that the only way to learn is to read classics - many of the classics we have were determined by chishet white guys. And then there’s the “Why do we have to read old sad stuffy books?” crowd to make things worse.
I mean, you’ve got people on here refusing to read 1984 because “it’s misogynistic”, completely disregarding what role that plays in the story, and dismissing every other detail of the book, because this one detail is so deeply offensive, the rest of the story contains nothing of value. Problematic media is deemed morally evil regardless of the actual lesson behind it.

I think it’s less about the children’s media as much as it is the fact that the refuse to engage with “problematic media” - which does, indeed, lead to people only engaging with children’s media in many cases, as it’s more likely to be “clean” and free of complications. Actually, I’d argue that while OP is close to the right answer, that’s not quite it.
