Pretty sure my daughter was raised on worse in Buffy. And I'm glad of it.

Cry more deplorables.
Lashing out with an insult that was a large part of the reason Hillary lost the election. Clever way to show that humanity does NOT in fact learn from our mistakes. Especially when you can't even comprehend the post you're replying to.

"Omg, don't call them racist, because they will be racist if you do that". Get over deplorable. You are going to see the double of "liberal media". You are still going to be deplorable and the media will push against people like you like never before. Enjoy.

Interesting
What did your daughter say during the Pilot episode when Kara was trying to tell Winn she had finally embraced her powers and Winn thought she was a lesbian? That was a year or more ago, so your 8-year old would have been 7? Maybe 6?

I think that was an attempt to write comedy but it probably
would pass straight over your children's heads.
This is not the same world that i was living
in when i was 7,that's for sure.
Honestly when i was young,i read an article about
gay people and i had no idea what gay meant.
I'm not even sure i knew gay people existed at
that age.
I didn't even feel the need to ask my parents
about it. -

Considering it was GLAAD who pointed out only a few years ago 69 percent of American TV shows were full of gay slurs and gay jokes with good examples from a lot of popular TV shows and TV has a LONG history of pushing the anti-gay agenda down our throats I sure don't see you complaining about your children seeing them but when a TV show paints two women (who we don't even know are homosexual or bisexual) in a positive light you claim it is gay propaganda??? If you read the Supergirl comic books of the past 20 years Supergirl (Kara and Linda) were strong, aggressive and edgy female characters who were more powerful than Superman but like many of the superhero shows on TV at the moment we have watered down versions of female superheroes (Black Canary being a great example) that heavily rely on male characters to help them 'cause we can't have them written the way they are in comic books or we will have sexist guys crying emasculation like they did over Wonder Woman in the 70s.

Yes, it sucks the liberal agenda is so obvious in this show. You'll need to explain to your daughter the difference between real life and tv. I'm sure you are a good mom. I wish you all the luck. This show has gotten cheesy and pushing their opinion. It bums me out, but I just quit it. Not worth the hour of my life.
Before anyone says "see ya". I won't be back to read it. Sorry. I just decided it right now or I wouldn't have even come on IMDb. I hate liberals. -

used to be a show to watch with your kids "cause you didn't have to parent them"
Don't be worried your child might think all tough women are gay , teach them it's not the case.
It's your choice to pass Mon-el's antics behind closed doors as 'playing' but a real lesson there wouldn't be 'that's inappropriate for tv' , it would be 'that's inappropriate behavior' . -

I would think the little girl would already know that the show is different from real life in that it has a girl flying in the air. Maybe she should stick with explaining that instead of trying to deny there are lesbians in the real world.

I can't let my daugther watch this anymore. And it's not like i"m some bible thumper or ultra right wing conservative. When it was on CBS it was more fun. It's a comic book character, it should be fun.
But now on the CW it's more of an Adult show. I'm ok with that as long as Adults are watching. But I don't think it's for kids any longer. Just my Opinion. -

I have to wonder where you get the idea that comics characters "should be fun". Comics are an entire form and should run the gamut. And they do.
The only reason there's an idea of the form as being for kids is the censorship of the US Senate during the Kefauver hearings, which also came down on presenting a black man as an astronaut. That mindset got left behind in the 70s and it amazes me that there are people who still buy into it.

OP I see you have more than 3 pages of comments and I would expect that. I'm sure most disagree with you because there are a lot of gay supporters on this IMDB board and as soon as someone says something they don't like, they pounce on you.
Anyhow I came here to post too, because I'm very disappointed in Alex's story line. I really liked and admired her. As you said, she was one of the strong women. She was also very career minded. Imagine she actually stayed home from work to mope. All of a sudden she's gay. She's running down Maggie like a little schoolgirl with a schoolgirl crush. I hate the story line and I hate how they've ruined Alex. She came out. Why. She had feelings for Maggie but not because she was born gay, but because she had the hots for a beautiful lesbian.
The writers feel they have to put a gay story line in everything, and I'm sick of it. I do like Maggie, and I'm glad she didn't fall for Alex and go all mooshy over her. I like that she wants to just be friends.

Well- watch the episode again. She expressed feelings from high school for a female friend. So- she's not suddenly interested in women only because of Maggie. The situation with Maggie served as a catalyst for her to examine herself once and for all and find the courage to admit it and come out. Psssst yah, people are "born gay", it just takes time to realize it because society is so completely heteronormative and it takes courage to come out due to all of the hateful people in the world who are anti gay.

Technically, that's a mashup of two tropes:

Definitely not the mark of competent writing.
