“This representation was groundbreaking for the time and a lot of people liked it” and “This may have aged poorly and many modern audiences from the group don’t feel represented by it and are bothered by aspects of it” are not mutually exclusive
I’d like to add a “this wasn’t even good representation at the time but it was one of the few scraps I had so it holds a special place in my heart” category
Small children choosing to interact with you is the biggest compliment, like a random baby waving at you on the bus, a child asking you a question at a restaurant. That shit is immaculate.
