The fact that people are dreading Little House On Prairie reboot because they don't want it to be 'woke'....did they even watch the original fully??? Because that did tackle shit that nowadays would be classed as 'woke'.

#i cant recall all of it myself tbh i used to watch it as a kid and thats it #as my parents had its reruns on alot and deemed it safe for me to watch with them #but like i recall there was literally an episode where a girl gets r-worded and you see the classic victim blaming throughout it #even prior to the incident happening shes victim blamed for her developing body and its clear all of this victim blaming is wrong #as the boys are caught peaking on her once and one of the classmates moms calls a meeting to blame the girl #only for the main family dad to lead others in saying its not her fault its the boys #and i think at one point there are women's rights brought up #and not really woke but they do address women and their grief when not addressed back then when laura's classmate dies #and laura ultimately gets kidnapped by the mom when she believes laura is her dead daughter #with all the men in the village believing its someone named busby who they view as dangerous #granted i cant find out if the episode coded him as being disabled in any way but like #he gets suspected when found with lauras school stuff only for it to be revealed he didnt know anything he just found the stuff #and liked the pictures in the books #like again this show did alot so why the fuck fear making it woke #if anything it might uh erase the issues the show did have let alone the books...
