I don’t see it as changing the way people think, I see it as trying to introduce the concept to children before prejudice can set in.
The thought shouldn’t be, putting messages in cartoons means a decline in quality, though half-assed episodes will try to tack on the message, I think the thought should be, are the writers of the show able to give this message the respect and intelligence it needs?
Again, I see it as introducing them to the idea of homosexuality before any prejudice can set in, if they make the character’s homosexuality as their only character trait, or if the writers put the character in a more positive or negative light than a clearly heterosexual character, then it can be seen as brainwashing, but if it’s a regular homosexual character, with other traits besides their homosexuality, than I see it as fine.
