Rather suggestive of what? The idea that non-gender-normative identities exist in the world? Crossdressers? Transgenders? Would you rather they remained oblivious of a reality you find too icky for the delicate eyes and ears of babes?
I wish people of all political and social leanings would just stop whining about everything under the sun. It makes me so incredibly weary of engaging with human beings of late. It's a goddamn children's cartoon. If it offends you, switch to another channel. Use parental locks on your television set. If not, let your kids watch it. It's a wishy-washy middle-of-the-road stance that doesn't take any kind of side, but it's all I really have any patience for. Mostly because I know exactly how discussions like this will turn out. One camp will maintain that it's icky/morally offensive/the gateway to hell/whatever while the other will maintain that the first camp is full of Luddite-esque opponents of social progress/equality/justice, and never the twain shall meet. And you know what? Shezow! isn't even that good. You should all do your children a favor and buy them a boxset of Courage the Cowardly Dog. That sh!t is gold.
When I first heard the phrase "Stop the world, I want to get off", I dismissed it as one of those corny T-Shirt slogans idiot teenagers are so fond of, but I've never empathized with it as much as I do now.
I'm sure the similarity to Shazam is more than coincidental, but I don't see how that makes it inappropriate for kids.
