There doesn't seem to be an issue with female villains as long as they aren't the main character.

Sand Link ParentLoki came back from another timeline, and so did Gamora. Black Widow is getting a movie despite her death, and apparently Iron Man will make a cameo in it.

It's not as bad as in the comic books, but it's already at the point where death doesn't really matter.

Sand Link ParentIt takes all that practice and more when you use a real instrument. I've "made music" with software, but I could never play a piano or even drums.It still takes a lot of practice to make anything worth listening to in them.

I haven't seen Joker, but wasn't that a big movie with a villainous protagonist? Maleficent was the hero in her movie, but based on this trailer, I don't think that's what they're going for here.

watching educational content, which is a good form of screentime
Maybe, but a lot of the "educational" channels on Youtube spread misinformation and/or have a political agenda. 90% of the time the kid would be better off reading a book (unless it's really young) or even watching TV, in my opinion. I don't think there are a lot of pros with "digital babysitting"...

Sand Link ParentYeah, and there wouldn't be much left.Also, unsubscribing from (subtildes?) Groups! like ~tech, ~comp, ~enviro, ~health.coronavirus, and ~lgbt would remove an awful lot of both tech and politics.
