I like Moominmamma.
same energy
So I compiled as many horrified looking sprites as I could into one super-reaction image, because it felt like a good thing to do at the time
Some highlights:
I’m very glad more people are getting into moomin now but tbh seeing tumblr hype up anything as “100% unproblematic uwu soft” and putting anyone/anything on a pedestal always makes me so nervous……….tove jansson was ahead of her time but it’s still a series from 1940′s white europe. moomin’s an OLD series and it’s ultimately not going to fit your modern standards of woke no matter what, so don’t be surprised if you come across casual sexism or racism especially in the comics (completely unintentional, but still there) and please use your critical thinking skills instead of knee-jerkingly “canceling” the whole thing. also it’s worth mentioning the book series is very sad by the end of it so it’s not 100% fluffy escapism either
tldr: moomin is soft and pure TO AN EXTENT due to being really old and the author having deep depression by the end of it. don’t put anything on a pedestal and think critically
