My son is 4, nearly 5. He loves My Little Pony, Unicorn Academy and Miraculous. He recently spent his money on a flapping singing mlp toy at a charity shop.

Seeing him dive into these things makes me uncomfortable, but I’m aware that that discomfort comes from being brought up in an environment where I would be punished if people discovered that I liked those things as a boy. I’m uncomfortable, but he’s happy, and that’s fine.

Hey, has Assigned Male gotten less cringe recently? Or is this just a selection of good stuff?

Edit: had a look, it has improved a LOT since the early days, both in content and in artwork. Go Sophie!
