People Are Defending 'Turning Red' From Trolls And Haters (20 Tweets)

Pixar’s new film, Turning Red is a great peek at what being a 13-year-old girl is like… if puberty was a red panda, you know.

It’s also been getting a lot of buzz, some warranted and positive, and some kind of dopey. People are saying that the film is “inappropriate”, which has set off a flurry of tweets explaining how, in fact, it is not.

The film is generating conversation for sure; here are some of the best takes about it.

1. Is this us?

2. Best dads

3. Girls are hard to understand

4. Trauma

5. Oh yes we did

6. Aw, yes!

7. There’s nothing inappropriate

8. A lovely thread

11. Bracelets

12. Diabetes patch

I’d like to thank whoever did this. It’s such a little gesture , mostly unnoticed by the most, but it’s literally the first time ever I’ve seen someone with a diabetes patch, let alone in a cartoon. This is so important, thank you. #TurningRed pic.twitter.com/cUZ7MBSIe0

14. TBH I get it.

just watched turning red and i'm confused bc people are mad that the film is a metaphor for growing up / puberty, despite the films plot is literally criticising parents who protect their kids so much to the point of where it stops them growing up

the film is criticising you lol

15. Pads in Turning Red

The way I sobbed when I saw the pads in #TurningRed. Women are so often reduced to smaller versions of themselves, either sexualized or non-existent. To see a film list out different kinds of hygiene products with such normalcy was moving. pic.twitter.com/XYRcnRBDJK
