To some extent I agree, especially when working with your own citizens. I am all about things like getting to them as kids and changing what they idolize or value to create some positive long term outcome

But now we’re taking the concept and applying it in a piddly amount in countries that have authority figures actively conditioning against it? You’ll have about as much luck changing hearts and minds with that as you would arguing over a US news articles comment section lol

I mean, Dems had the entire apparatus of Hollywood, gov’t admin, the music industry, and higher education pushing certain ideologies here some STILL remain super contentious and polarized. But a few cartoons and operas are going to shift them in an already less accepting country abroad? Come on, use that to smuggle LGBT people at least out of the remote shithole towns that will for sure kill them, if it’s too dangerous to try to get them out of the country

At least then you know your money is doing some tangible good for the population you are concerned about

It might be cheaper in the long term to change local cultures than to continually import the affected on a generational basis.
