It's degenerate woke soap-opera aimed at sexually grooming children. Fantasy has self consistent logical rules which have to be followed and doesn't contravene basic laws of science without a believable explanation. This degeneracy is pure nonsense written by someone with the mind of a 4 year old child, and children don't like shit written by children, and neither do adults. -- The True Doctor https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCngrZwoS0n21IRcXpKO79Lw "To be woke is to be uninformed which is exactly the opposite of what it stands for." -William Shatner
