"These stories advance a “culture of prejudice,” Timmerman said, suggesting that politically incorrect plots consisting of a mother, father, and children [gasp!] is often “more hidden when they’re inserted into a story about animals or animal form.” Making sure there is no mistake about their research, the paper includes the outrageous opinion that “much” of the wholesome, educational content available for developing minds “reproduces and confirms, racist, colonial, consumerist, heteronormative, and patriarchal norms.” Research from the likes of Timmerman and Ostertag, while objectively ludicrous, can be of some assistance to new parents. I suggest compiling a list of the books and cartoons these women criticize, using it as a reference for media to which your children should be exposed."
