 "The UK edited scenes in Steven Universe, so it would not be surprising if it's edited in other places (Plus Total Drama is not exclusively a show on Cartoon Network overseas)"

The fact that you're agreeing with their choices to not add LGBT characters kinda sheds more light on the spineless mentality of all of it.

"Well how else could they tell the audience he has a grossly inaccurate representation of Dissociative Identity Disorder?"

Easy. By not having ever created him in the first place if they knew he was going to be a grossly innacurate representation. :)

"Who's offended by Dave and Sky? What have THEY done?"

The show never explicitaly came out and said Dave had any kind of mental issue. Fun fact, kids shows can avoid poorly portraying mental disorders if they just DON'T name it, kinda like what they did time and time again with Mike.

"Most Children's TV don't want to/care about giving messages (like lgbt/metal health issues)"

Would it bother you if I said they should?

And know the facts, Truteal. Total Drama DID care about what they put out there. Total Drama cut out bits from Revenge so they wouldn't offend people about the Japanese toxic spill going on around at the time. Also how the show came out and said that they ordered for Gwent to break up so kids could have a better understanding of couples and how they work and don't work.

So why do those things matter but a legitimate mental disorder doesn't? CLEARLY they ARE focusing on what they put out there, but somehow all of Mal/TDAS got the green light.
