I don't like the phrase "This ruined by childhood", no matter how close these shows were to your heart. Those children who were assaulted and exploited LITERALLY had their childhoods ruined. To be empathetic is different from sharing pain.

The Little Fetus moment wasn't about the body suit. He was willing to do that. The ISSUE was that someone in production said (because the actor is brown) that the costume should be charcoal color instead of his real skin tone, a racist comment. That's what was bothersome to him...
