I know the feeling. When I was old enough to realise that Tarzan was in fact a British lord I had felt it for the first time. It is as you say, the main characters are on the good side of the moral line, they set great examples,but the stories themselves can indeed be a bit patronizing if you think about it
Wow, I never actually thought of Tarzan that way but... when you look at the story, its right there! Although I have been all too aware of it in, well, most stories it feels like. The same old trope of some lost child that turns out to be aristocracy/royalty/demi-god/chosen etc
I mean, we all have a story, but it would be nice to sway away from the narrative everyone seems to yearn for.
The idea of removing morally wrong historical artworks frightens me more than the artworks themselves.
Rightly so, I would think. Stopping art has always been a tactic of dictators, so you have all reasons to be suspicious.
