美少女戦士セーラームーン

All Sailor Moon Characters
  I assume that many of you; especially if you are female and/or Japanese, have either read or watch 美少女戦士セーラームーン at one time or another.  美少女戦士セーラームーン is the renowned Japanese franchise better know in English speaking countries as Sailor Moon.  Today my friend e-mailed me; stating that, Sailor Neptune, & Sailor Uranus are gay for each other (as seen in this picture) (Neptune has teal hair and Uranus has tan hair).  As a child, i had an obsession for their movies.  However, i do not recall ever knowing this keen fact nor anything like it.  I do not even recall Little Sailor Moon (light pink hair).  Moreover, it was just a few years ago that i even knew what "gay" meant in modern terms, and even more recently that i knew that "lesbian" was even a word.  So if no viewer knew this, then what was the point of adding it to the plot?
  Now i do not know about you; but for me, i have no memory of the plot from my childhood.  And this goes with a lot of children books, movies, & shows; including: "Bambi", "Dumbo", & "Pinocchio".  I guaranty you, that if you re-watch childhood movies, that you will release that, as a child, you knew close to nothing about the plot.
  So if this is true, then why do they make children movies so complex?  (Before answering this i must state, that i have no history in the study of movies nor am i claiming that i do.)  To answer this, i could simply state that i have no clue; however that would render this post useless, a redundant type, i refer to my first post "Logic = The Church of Jesus Christ of Later Day Saints".  However, there are two main ideas for this occurrence.  The first is the only retort i receive when i vent about this annoyance to my family, & friends.  They all believe that this occurs so that the movie apples to people of all ages.  However, as an adult, i am not disappointed if a CHILDREN movie is not entertaining.  Additionally, as a child, i would hate to be too STUPID understand why the ADULTS are laughing at a CHILDREN movie!  To end this idea nicely, i disagree with it.
  My belief is that movie makers add these fact, that are incomprehensible for a child, in a children movie because of their own naïveness.  It is my belief that movie makers do not release these fact, & jokes are too aged or that too high of education is needed to comprehend.  However, this would be only true if they want to be logical, & nice.  If not, then they might as well be doing so to confuse the poor child.  Even if they do so to be evil, they have failed as the child will not blame them for (1) they do not think that way and (2) they are too innocent.
  In conclusion, whatever the reason maybe for these added incomprehensibles, stupidity is involved with the movie maker.
