Blaze Media Reports: A cartoon about alien robots intended for children is being ridiculed and excoriated online for introducing a non-binary robot character into a beloved franchise from the 1980s.

Among those posting videos from "Transformers: EarthSpark" was the Libs of TikTok account.

The short clip shows the "Nightshade" robot character tell a human character that its pronouns are they and them, and the human responds with more pronoun preferences. The character then goes on to say that they feel better whenever in the presence of another person who is non-binary.



“I know I’m safe when I’m with my friends or other non-binary people," the character says in the clip.
