Put Big Hero 6 on for the kids
Moral: you can either be an affectionate nurse or a red-laser murder monster - can never integrate violence, it is Never the Answer
(Ofc they always cheat, & either outsource violence to the authorities, or the villain accidentally kills himself)
Superficially harmless message, but maleness is a suite of physiological & psychological adaptations to violence, & almost nothing else: you were born a man mostly so you could do harm more effectively
Violence is the answer often enough that ½ of mankind is purpose-built for it
None of this prevents creedal Christians from rejecting violence ofc - maybe men are just totally depraved, built to do evil
But if you believe "Gender is an essential characteristic of individual
premortal, mortal, & eternal identity and purpose", you have a harder problem

What you want your children taught is what you really believe
