@Julijana, I agree with you. I will avoid using the word “normal” despite the Merriam Webster definition “characterized by that which is considered usual, typical, or routine”. I am straight so to speak. I have children as well and I let them learn Russian.
When I turn on a Russian Children Program, I know I do not need to monitor. Something I can’t enjoy in my own country with our national channels, and this because of a minority. I wonder why this group so desperately need to appropriate “normality”: We should see them everywhere and whenever we say enough we get called names…

Someone dared go so far as telling you that there is no natural limitation, only cultural/societal. Really? I can probably get a third eye in the middle of my forehead as well. We just need to pick it from a healthy person and we can probably transplant it somehow. 99% this kind of eccentricity is now possible provided you pay enough.
What would you then think of me if I want to be called normal with my third eye? I would then tell you I can NATURALLY have a third eye, and it is thirdeyeophobia. I am discriminated against because people look at me weirdly (why did I get this third eye in the first place, you wonder). I need special provisions in the law…
Lets move down there… Do I, now, mind if some gigolo got himself an extra pair of “eggs”? He can even make some claims to the “ladies” who agree to listen to him… I wouldn’t bother, right?
What is the difference? He kept it in his trousers. Didn’t call it “normal” quite to the contrary…
I ask the same from “these people” however they want to get called. Is that a phobia? I call this realism and respect.

You ask what we think. I believe that a normal company made inadvertently an add that was wrongly understood and polarised and they straightened it so people understood there was no underlying intention, especially not the intention to break the law. Eventually, some LGBT must have felt like S… that even a popular brand decided to “abandon” them, when actually it is all just because of the bubble activists created.
I think it is frightening to see how people live by their own made up reality of witch hunters everywhere. I believe there is a psychological pathology for this… Never mind.
I came across this through Spotify, I saw some podcast about listening to Russian in order to improve your Russian. I first thought great! something for me.
Then I checked the list of subjects and I was like “woaw” is it about teaching Russian or about criticizing Russia? So many controversial topics. Isn’t there anything else you might want to tell us, for a change? When I see 7 comments, it says a lot about the non existing audience. They must have run away like myself! Maybe we just want to hear normal things about a normal country. Maybe actually, if we started to learn Russian it was because of a genuine interest in the Russian Folk, the Russian History and looking way beyond the useless polarised actuality…

Thanks I fully agree.
