God it was so fucking obnoxious to play Power Rangers in kindergarten. “You’re a giiiiirrrrlll, so you have to be the pink ranger.”
so wanna play pink ranger?
Can we play Warrior Cats instead? I get to be Fireheart, you have to be Tigerclaw.

At least they had diversity…?
True, and honestly I didn’t notice as a kid
