A example of this subject, of pushing conformating to an inappropriate level. I remember an episodes of the DIC produced Care Bears, the care bears told a kid not to be sad and smile, because when you are sad it makes other people sad. So basicly they are telling kids to supress your negative feelings, and bottle it all up inside and smile and act happy even if you are not happy. Yeah that is healthy. Where was Grumpy Bear when you need him?
It is the exact opposite message of the Simpsons episode "Moaning Lisa", when Marge initial believe in faking happiness and supressing negative feelings, but after seeing how that effectives Lisa, changed her mind and actully appologised for telling Lisa to fake happiness. That episode was in the first season in 1990, a mere 5 years after the DIC Care Bears series orginally aired on tv.
