About Raised on red flags

Have you ever been in a relationship that you just didn’t feel like it was working, but didn’t know why? Raised on red flags is a podcast that shows us how Disney often romanticized toxic relationship dynamics—jealousy, manipulation, and constant conflict—by presenting them as quirky, funny, or signs of true love. Characters who treated each other poorly were framed as destined couples, teaching young viewers that disrespect and drama were normal parts of romance. As a result, many of us grew up internalizing those patterns, mistaking unhealthy behavior for passion, and carrying those skewed expectations into our own relationships. Hi my name is Mia and I am going to dive into and analyze different relationships we grew up watching.
