About Moomin: The original creator was indeed a bisexual woman, that's a fact. None of the characters are "children" in the literal sense, they're vaguely aged (Moomintroll and his friends are implied to be in the just-reaching-adulthood-and-practising-independence phase) and the animation series(es) just have chosen the more kid-like portrayal to market the shows to children.
Shipping Moomintroll with Snufkin is nothing new, it's been around for at least two decades? The real difference between the "old school shippers" (Finnish fans who grew up watching the 90's anime) and these new international fans is the aesthetic: Finns basically never go for ~adorable uwu~, the shipping just melts in with the general Moomin shitposting/jokes about beer, profanities and sex.
Btw Snufkin having a tail isn't a weird portrayal either, he's half Mymble and many Mymbles have tails.
