Opinion of Dora the Explorer

[Donerail]

It was the most repetitive mind-numbing nonsense I've ever seen.

Children appreciate repetitive mind-numbing nonsense.

That is repetition; it is intended to help the children learn basic Spanish phrases.

What did you expect them to do, shoot him? It's a G-rated show intended for 3-year-olds; saying "Swiper no swiping" is the most violent it can be.

Children find this amusing.

Guys, Dora the Explorer is little a show for 2-3 year olds. It's like if someone made a thread on here complaining about wearing diapers or drinking out of sippy cups or going to daycare.

Or like if somebody made a thread dedicated entirely to their opinions on another children's show, say something like "My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic" or some such thing.

TBF, they're completely different shows. MLP: FiM is one of the few kids' cartoons that doesn't treat the audience like retards (also, the target audience is like 7-12)

TBF, they're in the same genre.

What do you mean? Animated? Educational (which MLP isn't other than the morals they had to stick on to be legally counted as educational programming)?

Animated TV that comes up under the "Children & Families" tab on my TV guide.

(and Dudes my age that are WAY into My Little Pony creep me the hell out.  My 15 year old daughter watches the show "ironically"....and she's 15.  No, it doesn't prove you're a pedo, but it certainly makes you look like you might be one.  It certainly proves you have no taste and too much time on your hands.)

Dudes my age being into My Little Pony creeps me out, and I'm about the same age as your daughter, so it's not an age thing.

Can we get this out once and for all? Why the Hell are people watching "My Little Pony", ironically or not? What the Hell has happened to this world?
