Who else has the feeling of stuff getting disliked for no good reason?

But cant we all agree that many kids shows ARE terrible? They are so dumbed down they insult children's minds. They make them so bad because they think they dont need to try because they are kids shows. What good is the Teletubies? What about others? An example of a show that tried for kids was Bob The Builder. They had unique animation and had plots! There is an obvious difference.

No. That's not it at all. They hate them for ONLY just being colorful vomit meant to distract children instead of having any substance at all. They don't hate GOOD colorful shows (example: MLP 4th gen, Steven Universe). They hate shows that are only meant to distract kids because it means the creators put no effort into the show and know kids will watch anything so they don't TRY and make the show good even though they could.

Say Paw Patrol, a show my neice watches. It's bright, and has nice colors, but there's problems the characters have to face and shit. Even if they are silly or seemingly simple problems to adults and teens, it's stuff kids can digest and maybe actually learn from it. Or that other show, where there's mini people who work with shapes. That's good because it teaches kids about shapes and patterns. Now take say Breadwinners. Absolute garbage, just throw anything at the screen and have horribly animated flash and is all RAWR XD SO RANDOMZ! That shit is trash and kids shouldn't be subjected to watch crap like that. It's an insult to their intelligence.

Now, I'm not beyond playfully ribbing those good little kid cartoons. Like say, Peep in the Big Wide World. I actually, in a weird way enjoy that show. It's cute, has bright colors, and yeah there are lessons and stuff. But the characters sometimes have strange motivations or they just do something stupid and it's fun to make fun of it. Because a kid would find it funny or the problem investing, but to older people it's just hilarious how stupid the characters themselves are. And making fun of that or the show for that isn't hating. It's just... Well, making fun of it. And that's okay.

Hating would be like, actively saying its a bad show without watching it or at least reading up on it and just saying its bad. And if kids in your school say some shows are stupid or dumb, maybe instead of assuming they're doing it to be cool ask /why/ they think it's dumb and stupid and be open to hearing their opinions. They may have a valid point. And even if it is, and you don't care, you can still enjoy your show. No ones telling you not to. They're just expressing their opinion. Which they have every right to do.

The last part you said is true. Also after reading what you said, even if they want to distract kids, at least there are some morals in them.

[Death Blossom]

No. That's EXACTLY my point. Do you even? I'm saying when it's ALL they do and have NO SUBSTANCE besides colorful vomit. That's my point. There's nothing besides distracting kids.

[DEEcat98]

Isn't there more than just distracting kids? They have been said that they are shows that help kids learn and grow up. (except the kid shows on normal nick because they are not made to teach lessons)

[Death Blossom]

That's the point. yes there is more to shows than just distracting kids. It's why shows are hated. Because they DON'T try more than just distracting kids. They do the bare minimum they can.

[DEEcat98]

Ok then. Also I made this topic because of how it can be true that people having no reason of disliking something especially when it is something that everyone likes is not much of a reason.

Case and point.

Part of it is the government educational programming mandate.  Once broadcasters realized they could slap an  E/I  bug on any old show, even if it's fifteen to twenty years old and woefully out-of-date information-wise, and meet the bare requirement to keep their license, it killed any creative incentive.

What does that mean?  What are you referring too?  Ha!  Examples? 

[Death Blossom]

MLP.

[DEEcat98]

Many old school kid shows are good ones too.

We have more channels now than our parents did, not even counting sites like YouTube and Netflix that stream online-only goodies... but in the immortal words of Mad Max, the turd ratio ain't gone down none.  My dial (metaphorical, these days, as these new sets have buttons) seldom strays past the classic TV station these days, where I watch a lot of old movies, classic sitcoms, and the original Odd Couple, MacGyver, and Ironside, not some modern reboot that got a tech update and a race lift to make it palatable for the millennial morons who don't care anyway and just get tired of hearing their grandparents almost blow a gasket over Sherlock's assistant Watson being Asian and a chick.  And, of course, commercials for the latest boner pill, followed by the law firm you need to call to file a suit when that boner pill from the last ad damn near kills you when you try using it on that cocktail waitress at B.J. Gold's who isn't much older than that aforementioned millennial brat who.  along with her deadbeat disenfranchised unemployed thrice-divorced Gen-X mom, is currently living rent-free there in your two-bedroom split-level with you.

Anyway, yeah, old stuff is way the hell better.

Also sometimes I hear that people just leave fandoms just because of how people in fandoms obsess oversomething that has something to so with the movie/show. I kinda think they just leave it just because of too many people liking it and that isn't really much of a reason to leave a fandom.
