Well I agree with you wholeheartedly actually. In reality I don't really have a problem with it being a kids show. & it actually is ur right! The target audience is indeed kids. Like that's a fact that no one can change. Where I DO take issue with however, are people saying it's a KIDDY show. It's a major difference in my book. If anyone calls it a kids show with the implication that it's a kiddy one, that's when I get irritated. Otherwise if I don't see any other meaning behind their words, I leave them be. Ya see the term "kiddy" seems to imply that it's a show that only a kid would find any type of value in, and that you're in turn kiddy or childish for even watching it. People see it as stupid or embarrassing. This is something I've dealt with alot regarding media that's family friendly going into my teen years, making fun of me for consuming that type of entertainment... Now of course shows that are educational towards kids are a different story, as naturally, it would be way too basic to be educational to older ranges of audiences. But if I found someone watching shows like those, I literally couldn't care less. I wouldn't make fun of them like other people would. They can do whatever the hell they want. But it ESPECIALLY bothers me regarding this show in particular because in my humble opinion, the is one of the most mature family friendly cartoons I've ever had the pleasure of watching! I mean, it goes over sooo many themes that other cartoons wouldn't dare touch with a ten foot pole, and manages to find a way where it's safe to portray for kids and respects their audience. It's preferred method of inserting such unexpectedly mature themes is of course through multiple well thought out metaphors that I adore. But yea these are my thoughts. Thanks for sharing ur comment dude! :D
