I really hate all those “No the cartoon is for kids!” posts because it really seem to dismiss. In most of the interviews I’ve read or watched a lot of cartoon creators don’t see their show as being “for kids” but a “for everyone” kind of thing.

Also, is ‘for kids’ a bad thing?

 No. In the posts I’m talking about saying its “for kids” is stated more like a matter of fact.I should have been more detailed. Those posts in context are in response to the people who are like “this show is so dark and detailed its not just a kids show” Like the poeple who don’t want to say its a kids show cause they think its too good for that. The people it make the “its IS for kids” posts think its fine that people like it but need to acknowledge its for kids.

 The reason I don’t like the way they that a show is for kids is cause I think putting it that way is a bit demeaning to what the various creators thing the show is for, who often wouldn’t refer to their cartoon as being made for kids.
