“Why do you watch kid shows rather than stuff for adults?”

Because kids shows have:

  • Clean humor that won’t make me uncomfortable
  • Jokes that aren’t related to sex, drugs, death or politics
  • Almost no mention of current events and things that I would like to avoid hearing about in my leisure time
  • Characters that like each other and treat each other kindly
  • Plots that hold morals, determination, teamwork and love in high regard, rather than being nihilistic about everything
  • Interesting and emotional plots that aren’t slice of life or sitcom-based
  • Or drama that relies on real emotion and arcs rather than overdone melodrama and ‘who’s sleeping with who’
  • And creative settings and concepts that adult shows would be afraid to use for fear of seeming juvenile.
  • They’re more likely to include queer characters, and those characters will not be reduced to sex jokes.
  • Romance, if it exists, is treated as a minor plot point and not the end of a character arc.
  • Actually good character design and animation.
  • Found family and strong friendships instead of 'group of people that are constantly backstabbing each other and don’t seem to actually like each other much’
  • No gratuitous violence

Sometimes characters just take care of one another when they’re sick or depressed.
Characters aren’t nearly as dysfunctional, toxic, or even abusive as in adult tv dramas.
No sexual assault or domestic violence.

Characters feel more fleshed out rather than one dimensional cardboard cuttouts filling a predetermined role
