Saw the newest MagicMush video on more weird wikis a couple days ago, and damn that "Scumbob Wiki" was quite the pleasantly unpleasant blast from the past, lmao.

Mr. Enter's popularity really did screw a lot of people's perceptions on how to view media (well, I think mainly autistic cartoon fans, trust me I'm speaking from experience here), didn't he? Determining if something is good or bad mainly based on how "mean-spirited" something is, especially when said source material is meant to be a dumb comedy with plenty of slapstick moments, is a consequence of Enter that not a lot of people talk about.

Viewing media through an overly-moral lens is not healthy... maybe it's more "valid" if it explicitly claims to be educating children (I'll play Devil's Advocate and say that maybe a bad Arthur episode has the potential to yield worse consequences than a bad Teen Titans Go episode), but it's certainly not the right way to view media like Spongebob. Yeah that's another thing, a lot of it also strikes me as a "please think of the children!/kids need good role models!" thing, like watching Patrick torment Squidward is going to lead to the next generation being a total menace or something.

Cartoon reviewers are really weird about "karma" - I think a lot of them don't understand that if a character has done nothing wrong and faces torment, and even in the case of a lot of villain protagonists (especially in lighthearted children's entertainment), the joke is that it's supposed to be relatable, not that it's "deserved" - this is literally something Chuck Jones wrote into his rules for writing Wile E. Coyote
I remember watching the twilight zone monkey's paw episode at school and my favorite part was that he said "i wish to become the leader of a contemperary country" with contemperary being described as "within this century." and then you know it will obviously go wrong but are still caught off guard when he gets literally transformed into adolf hitler right before he kills himself
