trying to imagine a person in the 90s getting outraged over kids loving mr. rogers or barney. relax.

Actually there was a ton of outcry and dunking on Barney due to how insipid it was.

No it was deeper than that, though slightly different. Personally knew a few folks who didn’t let their kids watch. Teletubbies was the first ‘this is actually tuning my kid into a freak’ as far as i can remember.

the take was “this show is bad” not “this is a parasocial relationship turning my child into a crackhead”

scatterbrained musings according to @botornot /degenitals hodler /openventures subscriber /degenos co-creator /parenting x2

this is actually a really valid argument!

useful comparison, however 

barney was available max. 30 minutes per day.

how many hours a day of miss rachel do some kids watch?

definitely a difference there and in terms of impact on the kids

Everyone has a problem with everything and feel like they MUST call things problematic publicly and whoever does not agree is problematic. The 90s also valued privacy and individuality which are disappearing as values.
