You're all drinking koolaid. You hear a couple loud voices and can't wait to belittle the idea of these man children who criticize cartoons, as if to say 'hey, I'm not one of those people, I'm not a man child, look at me'
Your op is all over the place. Like what does 'why can't kids today be allowed their own cartoons' even mean, when you say that? This actually sounds like an argument against bringing back the same old tired franchises over and over and over again. How about some quality original stuff? Usually people complain about cartoons when they are lower in quality, right?
We can all agree that Batman the Animated Series is pretty great, and we can probably also agree that all the recent animated features based on that show have been low budget and not very good.
Or how about those new powerpuff girls shows? I didn't watch them, but I trust fans of the original show (which was quite good) to be able to call out a lower quality cartoon.
There's this notion that things made for kids should be garbage, or that it's okay if it's garbage. Kids aren't completely stupid and deserve a little more credit.
And you realize that the people who make these new cartoons aren't kids trying to express themselves, but are 30-40 year old men trying to make money, right? It's the same shit it's always been. I think it's just fine to criticize or call out low quality when you see it.
