>>105468939I don't think your remember how bleak and omnipresent these cartoon were. Most of the stuff aimed at young girls was historical tearjerkers.
Besides, "you may have a shitty unsupportive family, but so do your heroes, and watch how they bow their heads and don't make noise. Be like them and stay quiet while you spend the week-end in a garden shack during winter" is a VERY shitty lesson to teach to abused kids.
Those guys were complete pushovers that waited for providence to save them after 5 seasons. Guess which character also had a shitty life at home that everyone could identify with but did something about it instead of moping all day long?
