>>113145829Some parents have actually gone in depth on why Elmo is terrible for the series actually.
Seasame street is basically aimed towards children about 5-ish, so they should be aiming to grow into maturity, Big Bird for example is a good character because he's a decent role model for what the kids should be aiming for and sort of represents children age 7-8 that 5 year olds might look up to and know.
Elmo meanwhile is a toddler, he's not what they should be aspiring to be and has sort of consumed the show from within, children follow his example and learn bad lessons off him and start acting younger than they should.
It's really interesting. Same with Peppa Pig.
