There's a lot more than this but I'll likely start posting about these shows more at some point.

There are a few episodes of kids shows I'm not too fond of. Like the Pajanimals episode where Sweet Pea Sue is mad that they were going to have waffles for breakfast instead of pancakes like they usually did on that day, and the episode acted like the only problem was that she just needed to try waffles.

They completely ignored that she was upset over an established routine being changed with around eight hours notice. Nope. All that needed to happen was for her to understand that waffles were good.

That last sentence was sarcasm, by the way.

That seems to be common in children's shows, though. They'll have a "sudden change in food or routine, but all that they need is to try the new thing and then they'll like it". Which, as noted above, can sometimes ignore that there could be other reasons besides "they just need to get used to the new thing".

I remember an episode of Baby Looney Tunes that dealt with Baby Sylvester getting mad that everything was changing. One scene has him and Granny try and do a bedtime routine (that, now that I think about it, probably only appeared in that episode), only for the others to keep interrupting them.

While him constantly having Granny start over after every interruption was a bit much, the others' interruptions started to get to the point that it felt like they were doing it on purpose (which would be a form of bullying, by the way). And the way Granny finished it after the last time felt to me like she came off as a lot more rude (I can't think of another word for it, although there's probably a better one) herself.

But no, Sylvester is the one in the wrong.

There's another moment (either in that episode or another one) where the kids come back to the nursery and find that they have new sheets. Most of them are okay (and pleased) with this, except Sylvester, who throws the new sheets and blanket off and asks about his old ones.

And Granny says that she donated them.

And the episode treats Sylvester as being in the wrong for being mad. Ignoring that his stuff was taken, given away, and replaced by someone he should trust without him having any input in it.

I guess it's because I'm autistic that makes those moments come off as worse than intended. And maybe I'm misremembering what happened. But they still feel off.
