D.W. was intentionally voiced by a little boy because all the little girls that auditioned for her were just too sweet sounding.

[@thesupershinymegagengar2034]

Might be for the best. If anything, having a sweet sounding voice would make D.W. even more annoying and more condescending sounding than she already is. That would've added gasoline to an open fire. We already have Little Susie from Phineas and Ferb for that.

[@Markcrazeer]

yes and no, it is that if someone does a crime against you that you had just gotten done committing you should remember that feeling of having that crime done to you and never do it again. essentially teaching him that if dw had hit him he should hit her back (or pay some other 4-year-old to do it instead) in order to teach her that being hit sucks. an eye for an eye. it isn't a crime if they did it first.

I was the STORYBOARD SUPERVISOR on Arthur for these seasons. We actually did have a scene showing Arthur clearly hitting DW on the arm on the original storyboard but the client made us take it out as it was deemed too violent...so in a panic to get the show out to animation I sketched out the now iconic shot of Arthur's fist shaking in fury on a Post-It note to get around the client's restriction and slapped that over the shot of Arthur hitting DW on the arm and we tried to get away with the punch off screen...but of course in film, as all the great Directors like Alfred Hitchcock know, by NOT showing something it becomes infinitely more scary as your mind comes up with the most terrible scenarios to fill in the gaps. Arthur had great scripts by terrific writers that were instructed to NOT make a boring educational Magic School Bus type show...and boy did they deliver!

Today a weird word like "persimmon" would have to be changed to "apple slices" because persimmon is too confusing to children and apple slices are healthier. Joke ruined.

Also Grandma Thora should have just told Arthur the truth in the new years episode of what actually happened instead of letting D.W mess with Arthur.

[@Garinovitch]

I was just thinking that. Like okay, in the real world, it's still bad to punch a 4 year old. What DW did was wrong, and what Arthur did was wrong too. But if my son got punched in school by a bully, I'm fuckin' raising hell over it. You know what you teach your child if something bad like this happens to them and you berate them? They're gonna start accepting any abuse that comes to them, believe they deserve it some how. Like holy crap that's messed up.

Oddly strange how most people see D.W. as an iconic savage while others still don’t like her because she’s in term a brat Am I missing something? Because I haven’t seen the show since childhood Plus I remember the punch scene, how I was waiting for it to air on tv and so far it’s not here

[@hannawhite7605]

It's because she does and say what she wants and no one gets on to her about it and.many people wish they could do the same

[@jonathankent1517]

I admit this might not be fair, but DW literally singlehandedly ruined this entire show down for me. I never wanted to watch it when it was on when I was younger because the episode might have had DW in it, that's how much I hated her (and to an extent still do). It's really telling just how bad a character is when they are the sole reason someone might not wanna watch your show at all. Even Scrappy Doo, the poster child for bad characters in otherwise good shows, didn't manage that, but DW Read did.

[@thewillofabeast9079]

I will admit that her behavior (for me) becomes less annoying and a little more palatable in the late 2000s, but yeah, from 1996 to around 2007 or so, she was unbearable.

[@Kaylee-Bear]

As the youngest sibling: DW should've been thrown out the window. Younger siblings are allowed to get away with way too much because parents don't wanna parent them and their siblings shouldn't have to, resulting in the parents being neglectful enablers and the siblings being forced to be parents or completely neglecting and hating the little siblings. That leads to younger siblings either tormenting the older siblings further, or hurting everyone and themselves for attention. (Or just completely shutting down). We've gotta stop normalizing neglecting little kids and practically abusing the older siblings.

I think it's important for everyone to catch a beating for doing stupid shit at least once in their life.

BEATING FOR EVERYONE

[@grass_snake80]

@@PeterParker-ff7ub PAIN = BEHAVIOUR MODIFICATION.

[@TheStrangr]

@@grass_snake80 IDK what brought abuse up. Kane's right, tho. Everyone NEEDS to get their shit kicked in at least once. Not getting that is exactly why the majority of modern society is so fucking narcissistic. People legitimately think they're superior and untouchable.

[@PlanetZoidstar]

I wouldn't say everyone needs to catch a beating, but 100% they need to face consequences when they do something stupid/bad knowingly. Such as being grounded, or required to make some other short term sacrifice. Like having their toys taken away, or not allowed to do fun activities. Just so they realise "stupid=punishment". You can instill good behaviour and a healthy respect for boundaries without violencing being the punishment.

[@kaneconqueror6560]

@@PlanetZoidstar the problem is that different people value different things, so most people have certain types of punishments that they can just shrug off. Violence however is a truly universal language that transcends language, culture, and even species. Something being punished is one thing, but knowing something is hazardous to your health is even more effective. Additionally, this isn't meant for the parents to be the one beating them, but rather an outsider who refuses to put up with the bs that someone that unconditionally loves them forgives.

[@comicfan1324]

Look, obviously Arthur shouldn’t have hit DW, but she did kind of deserve it. Plus, I doubt Arthur knows how to throw a punch, it looks like he just knocked her down. I think it was right that Arthur got in trouble for what he did, but I feel like DW should’ve also gotten in trouble. After all, Arthur told her repeatably not to mess with his model plane, and she clearly did not respect his property. And I know the parents say that she’s gonna get in trouble, but since we never actually see that happen, we can infer that she just got a slap on the wrist. Seems to me like Arthur’s parents were playing favorites in this situation.

[@workermett6685]

YEEEEEEEEEEEES! THANK YOU! Plus, the fact that they throw in Banky being pressured to punch Arthur is "the Peer Pressure" lesson. The episode already done with Buster. So the writing with Arthur and DW was absent minded and insulting towards the audience. Including the children

Beyond a few Arthur books my 1st grade teacher read our class (long before this got a TV series), my only exposure to this series has been KZbin poops, a few memes, some incredibly edgy (and now, hard to find) videos by Cyber-8, and a recent ARG that turns Binky into an unholy eldritch god of some sort. And yet, despite this general lack of background context and investment, this has been a stimulating watch. *Spare the rod, and spoil the child.* Parents really need to start watching for these warning signs and nip this shit in the bud.
