If I remember correctly, Barney was used as a device for "enhanced interrogation" at Gitmo. I don't know if that is a meme, or true, but it would make way too much sense not to be something this crazy country would do.

[@SpyricaDragoste]

Was I the only kid who one day cried/screamed at my grandfather because I "wasn't allowed to watch Barney anymore" because it was such a taboo thing to like once you hit kindergarten? I HATED that. I loved Barney and would have grown out of it eventually but instead I was bullied out of it. I hope my grandfather wasn't too upset

[@doggycatalan]

Bro, who even remembers kindergarten.

It was a taboo thing for you in kindergarten? I have vivid memories of kindergarten but I don't remember it being considered too childish to watch until at least third or fourth grade.

It wasn't just kids who hated Barney, there was an actual pediatric article written about how Barney is terrible for childhood development because of the excess of saccharine content and absolute lack of conflict, leaving kids unprepared for the real world. God forbid the person who wrote that article ever sees the mindless slop poisoning the minds of Gen Alpha today...

If the word, "hate" was thought of each nanosecond of the nearly endless time I spent trapped in my own body, it would not equal one trillionth, of the hate I feel in this moment of time! For Barney! Hate! HATE!_

[@wonderstuck-gg]

​@@LoganGrimmnarNo no he's right. The usa is like the ranking king of countries with poor child rights. You might be thinking "others do this" sure, but the problem is, it has the most restrictions on children. If a kid has cancer their parents can let them die, even in places like china that sounds insane, because it is!! So, no, this person is so right. People hate children, even world round, from poor education restriction, to normalized child abuse. Kids are seen not as full thinking people because of their maturity level, but they are people already, they have voices, hands, feet, and they're in their most impressionable years. People get so upset over if kids are resdy to get into work, if they're no abandoning their childhood fast enough. I mean, in the "greatest country in the world" kids are being sh0t in schools. It's kinda a problem how much people do not care about kids unless it comes to using "think of the children" in a debate, which even the most evil parents can easily do.
