I took Berenstein Bears out of my house years ago. Papa Berenstein was always made to be a stupid boob. No way I wanted them in my house, around my kids. It so happened that my ex was a very difficult man who was distant from the kids and everyone else.
but I didn’t want to reinforce his lacks and I found it disrespectful to men and fathers.
My mom didn’t like that aspect of the books either. But as a kid I found them really funny. Plus all the characters had some foibles. However, I can certainly see your point.
