...he became obsessed with the cartoon character Dora the Explorer....

I wish someone who has the technical know-how would study that series — and a lot of others— to look for subliminal messages. I am betting they are there.

No, it is blatant “illegal” promotion on that stupid show.

I am so sick of “wetback” and enviroMental promotion on kids’ shows. It is absolutely saturated.

i lack the tools with which to rear apart any video...but I did note this nlog posting about dora" "But Dora was pretty cool, I had to accept.

But there has been a disturbing development over the most recent episodes. Suddenly Dora is less interested in having adventures in jungles, outfoxing grumpy trolls under bridges and doing everything that, in conventional cartoon world, would normally be done by the boy.

Now, all of a sudden, at almost every opportunity, she’s swapping her androgynous shorts and T-shirt combo for a ballerina’s outfit of a pretty dress.

that may or may not be an intentional "gender bender

I used to see a lot of that an acquaintance’s house, and it didn’t sit well with me. So I never did let my kids watch it.

“....look for subliminal messages. I am betting they are there.”

Well, Dora is definitely pro-illegal immigrant and pushing for a bi-lingual America, I’m not sure if you can really construe her as being pro-reconquista, but maybe.

However, I do NOT think Dora has any hidden messages regarding “transgenderism”.

These parents are crazy, no wonder their son is screwed up.

How about “NO you’re not a girl - BECAUSE I SAID SO”?

I’m not sure it’s subliminal. In lots of kids cartoons, the girls are presented as smart, beautiful, and competent. Many of the shows have awkward, bumbling boy characters who are manipulated or shown up by the girls.

Is there a Pedro the Explorer? No? I rest my case. Despite the mythical “war on women”, in the West men are denigrated in most areas of public life, treated as fools by the advertising industry, the “justice” system is stacked against them, (Family Court, anyone?) ,and it is just plain thought to be quite un-cool in many circles to be male. This propagandizing starts EARLY, so it’s hardly shocking that many (especially white, upper middle class to upper class) boys are putting on dresses!
How many GIRLS wish they were BOYS? Notice a pattern here?
