Someone told me that Gumball is targeted at little girls, and

I guess there's obvious stuff like Barbie and most shows with a female protag. I get the feeling that the lines are really starting to blur on that thing though. More shows have girls being more than makeup and dating and guys who don't go spaghetti or "ew cooties" when talking to girls.

Gumball is more gender neutral.
That fucking horse show is for little girls, though.

Gumball? I don't know, maybe I'm stereotyping but that doesn't seem to have much that would specifically attract women to it.

Girl shows are stuff I think of like Steven Universe and to a lesser extent Adventure Time. Lots of important female characters who aren't shallow/1 dimensional and specific stuff like how the Gem race is all female and the genderswap episodes of Adventure Time.

Steven Universe isn't a girls show any more than the fucking Powerpuff Girls were. Hell, it's even less of a girls show because it's got a male protagonist and deals with a lot of important gender-neutral issues.

Is that supposed to be the cactus? I don't know about that one isn't she and the balloon suppose to be the lovey sorry couple. I could see that being more of the cloud, who is more stuck up.

Female characters are like 80% of the main characters. Virtually every show has a male protag, that in no way stops something from being geared toward women.

When you put an unnecessary label on a show you do it an injustice, particularly one as all-inclusive as Steven Universe. By calling it a girls show you undermine the idea that boys can enjoy it and learn anything from it, which I would say is absolutely false because young boys can learn more from Steven Universe than so-called "boys shows".

Not that poster but I always considered PPG a girl's show. I enjoyed it despite that.

It's fairly gender neutral but since every moral is basically "peace,love, acceptance" and there's a lot of slow cutesy moments I'd say it does lean to a more female audience.

PPG in comparison is also gender neutral but I'd say it's slightly more likely to attract boys since every moral is basically just "punch it in the face".

I was thinking in terms of it being targeted to girls since OP said that, and I think that fits for SU; targeting girls and getting them interested is totally one of the goals I think Sugar wanted.

That doesn't take away anything from boys or anything I feel, just states that it's a lot more for girls than the norm, I guess is what I'm getting at.
