Was the show Rugrats really designed to entertain pedophiles?

Answer 1

Of course not. What reason would Nickelodeon have for designing a cartoon for pedophiles? Would it not make far more sense for a childrens network to design a show to entertain children? Who's the bigger market, millions of children around the world, or a couple of pedophiles? You could take almost anything, any book, cartoon, video game or suchlike, and pervert an interpretation to make an argument for it's pedophilic orientation. Which is not to say that there aren't a couple of adults out there who perhaps take a perverse pleasure in watching shows such as Rugrats. I think to brand Rugrats a pedophile oriented show is to fuel a culture of fear where we get into a sort of frenzy about things like pedophilia. Will it really help children in the long run to be taught to fear and distrust the adults around them? I think it's absurd to think of the creators of Rugrats, sitting in a dark room somewhere, trying to think of hidden ways to make sure child molesters get their jollies.
