New Dora is an absolute outrage! Yes, it's all just a cartoon and yadda yadda yadda. But, young girls (and boys) do look up to this fictional character and have built a role model out of her. She has been transformed from an adventurous, bilingual, fun loving explorer to a prissy-priss, girly girl. She doesn't even have a backpack anymore! What typing of damn explorer has no backpack?! To me, it's just encouraging stereotypes/expectations about women - to always be pretty. The tramp is supposed to be nine, yet she has lipgloss on! And eyeliner! BWAHHHHHHHHHH!

A WHOLE lotta parents are outraged at this.
Children can't be children anymore, and we shouldn't have to search for suitable programs. Our parents never had to.
My television schedule revolved around Barney, The Big Comfy Couch, Sesame Street and various Nick Jr. shows.
Kids just can't stay kids on their own anymore... :(
Aww. Dora done got a perm and shit! This would totally be appropriate if she came on during Spongebob times.
Maybe they should've just left Dora alone and gave her sister a show. I`m going to miss chubby Dora, lol.
Right! What happened to short haired, sorta chubby Dora?! And how in the hell is she supposed to be targeted towards nine/ten year olds?!
(to Siobahn) Most children's shows aren't really made for children, anymore. There are shows for toddlers, then shows for the more mature adolescent, but very few for CHILDREN. They all have really 'adult' undertones.
