Re: The Death Of Toon Disney

Isn't this sexist? How Dare they do this to kids at such a young age?
You know what political damages this can do, It will strengthen the
stereotypes that only girls watch Hannah Montana which men like Barack
Obama watches and only boys watch Phinneas and Ferb which annoying
girls watch sometimes. It's all about discrimination. I can't believe
Disney, a company that encourages unity among the people of the world
will resort to a thing like this. Another example of Disney
stereotyping is the way NYC teens are portrayed in ADJL. Spud is the
only "normal" kid. Jake and Trixie uses too much of senseless slang
like "livin lime in the summertime" What the hell that means? We use
slang but it makes SOME sense to the old folks. How I know, I live in
NYC. So there. Plus there are many more misconceptions portrayed in DC
and TD series but I won't go there for now.

Animated shows that had a sanctuary on TD such as Kim Possible or
American Dragon are in serious trouble. I've mentioned my theory that
KP will soon be removed from DC - without TD it will likely be gone
from the air entirely! And by making a DC for boys, it will also make
the current Disney Channel push even further toward courting females
exclusively. Disney is supposed to be family entertainment -
