Did anyone’s parents ever give a reason to not allowing you to watch SpongeBob outside of “bad influence”? Because I was allowed to watch it and I don’t see how it was

I just googled it and found an article that shows that kids who watched PBS performed better on executive function tests 😭

My parents were also lowkey homophobic and thought SpongeBob was too fruity I guess

“Didn’t behave”? Isn’t he a grown adult in the show?

Would love to hear your grandma’s explanation about how a show about a sponge living in a pineapple was demonic

You would think you could explain to your kid that SpongeBob is an adult and can act how he wants since he pays his own bills but I can see how that conversation could go over a kid’s head.
