    It gets worse. For shows like Steven Universe or Adventure Time that were popular among both boys and girls, the networks have been known to push back. That means the show would be getting only some of each demographic and compete with their other shows for parts of their audience

    They would rather have a show that specifically targets a single demographic to make their marketing budget accounting eaiser.

    So a well written broadly intresting show is frowned upon sometimes

      Beyond parody. "OH NO! WE CAN'T HAVE HITS, THAT MAKE WEIRDER SPREADSHEETS! We need to go back to "Bratz" and "That fucking canadian 12 yo who was constantly horny" "

      I remember a stupid documental about He-Man, turns out girls were watching the show too and that was a problem for the fucking producers because they thought boys will stop watching the show if they saw their sisters enjoying it, so they made a spin off "specifically for girls" and the spinoff was garbage.
