nah fuck barney "i love you you love me we're a happy family" like no sometimes I'm angry at my family?? We're not always happy. Doesnt mean I dont love them, that shit really upset me when I was a kid.
Barney is annoying saccharine and promotes toxic positivity. Even when I was a kid I found him creepy and offputting. The hate for him ended up getting memeified and went way overboard but I at least get where it comes from.
Sesame Street I still have found memories of. It's had a cast of colorful fun characters who experienced a wide range of emotions and actually had to deal with problems actual children would face. Even the cynical Nick Mullen has a positive opinion of Sesame Street.
"All happy families are alike; each unhappy family is unhappy in its own way" is maybe a bit deep for a stuffed dinosaur though. But I get what you mean, Mr Rogers never shied from the presence of conflict in loving families.

Sorry I think this probably is some core memory because the only thing I remember about barney is that line and me hating him for it lol

Yeah but even if a kid cant put it to words it still feels invalidating.
