      All through the 1990s Mr Rogers was seen by adults as a hilarious target to mock as everything corny and cringey about old school children's TV The tide didn't start turning until he died in 2003, and even then the sheer devotion to him in the late 2010s would've been weirdhttps://twitter.com/blanketboat/status/1236835096541290497 …

      The Fox and Friends clip people pass around where they call Mr Rogers an "evil man who ruined a generation of children" was trolling, yes, and you can see Shep Smith get super pissed at everyone else in it But in 2001, when it aired, it wasn't that hot a take honestly

      It was relatively common including among people who saw themselves as left-of-center to sneer at "political correctness" and "the cult of self-esteem" and celebrate the idea of being tough and speaking your mind and so forth Everyone who was cool liked South Park

      The pendulum swung back REALLY HARD on that one and I honestly think it's striking in hindsight how predictable it would be that we'd eventually get so poisoned by irony and cruelty our whole generation would go desperately searching for an icon of earnest compassion in the past

      It's interesting to look at that slice of culture, because as a 90s kid I think every generation of adolescents is in a hurry to cast off the childish things they've outgrown but our generation had this space they thought was uniquely theirs, the Internet, and went way overboard

      Like ironically I now think the cringiest thing by far from the 90s isn't Barney and Friends but all the adults and teenagers who would not shut the fuck up about how much they hated Barney and Friends The members of alt.barney.die.die.die on Usenet somehow proud of this hobby

          I mean... Barney and the rest of it YES, 100%, but I still remember Rogers being a somewhat special case who had a kind of extra armor (maybe because he was still a living public figure?) for the most part. Like the MOST famous riff people remember was Murphy...

          ...and his joke was less about Rogers than about race/class difference. The "darkest" take-off I know of was when Carrey did it *once* on IN LIVING COLOR; and even the idea of it was treated as so off-limits they promoted the episode on that one sketch for weeks...

          I suppose people just like to obsess over stuff they dislike. It's very human.

          In fairness though, there are legit reasons to hate Friends.

          I felt like the only person who didn't watch that (why watch some stupid sitcom when Cartoon Network was showing anime?) But apparently I was in good company.

          I suspect a lot of the Gen-X hate for Barney (also Elmo) stemmed from childhood memories of how weird and anarchic '70s kids' shows were by comparison -- early Sesame Street, the Electric Company, ZOOM, etc.

          My hate for Elmo is two-fold: 1) he took time away from Grover; and 2) he single-handedly dragged Snuffy from imaginary friend into reality.

          I remember that. I wanted to share a bunch of Barney bash collection, even from 1992, a Hypercard applet "Look, it's a Barney." *microphone thwacks for gunshots*
