Moody Margaret is not a role model and is very much the villain of the piece (if Horrid Henry can be described as a 'hero'). Please watch it in context of the episode...https://youtu.be/NV068B4qVU4?t=4m21s …

The woman-coded character is called "moody" and you think that's not enforcing gender stereotypes? OMG

On the contrary, that enforces worrying gender stereotypes. FFS I didn't even mention gender... It's pretty dubious to say that this episode is racist on the grounds that one character says "yuck, africa" when another earlier on says "I've always wanted to visit africa".

I haven't watched the episode, but just from "moody" to describe a woman-coded character, I've low hopes. Racism and sexism often go hand-in-hand. Kyriarchy is a powerful drug.

If you wish to engage in a post-structuralist textual deconstruction of Horrid Henry, I suggest you write a paper. Twitter really isn't the place, and the academia is woefully short of Female Academics at the moment.
