Peppa Pig

Peppa Pig is a 4-year old pig and the titular main protagonist of the British animated TV series mh:terribletvshows:Peppa Pig.

Why She Doesn't Deserve to Jump in Muddy Puddles

 * 1) Her character is basically the British equivalent of Caillou, as Peppa Pig is normally portrayed as an ungrateful, whiny, spoiled brat who forcefully wants to do stuff in her own ways without thinking of others, much like Caillou.
 * 2) Her main problem is that she treats the people around her pretty badly, as she often acts like a huge brat towards them and is often a jerk for no reason whatsoever.
 * 3) *She is mostly rude towards her father, as she often fat-shames him all the time for no apparent reason, even if her dad is overweight, constant shaming towards his body is not only cruel and mean, but it is also offensive to people who are actually fat and want to lose weight.
 * 4) *She is also rude to George in tons of episodes, as she often excludes him whenever one of her friends come over to visit, and whenever George does something that Peppa doesn't want him to do, she ridicules and jeers at him.
 * 5) Her design, much like with all the other characters in the show, is poorly drawn, despite looking cute at the same time.
 * 6) She's a "Karma Houdini" as she always gets away with being nasty to others and receives little to no consequences at all for her actions.
 * 7) *For example, in the episode "Richard Rabbit Comes To Play", Peppa and Suzy force George and Richard to stop playing with their dinosaurs and they make them play with doctors which they don't want to play with, and ends up making the two cry. Instead of scolding Peppa and Suzy for being rude to George and Richard, Peppa's parents let them all go outside and jump in muddy puddles. Thus, Peppa doesn't get punished for being rude to others or receive character development.
 * 8) In a similar manner to how Muck from Bob the Builder has an obsession with getting muddy, Peppa has a bad habit of jumping in muddy puddles, which can encourage children to have self-neglect on their own hygiene.
 * 9) Whenever she loses at a game, she acts like a sore loser and comes to the conclusion that the other player "cheated" or intentionally did something to mess her up when they clearly didn't.
 * 10) *In fact, she falls out with Suzy all because she lost in a game of Snap.
 * 11) *In the episode where they play soccer, Danny Dog who was on the other team scores and Peppa says "This is a silly game!" then it turns out he accidentally scored the wrong team which meant Peppa and her teammates got a point and she changes her mind of soccer being a silly game.
 * 12) *She constantly, CONSTANTLY says "it's not fair", just because the odds aren't in her favor.
 * 13) She often gets angry and worked up over the littlest things, for example, she once got angry at Suzy because she accused her of being a chatterbox, which then Peppa tries to never talk again, which doesn't make sense; you don't make a decision to never talk again just because someone tells you that you talk too much.
 * 14) As mentioned earlier, she almost never gets any character development throughout the show, as she never learns from her mistakes, wrongdoings and neither does she feel remorseful about her actions (sometimes).
 * 15) She is very deceitful about what she likes to play with, as she only cares about doing "girl activities" like playing with dolls and wearing red dresses and gets tricky when she does "boy activities", making her sexist.
 * 16) *An example of her being sexist is when she tried to ban boys from coming into her treehouse.
 * 17) Whenever she fails at something she only did once, she calls it "impossible", proving how much of a sore loser she is.
 * 18) Much like Caillou, she is a terrible role model and a bad influence to children, as most of her bratty behaviour and mean-spirited actions could cause children to mimic her actions.

Redeeming Qualities

 * 1) She can admittedly be cute sometimes.
 * 2) *Despite being poorly drawn, her design can be considered cute.
 * 3) Sometimes, she does get her karma or comeuppance (like in "Piggy in the Middle" when she got scolded by Mommy Pig for teasing George)
 * 4) Her voice actors, Lily Snowden-Fine, Cecily Bloom, Harley Bird, Amelie Bea Smith, including her US voice actor Sydney Patrick, at least do decent jobs at voicing her (well for the most part)
 * 5) In some episodes, she is shown to reconcile with Daddy Pig and/or George.
 * 6) There are still some moments where she is likable (or sometimes tolerable) like "Thunderstorm" (when she didn't act bratty here) and "International Day" (despite being a bad episode, mainly due to how she defends George Pig from Suzy).
 * 7) *She was pretty likeable during the first two episodes of the show, it wasn't till "Best Friend" which started the downhill (i.e. flanderized) of her character.
 * 8) She slightly improved in the later seasons as her mean-spirted and bratty tendencies did got tone down. She also massively improved in Season 7.
 * 9) She does care about her family (especially her grandparents) and friends at times.
