I get your point and I respect it, but this should be more generalized rather than one episode of Spongebob imo. Such as a thread about how adults are developing unintentionally kids to have bad habits or whatever and use this as one of the examples maybe.
There was a thread a day or two ago about car insurance commercials on kids channels is bad for them. It's just over thinking imo. How could this episode really change a kid, specifically? What scenario could you come up with?
i think the title of the thread pretty much sums up my intentions. as for your question in the last paragraph, imagine a 7 year old kid watching this show. he wears these really different glasses (big, colorful, whatever) that aren't necessary but he gets a kick out of wearing them. he watches this episode. he sees spongebob getting bullied for being different. he sees how mean the people are to him. then he sees spongebob conform to everyone else's views and take the wig off even though he loves it. then he sees that its ok to wear the wig only after its "cool".
do you really not see how this could impact a kid?
You're right about that, but how do you know the ending could have taught the kid differently? Yes, it's not the most positive episode despite the outcome showing how fake people are, but also consider this, maybe everything happened JUST for that ending of the musician to get the hair back.
You could break down other episodes as leaving bad messages. What if some kid is cheerful as Spongebob, sees similarities in him, but grows up thinking his cheerfulness will annoy the crap out of his neighbor and never want to buy a house?
even if it was all for the musician to get his hair back, the majority of the episode focuses on shitty stuff which is what i'm upset about. and yes, you're right, some kid could think that, but put the two issues side by side and see which one sticks. i think the issues with this episode are much more apparent than any issue with the actual spongebob character

To me, clowns aren't funny. In fact, they're kind of scary. I've wondered where this started and I think it goes back to the time I went to the circus, and a clown killed my dad ~ Jack Handey
