I think Paw Patrol is super bad because it's how people are introduced to cops. It's Baby's First Copaganda, priming them for all that stuff you listed. They already have the lesson of, "Cops are good and trustworthy," making the whole, "and anyone who gets in the way of their methods, regardless how bad they might seem at the time, is evil" a lot easier to swallow.

I don't know. It just seems to me that the worse, more harmful message is fundamentally worse and more harmful, and therefore, more objectionable.

DA

Those shows aimed at adults may be more objectively awful, but they may not have as awful of an /impact/. This is a generation of kids, in their most impressionable possible state, being told that cops are good and trustworthy. That not only makes later copaganda much easier to swallow as they grow older, but also establishes the foundation of their worldview even if they somehow never watch a single cop show after that.

Of course, it's not quite that simple. I watched a fuckton of copaganda as a teen but that just made me want to leave a coffee shop if a cop was in line.
