Cases of babification in media that get my goat.

Before I begin, I must define what I mean when I say babification. Depending on several factors, I use words like babify, baby-fy, or babificate to describe a certain kind of media. This media commits the grave sin of assuming its entire audience is made up of children, addressing them accordingly. Or in the most egregious examples, addressing its audience as if it wishes them to adopt the emotional and thought responses of a child.

Hey Dad?

I consider place of birth and national identity to be two very different things (aww really, I hear you cry). But like a lot of people who lived in Assholia between the years of 1987 and 1994, I watched a lot of episodes of the situation comedy titled Hey Dad..! (The dots are apparently a part of the title.)
