ok first off, you have a point. cartoon characters have become more sexualized over the years. but im not apposed to the new dora as long as the little girl sticks around too. if mattel and nick was smart thats what theyd do. they can cater to 2 age groups with one charatcter. no brainer right? as for the new sexed up cartoons being bad role models for young girls… well thats just bs. yes girls are influenced by what they say but the responsibility to make sure their daughters have a healthy self esteem lies with the parents to balance the negative and the positive and more importantly to teach their daughters about image. i mean the truth. not that over used crap about being a wonderful girl and those who are her true friends will accept her no matter what she looks like. i mean that yes her peers will tease her if they find something wrong and that not everyone will be nice just because shes nice and that she needs to be strong enough to do her own thing and stand up for herself and say no to peer pressure and ignore tearers. its not as easy as it sounds but if parents would be honest with their daughters and balanced how much megative and positive influence she gets (weighing more towards positive of course) they wouldnt need to worry about their daughters trying to follow in their newly sexualized favorite characters high heeled foot steps. and one more thing doras new look is femenine and adorable. not sexed up. leggings flats a dress and floral bead jewelry? how is that slutty?

First of all, few will watch it and second of all girls are preassured enough to be “beautiful” without this. And I swear things like this and celebrities and the press and fashion all together are the reasons that bulimia was ever diagnosed by doctors when talking about a young girl. Just look at any cartoon and you’ll see that the girls are skinny, have long hair and wear mascara. Including Dora now.

Could you post a color picture of the new Dora? The sillhouette doesn’t really do her ridiculousness justice.
