Meaning
This reads as a complaint about a narrow kind of children’s character, the ones written as loud, rude, and self-satisfied. It points to a preference for kids who feel more human, with softness, uncertainty, or decency. It lands in a discussion of writing for television, especially when a creator wants young characters who feel less like punchlines and more like people.
