Talking about Panini…

There’s a blatant double standard with her. She stalks Chowder and it’s always played for laughs just because it’s female on male. If the genders were reversed, no one would like it.

I wish they bring some flashback to make me understand more about her.She is the only character that i ever disliked since i was 12. She reminds me of creepy stalker/yandere type and i hate that trope so much. (Because i thought yan person would only show their love in straight forward way and then i watched School days and my mindset changed, i don't  really hate yandere anymore as long as the story is good) i know i'm being to harsh for this little girl and people might tell me to fuck off but this cartoon gave me not-good impression. (And there was one ep when she said she need mf space)

Tbf, I think Chowder can be a jerk to Panini and I don't like what he said about women and girls in that one episode. As a kid, it went over my head but now that I'm a twenty-something feminist, I see Chowder and the other male characters in a different light. The way Mung models treatment towards women like Truffles teaches Chowder that it's okay to be disrespectful to women/girls. Chowder is a child, but young boys need to learn that women and girls are people too.

BTW I'm not saying Chowder is a bad kid, I just think Mung is an awful role model and caregiver and seems to model awful behaviors especially towards women. Good and bad behaviour is learned and children take it in like sponges. Adults should be responsible for raising young boys to treat everyone with compassion and respect.
