Junkhead Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 I remember when I was a kid it was kind of for girls or something like that. I didn't really care, it was awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alertcircuit Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 The demographic was definitely for girls but as a guy I still enjoyed it. Now that I'm older I kind of realize it's actually one of the most clever cartoons I've ever watched. I still crack up at the episode when Buttercup tricks the tooth fairy by giving her the teeth of the criminals she beats up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pixelman Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 I thought it was pretty good Also it's kind of like mlp: not really meant for boys but they still watch it so yeah Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Florete Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 It was specifically intended for girls, yes, but had great periphery demographic value. I recall once reading a study that claimed more boys actually watched it, though I can't confirm if that was true. I liked it and knew boys who also liked it. I really never considered it a "girl's show," but then, that might be part of what made it really good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elieson Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 I seem to recall Lauren Faust saying that she made the show (and Fosters, and MLP) in a way that it could appeal to audiences regardless of gender, and relatively regardless of age.

DreadFighter Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 Bad comparison In all seriousness it's good like Dexters Lab, and other good cartoons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kon Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 Powerpuff Girls was one of my favorite shows growing up ;u; It was amazing and wasn't stereotypically girly like a lot of other girl shows at the time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Esme Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 (edited) Pretty sure it was intended for both boys and girls. Also, I had a crush on Bubbles when I was a kid. Edited August 29, 2014 by Esme Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZemZem Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 That show was great. I had a huge crush on Blossom when I was like, seven or eight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loki Laufeyson Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 Im pretty sure it wasnt supposed to be just for girls. Just like how Kimpossible wasnt supposed to be just a girls show. Female leads =/= girls show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Original Alear Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 My favorite part of powerpuff girls is how their "jet trail" from flying around obscures their feet. I dunno. I just think it's really great. Well maybe not all the time, but I know it sometimes does that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Refa Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 Nope. Im pretty sure it wasnt supposed to be just for girls. Just like how Kimpossible wasnt supposed to be just a girls show. Female leads =/= girls show. Kim Possible was great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Melissa Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 (edited) I didn't think of it as a girl show, I just watched it because it was funny Edited August 29, 2014 by CountessDeLaRoca Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rehab Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 (edited) An ftm friend told me they didn't watch the show as a kid because they thought it was, indeed, for girls. I was about as mock-outraged as you can be without actually being outraged Then again, when I was a little jerk, I thought it couldn't be one of those shows that was only for girls, because it was way too funny. :smith: Edited August 31, 2014 by Rehab Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandomX2 Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 Nah, I liked it, and I'm as standard a dude as you can get. Female leads =/= girls show. Well said. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Original Alear Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 My favorite was Bubbles. Because of the episode where she becomes hardcore and destroys Mojojojo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
