Dora the Knocked Up Teen Explorer

 

You know is really funny how when you had an article about Barbie getting a tattoo you didn’t put a welfare sign next to her, but yet you do it to Dora, a hispanic character. That’s really interesting.

I think the remaking of Dora is stupid. Who wants their favorite characters to really grow up? :(

I think this article is ridiculous. I think the make over for Dora is awesome. What’s this garbage about pregnancy though? Spare me. Just because whoever wrote this article is displeased with what’s going on doesn’t mean that inflammatory comments and offensive inferences about the character’s future are in order. Maybe the person who wrote this article should grow up. How uncouth.

I think the Dora is awesome! My six year old daughter drew out of her and now may get back into her (and all the learning aspects of her show) rather than watching Hoochie-fied bratz and barbies….IMO

Uhm…. You do remember Dora is a fictional character.. She…is…not…real. So it is only a pretend welfare check and pregnancy. Get a grip!

I think that when that starts to air She will not watch it,we need to keep our children and treat them like little girls and have them not grow up so fast!So far i have not seen it, but my daughter is 2. I will still find the little kid dora for my child to watch. Where is the Morals theses days. I know kids grow up and all but my sister saw her with short mini skirts, that is not ok. I am disappointed what has this society come to?

they made this into an ethnic issue here in the comments. geez as if Britney Speers and her sister weren’t real. The only shock is in seeing children characters in adult situations. no point in bring race in on the story. I think it is nasty the way our society has made having children a bad thing. yes 12 kids is questionable. my girl was pissed when she got pregnant. she was almost 30 too. she called the police on me and went post pardon. water under the bridge, but I said to her… look if you don’t want our son I do. and started to leave with the baby. her sister called the police on me. our priorities are sad. my son is now five… and my girl has grown up and become a better person because of our child. I’m tired of career women like her sister looking down on her. of course the police give the child back to crazy post pardon women… messed up system. you will notice my profile says I’m not married. I wanted to get married. my girl didn’t. people look down at me because of it. I don’t like that either. I have always been faithful to her and especially since my son was born. marriage I support… but I don’t like the snobs about it if someone said to me do you want to marry your girl today. I’d say yeah… but that is not what she wants. child or not. the system isn’t always compatible with people’s reputations

I hate that they have done this to Dora. My toddler loves her. I don’t think she’ll care too much for the grown up Dora. This is ridiculous. Come on dump this idea and bring back the Dora we all love and know!

I think Dora is a great character. Now who ever went to the trouble to bring her character down.You are waisting your time. Kids are gona LOVE her regardless. Troubled minds always wonder off….My kids enjoy watching her and they will continue watching her!

She looks like a soccer mom in your version. In fact, I think she lives three streets over from me.

Tween Dora is okay. My sister grew up watching Dora and now she’s 13. She saw the transformation and loved it! I hate the fact that whoever wrote this article had to stoop down so low as to draw Dora pregnant, with a tattoo, a beer and a cigarette. That’s horrible and I agree it is because she is hispanic, if it were Kai-lan, I bet this wouldn’t have happened.

Do you really think they’ll stop all the “Toddler Dora” episodes just because there’s one for an older crowd?They never said they were doing away with the younger Dora, just that there was one for girls to follow once they were older. Though I think they should have introduced her as a cousin or something.

I think she looks cute. She is not dressed inappropriately. Barbie has worn worse and have gotten away with it. Drawing her with a welfare check, smoking and drinking was uncalled for. Unlike Barbie, she does not have a man next to her. Some people take things too far.

First of all most of you are looking way too far into the references and comparisons to barbie….Its just saying that why change whats not broken look at the rugrats they did fine for almost 15 years or something they become big kids and poof theyre no more. The joke is about Dora getting pregnant not Barbie and the article says how would she support herself if she were to get pregnant hence welfare having nothing to do with her race…WTH

WOW! How a change to a character can be turned into something so offensive and racist.

I love how anything “teenage” nowadays is automatically about sex/pregnancy, alcohol or anything like that. What about teenage Dora that studies in high school, volunteers in her community, plays on sports teams or sings in the choir, or learns to be a responsible driver? My nieces and nephews adore Diego and Dora, and it’s nice to know that they’ll still be able to enjoy them as they grow up. I’d rather they watch Dora the tween wearing leggings than the Bratz dolls wearing tube tops and mini skirts
