Do kids talk like cartoons or do cartoons try to talk like kids?

Kids are known to imitate their surrounding. Yet cartoons are tailored to suit children so they can understand them. Kids who grow up with little to no cartoons do not really speak like cartoons, but they still door speak like kids. Very rare exceptions of kids speak like adults and when it happens it is very noticeable.

As @BluesF said, it is a cycle, where cartoons imitate kids, up it one not he, kids imitate cartoons up it one more notch and the cycle continues.

I observe this in kids as to:

• Those who watch French cartoons speak freach of course
• Those who watch Arabic cartoons speak Arabic obviously
• Those who watch Masha ask for food in during meal time the way masha does.
• They use sentences they usually hear their favorite characters use.
• Their imagination, moatly when playing, shifts a bit towards what they see in cartoons. Like how super hero’s dress and behave towards criminals
• However, they watch cartoons they like in the first place. For example, a kid who likes Dinosaurs will watch more Jurassic Park, Lego Jurassic Park and all stuff dinosaurs.

The entire showerthought must be in the title

Your question belongs more to Ask Lemmy or No Stupid Questions I think.

In addition: what appeared earlier on this planet? Kids or cartoons?

Art imitates life, life imitates art… It’s a cycle.

Everyone likes to consume content that they understand and relate to. I think any kind of media would try to adapt to its target audience, we probably notice it the most with the children’s books and cartoons because they differ the most from “adult” oriented content, on average
