the people sexualizing were dan schneider and the people who set these scenarios up, yeah this shit is "funny for kids" but kids don't know any better and won't notice the sexualization, anyone who isn't a kid will know that ariana squeezing a potato while saying "give up the juice" is weird as hell and so is her drinking water upside down
When I was a kid the only episode that kinda creeped me and my sister out was the episode where the crew get stuck in a trailer or I think it was a van and it’s really hot and they all start sweating and some of them made some questionable comments that made me and my sisters look at each other like WTF did they just say!?!?
stfu if you sit here and call all these scenarios innocent despite her character cat being made the dan schneider who is a known creep then you need to go to hell
