Point/Counter-Point – Dora/Diego

Point 

Ok come on, they have to be soul mates. They’re constantly doing all kinds of crazy adventures and clearly have absentee parents from how much borderline dangerous stuff they both do. They’re destined to end up together. That’s like a tale as old as time.

 

Counterpoint

They’re EIGHT. Why are you shipping a show about literal children? Did you run out of YA novels to obsess over? They’re also COUSINS and I don’t think Nickelodeon is in the business of promoting incest.

 

Point

Look I know it’s early, but they just seem destined to be together forever. They just have so much in common! Like they both love animals and, uh, have a close animal companion…

 

Counterpoint

You’re still not addressing the INCEST issue

 

Point

…and they both do that funny thing where they talk to the viewer…

 

Counterpoint

Which from the perspective of everyone else in the show looks like they’re both prone to hallucinations, and probably have a severe illness. 

 

Point

They can be sick together! Like cancer kids in a John Green novel. It’s adorable! Maybe “lo hicimos, we did it!” can be their “always”!

 

Counter-poin

Is that… No, you can’t distract me – you’re saying your stance is that two COUSINS, whose only points of similarity are crippling hallucinations and liking animals, are destined to be together? You need a new hobby. 

 

Point

You have no real proof that they’re cousins

 

Counterpoint

It’s literally outlined in the show. They have the same last name as well.

 

Point

You know a suspicious amount of Dora trivia… Do YOU need a new hobby? Woah, are you secretly a shipper too? Because you know,even if they are “cousins”, it isn’t illegal everywhere.

 

Counterpoint

What the fuck is wrong with you.
