This phrase is heard quite often, and a large majority of people dislike this statement. The reason is because that they feel that this generation of children should not be dumbed down by cartoons that put no effort into their work. Now, I am thankful that we have cartoons in this generation that, in my opinion, bring quality and entertainment that expands interest to kids and adults. A few examples that come to mind are Steven Universe and Gravity Falls as examples.

However, the only problem I have with "It's For Kids" argument, is that there are people who are being too general about the topic. From several comments I have read, it's as if children should only have to watch shows such as Teen Titans (given example), and treat shows such as Teen Titans Go! (given example) like they're forbidden, because they treat children like drooling idiots...

First of all, not every child is the same. Not every child is going to find the likes of Steven Universe or Gravity Falls interesting. Heck, not every cartoons needs to include morals. They might want to watch something silly and nonsensical like Uncle Grandpa or Teen Titans Go!. This alone does not mean they're idiots. It does not mean that the creators of those series think that children are morons. I don't know where those people are getting such implications from.

All of these shows I've given are cartoons, and they will appeal to a different variety of people. It will depend on the individual child if they find a show to be a "good cartoon" or a "bad cartoon". For example, large majority of people bashed Teen Titans Go!, yet it continues to receive high ratings. Due to it's popularity, it does have an audience. That audience isn't idiots, and I'm frankly tired of those who suggest that kids who watch "bad cartoons" are going to turn into morons. 

That's all I have to say here. In the end, it's all of matter of taste. Let kids enjoy what they like. Besides, parents will take care of what they watch. Again, you don't have to agree with what I say here, but I like saying what I like to say. ^^
