One of the most controversial aspects of the rebooted Powerpuff Girls was the character of Jared Shapiro, Blossom's elementary school crush in the new series. Though created to be the same age as Blossom, he usually looked and sounded quite a bit older than her, and it was heavily suspected that Jared was actually based on one of the show's writers, the man who also ended up voicing him on the show: Jake Goldman. Goldman didn't help these rumors when he had an interview enthusiastically proclaiming Blossom to be his favorite Powerpuff Girl. Though a later interview with another staff member for the show would deny that Jared was based on Jake and that he wasn't a romantic stand-in, fans largely don't buy this explanation, and it's hard to blame them considering how old the character looks and sounds, and just the very fact that he's voiced by the guy he appears to be based on. It also doesn't help that there's another particularly creepy Jared out there (who, if I was doing a list of the 100 Dumbest Moments In Fast Food Promotion would be #1) who also happens to look a lot like this guy. It's just not a good look when there are in-show fantasy sequences of this character with huge blown-up muscles looking like a grown man while Blossom makes heart eyes at him. Even if the character of Jared Shapiro is entirely innocent, and he very well could be, there's a phrase out there that says "avoid the appearance of evil", and this character does absolutely nothing of the sort. In this time when creepy behavior is being called out more than ever, this character was extremely ill-advised in a number of ways, and it's hard to claim ignorance when he checks off so many boxes.
This is all sorts of super duper creeper
