What, you mean there are official names for these stereotypes? Where can I educate myself about this?
XD
The Watsons are fun - she has a taste for gentle snark that's enjoyable. The books are sometimes anvil-y - Jade, in particular, gets up on a soap box about women's rights and roles, and equality for non-white races. But it has pirates! Slightly sanitized pirates (no frigging in the rigging), but pirates, nonetheless.
I sometimes think hurt/comfort goes farther back than that for most of us - all too often, being hurt or sick was probably the only way most of us got attention as kids.
