** In their defence, this is the generation of parents that has seen their kids grow up with ''Toys/{{Bratz}}''. There's no blame in them for being paranoid.
** What about Diego? Will he grow up too?
** There's a rumor that they went insane over the design because they thought it is OutOfCharacter for Dora to [[TheFashionista like fashion]] instead of adventuring. They said that Dora would rather spend her life adventuring and helping people than shopping for new clothes.
*** It ''is'' out of character for her, horribly so. There's nothing that says Dora can't grow up to be pretty ''and'' still love adventuring. Dress her for the outdoors, a nice pair of hiking boots and more mature backpack--maybe one that doesn't talk--and voilà . Role model.
** Isn't she technically still an adventurer (as in she solves mysteries now)? Also, she lost all her old friends for a bunch of ''human'' ones, which made the fans mad.
** This parent thinks the original Dora is cuter, and the new one is entirely forgettable. 'nuff said.
** This will seem off for this troper, because he never watched this bizzare show, but its possible that what's pissing everyone off is, like another troper here said, the new Dora seems to be more into fashion than exploration, implying that you HAVE to get into fashion when you get older. 'Cause God forbid a girl will want to reject fashion in exchange for good old-fashioned adventure with mundane, comfortable adventuring clothes.
** What everyone needs to remember is that although she's older now, she is still a kid. She's around 10-12 years old. She's getting close to middle school if she's not there already. That's the age range where kids begin to notice fads and fashion trends. It's doubtful we'll get a teenage Dora, but plenty of tweens and teens go through phrases of exploring new things. That doesn't mean they stick. In short, she may be interested in fashion now, but it could be short-lived and she'll drop it later.
** It's not likely the new Dora is sexualized, but she is "prettified" in a [[GirlinessUpgrade sickeningly cutesy, Disney heroine kind of way]]. Not that there's anything against Disney characters, but we have enough Disney princess stereotypes out there. It's totally fine to be into fashion and looks, but the problem is really that girls aren't getting many role models that show them it's completely fine to be not that into fashion and looks, too. They're all fine individually, but when all these pretty-princess-as-ideal-teen-girl portrayals add up, they unfortunately create an atmosphere where girls are constantly given the message that being pretty (and in a way that's defined by the society as feminine) is almost a requisite of being a socially acceptable female.

* I'm watching the series in the original English audio track for the first time, thanks to the wonders of digital TV and its multiple audio channels, and there is something that bugs me a little. If Dora is supposed to be Mexican or Mexican/American, why she has an English accent when she speaks Spanish but no Spanish accent when she speaks English? Other hispanic characters in the show, like Tico, have a correct Mexican accent when they speak Spanish, but Dora Herself has a clear English accent, and when she tries to sound more Spanish, overdoes it with an exagerated strong "r" sound ("Grrrasias"). They couldn't hire a real hispanic voice actress for the role?
** This Troper was born and raised Hispanic. She was also raised in America. Ergo, she completely lost her accent and it was replaced by a Californian one, which heavily sept into her Spanish.
** And note that some other characters don't understand English and Dora [[BreakingTheFourthWall exhorts the audience]] to call out to them in Spanish. Dora speaks both English and Spanish, but with an English accent. This does seem to mean she is of a Hispanic background, raised in the English speaking world, now living in Mexico.
