I mean, why not? Why shouldn’t a new generation have an updated experience of something you people obviously liked?
If you don’t like the reboot, that’s ok. You can still enjoy the memory of the original one.

Why does it need to be updated? Just play the originals if they're still popular and then make something new instead.
Counter argument: sometimes our memory of shows is rosier than reality. Take Looney Tunes, for example. Some of those original episodes made fun of mental illness, PTSD, even suicide.
In other cases a rebooted show is absolutely stellar, like BSG.
OG Looney Toons is also incredibly racist.
Because children have different tastes in every generation. Would you watch a cartoon from the 1950s? No, because it’s boring by today’s standards.
I strongly disagree. Children have no frame of reference, they'll watch whatever is on. When I was young I watched a lot of Hanna-Barbera cartoons and they were made decades before I was born.
Are you kidding? Speak for yourself. I loved retro cartoons like Looney Tunes and the Jetsons when they aired on Teletoon Retro as a kid. Everybody has their own tastes regardless of generation.
As long as Butch Hartman doesn't get any residuals.
I'm guessing because of this stuff? https://win.gg/news/why-is-fairly-odd-parents-butch-hartman-controversial-now/
There is a whole lot more wrong with Hartman than what that article mentioned. If you have the time, Saberspark made an excellent (and long) video about Hartman and his fall from grace.
Wait, when did they reboot the first time??
Depending on your definition of reboot there's the live action Drake Bell as Timmy sequel movies, and the live action Paramount+ sequel series where the fairies go to a cousin of Timmy, then an upcoming 3d animated one in a few weeks. Live action ones are questionable if they count, haven't watched them but presumably the Drake Bell ones are a direct continuation, Paramount+ one might be a soft reboot depending on how much they reference old events. New one definitely does look to be an either soft or entire reboot though since Cosmo and Wanda help out an entirely new kid who seems to have no connection to Timmy, though there could still be references.
I’m thankful I know nothing of all of these things.
Is it really spelled farily? For that typo to be present twice that makes me think I might not know how it was spelled
They just copied and pasted the text. It's spelled fairly.
