On Captain Planet. I will say on Wheeler's defense given the home he grew up in he had every right to ask "Why people had more children than they could afford". He grew up with it. He understood the disastrous results better than the rest of the other four. Guess what. The complainer is mostly right. In places where multible birthcontrol methods are cheap, effective and readily available there is no reason for couples to have more children than they can afford or resort to abbortion.
The complainer is right, but for reasons that cant be discussed on a kiddie show and moral guardians dont want to talk about.

Reading the description, this says that this is an example of Family-Unfriendly Aesop but says that this is a common moral. A Family-Unfriendly Aesop is not an unusual, non-stock moral?

Family-Unfriendly Aesop is a questionable moral, when encouraged action is not morally white. This Aesop suggests giving in to peer pressure, which doesland it in questionable territory. Whether or not it's common is irrelevant.
Yes.
- In Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends, Bloo is the only one to be on to Bendy being, well, a total prick. Nobody believes Bloo. Even when he proves that Bendy was guilty, Bloo screws himself by proving it in the most convoluted way possible and ends up destroying most of the house while Bendy stole a cookie.
He wasn't the only one, Wilt, Edd, and Coco also knew. Also, he wasn't portrayed as in the wrong for complaining, but for flooding the house.
I'm a Troper!!!

If the trope name was The Loner is Always Wrong, wouldn't it be more accurate with the description and most examples? It seems like the only reason it is called The Complainer is Always Wrong is the quote saying that phrase. Calling it The Loner Is Always Wrong would make the trope Exactly What It Says on the Tin.

- A lot of children cartoons have an episode where everyone go out to play in the rain, but there's one kid who doesn't want to. By the end of the episode, they'll already have given in and left the house to frolic in the rain. Because everybody enjoys being dirty, muddy, and wet.
What exactly is this referring to? There's no shows named and I don't believe I've ever seen a cartoon do this, ever. So unless someone has an actual example of this happening it comes down.
I bet this trope was popular in USA during the Cold War.
