Back in the 1990s, Barney the dinosaur was a huge hit for children on television. Now, a new docuseries called āI Love You, You Hate Me,ā is exploiting a disturbing dark side surrounding the beloved purple character. Bob West, the original voice of Barney, told Inside Editionās Ann Mercogliano there were even death threats. āThere was group called Jihad Against Barney,ā he said. He feels that Barney stood for āinclusion, understanding, compassion, caring for each other.ā

Omgggg
As an autistic child born in the early 2000s, I grew watching Barney and other kids shows at the time. I'm aware that there were people who didn't like Barney, especially those that made grounded videos out of him on GoAnimate (I'm a GoAnimator BTW). While people may not be fans of Barney, sending hate and death threats to anyone involved with the show is inexcusable. I feel bad for the voice actor who had to deal with stuff like this.
Why would any one do that Barney is the greatest kids tv show ever the voice actor should be a legend
I hate Barney
Idk why people were so heated over a damn dinosaur that sings about manners, being a good person and PB&J sandwiches…
I remember the "let's get together and kill Barney" jokes that some kids made. Looking back it was pretty stupid
All Barney did was teach us to love. But I think it was the song and not Barney that drove people insane like baby shark.
Stop hating on children stuff
Misinformation is a fools comfort. The person who started this hate group could only of gotten others to follow them by deception.
I do not like that thing a a purple dinosaur yeah I'm not going to sleep tonight
š
I know this is serious but bob west and Duncan both did voices for Chuck E. Cheese Duncan 19 years bob west I believe 6 yeas
BARNY I LOVE YOU
Well "Barney" should've watched his mouth while on the air then. Dude literally dropped an F-Bomb on his own show, how is he gonna NOT expect parents to be angry???
Funny I still got vhs tapes of barney xD
Death to Smoochy!
God I hate that dinosaur….I didn't start the group but I remember laughing when I first heard about it.
Only in ohio
This Barney is retarded I agree with the death threats
i used seen it but i never liked :/
Pov you watch daily dose of internet
POV Barney gets death threats from Godzilla
What did Barney do to you ššš
Little kids on twitter will do anything to get who they donāt like off the face of the internet š©š©š©š©
I wish we did the opposite of death threats, just find random people and doxx them with ādonāt kysā
"I didn't like this show I should kill the actor!"
How about if you dislike or even hate something… keep it to yourself and move on with your life?
like barney like evil
My old school does this thingy, I hate you, you hate me, letās go out and kill Barney, with a big shotgun aim it at his head, no more purple dinosour
I'd rather like Barney that woke people.
Rip š¢
I watch Barney long time ago and I grew up out of it and this is my favorite childhood memory of this show and now itās a threat and someone is ruining my childhood memories of this show and Iām crying š¢. Iām scared
I hate barney too but sending death threats to bob west is too far.
I still watch Barney an i'm 13
great is your reward in heaven:Ā for so persecutedĀ they the prophets which were before you.
Us Barneyists have experienced a lot of oppression, but we shall rise again, stronger than ever before
I can imagine Brad Swaile as Jin and Light from Tekken and Death Note teaming up together for once to know more about the crimes of the Barney Haters, alongside with Sam Riegel as Phoenix Wright.
Jesus ā¤ you!
Be kind to one another, tenderhearted,
forgiving one another as God in Christ, forgave you
-Ephesians 4:32 (ESV)
my barney sus oh no
Thereās this one song that goes I love you you love me letās go out and kill Barney with a big shotgun and barneyās on the floor no more purple dinosaur and I hate that song
This is so sad it reminded me of watching the documentary I want to be my neighbor were they send Mr. Rogers wasnāt like my some people and they were protesting outside his funeral.
Now I dislike barney because he does harmful acts.
How dare i get Death Theats:(
Loved Barney growing up it was very positive
Leave Barney alone.
It's strange for me. I dislike Barney as a character. Barney has always come across as "overly" innocent and babyish, things like that come across to me in an off-putting and negative way. That's where the irritation comes in for adults, I think. But at the end of the day, it's not meant to be for adults, it's meant for young children, and that's what makes all the difference. It's meant to be a purely wholesome show for young children. And above all else, there is nothing that justifies targeting actual people. We shouldn't have to tell grown adults that Barney's voice actor doesn't deserve to be given death threats because his character is too babyish.
Don't let those people get to you barney is awsome
