So there was an r/dinosaurs thread (now deleted) where people where airing grievances about the design of Trish from Goodbye Volcano High
People were saying how it's a terrible design for a Triceratops without specifying what makes it bad, and there was one or two comments that said her design looked "LGBT" without specifying what that meant or why that would be a bad design element
I don't mind Trish's design or really any of the Goodbye Volcano High character designs. A good character design should fit the story and the character, and Trish is a girl who attends high school and hangs out with her friends and plays guitar. And her design seems to fit those things very well
But all this talk about anthropomorphic dinosaurs got me thinking if there were any other examples to compare her to. And I could only think of two examples of anthropomorphic Triceratops that wear clothes
B.P. Richfield from Jim Henson's Dinosaurs (identified as a Triceratops in the show but the frill looks like Styracosaurus, another ceratopsian)
And Craig from Dinosaur Office (seen here wearing a sweater from the Thanksgiving episode, though most episodes he wears a collar and tie only)
And while both these characters are rounder and more spiky-looking than Trish, they are also both men with office jobs who are well beyond their high school years.

They should reboot Barney not because it was an amazing show or anything but because that combination of purple and green is Very appealing to me personally, and I think that our modern technology could make him cute. Really cute. Because the original design is kinda weird.
Do not make it an animated show btw. Keep Barney as some guy in a costume. Keep that awkward magic for kids of the next generation.
Btw. Barney hate is out. Barney haters are cringe. Liking Barney is counter culture. Not as a show because again it is not fun to watch as an adult but, as an icon. As an entity. As an SCP. A beast. There was enough hate back in the day for no discernable reason- Peace and love on Planet Barney. Retribution for Barney.
