What's With the Wesley Hate?
I watched TNG from beginning to end and throughout it tried to see anything to be critical of about Wesley and couldn't find anything. What's the big deal?

It's the perky brilliant kid mascot trope. It is a tired and fucked-out trope since about 1971. That's why the hate.
I can smell him right through the screen. What's it from?
can you give any references to this “trope” and it being “tired” by the time TNG first aired? Just curious what other shows had young brainiacs that so angered audiences to the point that they were fed up with the whole idea by TNG’s premiere.
