there's multiple reasons why people didn't/don't like barney
1. he was annoying even by children show standards
2. his design was a tad bit off putting, like it's not just the teeth but it's also the eyes and the smoothness of the suit that look kinda jarring
3. he really didn't teach much of anything outside of kindness/the lessons he was teaching were very dated even at the time of airing
4. the way the show is presented is very much extremely infantile rather then actually wanting to help them learn, even small children could smell the bullshit from a mile away
I think the biggest issue with barney is that it really was just a shameless product Ie "BE HAPPY HAVE HAPPY THOUGHTS DON'T THINK JUST COSUME BUY THE TOY BUY THE CD" unlike say, sesame street that didn't shy away from negative things and instead taught kids how to deal with those feelings in a much more healthy way (though sesame street is a shameless cash grab these days)
