User blog:Malchior712/Pixies...Really?

Okay, I know that as a fan, I should love everything about the Winx Club Series, and I do...with one exception: THE PIXIES! Seriously, they're completely irrelevant to the storyline, their lines could easily be delivered by other characters, and--the way I see it--they were only created in a shameless attempt to manufacture and sell more toys. I know that this show is generally regarded as a "little girls" show, and I've done my best to ignore the irritating asides and bits of cheesy dialogue created to attract a certain demographic in the spirit of the fantastic design and intriguing character dynamics that drew me to this show five years ago, but additions like the Pixies make it SO much harder to do so.

So I'd like to hear your opinions. What do YOU think of the Pixies? (And if you don't mind, let me know your gender and age when you post a reply, just so I know where the overall opinions lie in the population.)
