    While “Flanderization” is named after Ned Flanders, it doesn’t refer to making a character more like Flanders specifically. It refers more generally to oversimplifying a character to a lazy stereotype, losing any depth or complexity. In the case of Patrick Star, it’s referring to him changing from being just a bit simple-minded to being an absolute moron.
