Blue Dog Cartoon Gets “Fat-Shaming” Scene Cut Out

Tens of millions of mostly fat women around the world could not live with the idea that a cartoon about a blue dog that they don’t even watch has a scene that is “fat-shaming.”

And they got their way.

Why do we tolerate this?

CNN:

A recent episode of the hit children’s TV show “Bluey” has been edited after its original version sparked accusations of fat-shaming.

The episode “Exercise,” first broadcast last month, no longer shows a bathroom scene in which Bluey’s parents weigh themselves in front of their children.

“​​The recent episode of Bluey, Exercise, has been republished by the ABC following a decision by the makers of the program,” a statement from the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC) said Friday.

The opening scene initially showed Bandit, Bluey’s father, weighing himself in the morning and sighing: “Oh man…I just need to do some exercise.”

“Tell me about it,” Chilli, Bluey’s mother, said after walking in, before weighing herself to the same reaction.

Bandit is seen sighing and clutching his midriff in disappointment, before Bluey asks: “Why don’t you just do some exercise?”

The scene has been removed, with the episode now starting with Bandit doing some exercise in the backyard alongside children Bluey and Bingo, who turn it into a game, according to the ABC.

The ABC said: “(This) new version provides families with the opportunity to manage important conversations in their own way.

“As the home of Bluey, the ABC supports the decision to re-edit the program and we have updated the episode on our platforms.”

Australian pediatric dietician Kyla Smith, who initially voiced discomfort on social media at Bandit and Chilli “openly hat(ing) their own bodies in front of the kids,” thanked the makers in a recent Facebook post, saying this is a ‘huge step forward for everyone.”

Women rule everything.

The biggest problem with this is that they have no ability to conceive of fairness or justice, and they cannot process information logically.

We need to reconsider the matriarchy.

It has failed.

Why does this thing have the right to vote?
