ABC caves to body positivity wokness
May 5^th, 2023 at 3:00pm

So now even acknowledging excesses bodyfat is unhealthy is too much for the snowflakes

The episode, titled Exercise, aired on April 16 and depicted Bluey’s parents, Bandit and Chilli weighing themselves on a set of scales. After seeing how much he weighs, Bandit, Bluey’s dad, sighs and grabs his stomach, then embarks on a new exercise regimen.

ABC supports Bluey producers after they cave in to pressure
from viewers over controversial 'fat-shaming' episode

By A. James For Daily Mail Australia

Published: 14:18 AEST, 5 May 2023

The ABC has agreed to re-cut a controversial episode of the kids show Bluey following pressure from viewers.

The beloved animated series about a family of dogs landed in hot water with fans last month over a 'fat shaming' scene.

And the offending moment, only seconds long, has now been altered by the show's producers, Ludo Studios, with the support of the national broadcaster reports TV Blackbox.

The controversy centred around the episode Exercise, in which Bluey's dad, Bandit decided he needed to get fit, after complaining about his expanding stomach.

Some parents were left disappointed by what they saw as 'toxic' messaging.

Critics of the scene said it created anxiety over body image rather than the health benefits of exercise.

Meanwhile, an ABC spokesperson said: 'The 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.'

Smoking is a better comparison as obesity and smoking are both self inflicted whereas cancer is not. Aaaand!! Obesity comes out as bad or worse than smoking.

I think we need a Snowflake section/board. Cry

She got her arse filled full of silicone with a brazilian butt lift.

All because of being married to a black bloke ... that wanker Kanye West.

And you know black man like big booty .... you know baby got back?

And they named their children - North West (a direction), Saint West, Chicago West( a suburb? Grin

) and Psalm West.

FFS ... they both should have been neutered.
