- alphadevx 9y agoI don't need to prove anything, simple watching a few episodes is sufficient evidence. Or try reading any of these to see I am not alone in this view: https://duckduckgo.com/?q=peppa+pig+sexist&t=hf&ia=web https://duckduckgo.com/?q=peppa+pig+sexist&t=hf&ia=web
- zaarn 9y agoIf you make an assertion contrary to mainstream belief, you need to prove it, plain and simple. Posting a search engine result page is not sufficient, I can do the same to "prove" 9/11 was a conspiracy to enable GMO chemtrails.
- alphadevx 9y agoSee my examples below then. Immediately being confronted with "prove it/provide links" responses to a stated opinion, based on personal experience of watching the show in question, is not very helpful either.
- zaarn 9y agoYou have made fact statements, not stated opinions, in addition to not providing any foundation to base those on which would be required by others regardless. If I say "Show X is bad" then people will expect of me to back up this opinion somehow. This can be as easy as citing examples of why but not by handwaving as "I watched it and thought it was bad". Example; I think Steven Universe is a bad show. I've watched it through to Season 2 yet I found it lacking in character attachment and depth, meanwhile the animation and storytelling was quite good. Overall I did enjoy it but not enough to keep consuming it. That is how you should have approached this so people would not jump on you. You can explain it but lacking any explanation people will demand it.
- alphadevx 9y ago> You have made fact statements, not stated opinions, in addition to not providing any foundation to base those on which would be required by others regardless. Read my response below to another poster.
- zaarn 9y agoI've read it previously to writing my last reply but it doesn't change your previous behavior in any way.
- alphadevx 9y agoFine, consider myself suitable policed for my bad behavior of "having an opinion about a kids TV show". Good job.
- deadmetheny 9y agoYou're aware you're getting up in arms about citing sources over a show for two year olds, right?
- zaarn 9y agoAnd? I do not treat this any differently because "It's just a kids show man!" especially considering the contents of the discussion.
- vixen99 9y agoI.e., can you give some examples which illustrate your point?
- alphadevx 9y agoOk some examples: 1. Daddy pig is portrayed as an idiot. In fact, there are no positive male figures in the whole show. Check sexism. 2. All of the animals are married to animals of the same type: there are no "inter-racial" marriages. It is also full of racial stereotypes. Check racism 3. The only person in the show who seems to work, Mrs Rabbit, has several jobs that she does badly (perhaps due to exhaustion) and speaks with a working class English accent (while all of the other characters have upper/middle class accents). Check classism. 4. It heavily promotes the British royal family, especially in the recent movie. Check elitism. Unless you want to fill your kids full of prejudice from an early age, avoid.
- jon-wood 9y agoI feel silly nitpicking critiques of Peppa Pig, but it's Miss Rabbit who has to work constantly to sustain herself. Mrs Rabbit (her twin sister) lives in a comfortable heteronomative relationship with Mr Rabbit, who works to support both her and their many children.
- jamespo 9y agoRe: point 1 - George is a polymath who immediately masters anything he turns his hand to
- pmyteh 9y agoDoctor Brown Bear is a positive male role model, TFA notwithstanding. As is Granddad Dog, IMO. And there are other workers who are less of the exploited proletariat than Miss Rabbit - Daddy Pig works as some kind of architect/structural engineer, Madam Gazelle runs the playgroup and so on. But yes, its class relations in particular is dodgy. Not as bad as Thomas the Tank Engine, though. Don't get me started on that.

- psergeant 9y agoI hear the “Spiders are our friends!” episode travels poorly to other countries, and is banned in Australia.
- NationOfJoe 9y agoI can confirm this is true. The episode was banned by abc but was still shown on Australian Netflix. It is generally not a good idea to befriend a spider in Australia unless you know the exact species, even then it is generally best just to give them their space.
- isostatic 9y agoPeppa is a spoilt brat
- jon-wood 9y agoThe one that particularly grates on me is the relentless hounding of Daddy Pig, particularly about his weight. Mummy Pig is often the instigator of this, despite it clearly upsetting her husband and teaching her children that it's ok to shame people about their body. (Also, relative to the other pigs on the program, Daddy Pig isn't even that large). Miss Rabbit is a prime example of the perils of zero hours contracts, she's constantly having to find new jobs, and often trying to hold down multiple jobs at the same time.
- isfield 9y agoThe constant use of "silly daddy". The show seems to attack the father figure whilst making the mother figure seem always right (in my personal opinion). Mummy pig is overweight too, nothing gets said about that though. It feels like a reverse gender bias in that show.
- bencollier49 9y agoIt's an awful show. The worst part is the anti-intellectualism where the young boy who knows things is immediately dismissed as a "clever clogs" every time he opens his mouth.
- DanBC 9y agoChildren not wearing seat belts in cars and not wearing bike helmets are two. (These have now been corrected).
