Wait till you hear about the time they cast some black people in Lord of the Rings.

except you won't because negative comments were hidden, so yeah that's another example of over-representation, elves and hobbits did not go to africa and bring back slaves then feel bad about it and keep it hush hush.

How is it over representation? Is the show all the way you dont want (gay) or just a little be bit? Are all couples on TV now same sex or just a few like in real life?

This is as bad as those that complained there were too many black or mixed race couples in adverts. What happened to all those people?

I already gave some numbers to illustrate the over representation, so that part of your question was already answered imo.

They have gone too far with wokewashing in adverts imo because the UK is still majority white you're surely better off targeting white people (waiting on the Census results to see the change over time). They re-use the adverts though, so I can understand them recording something they can dub over that makes sense in various markets.

You need to get out of your small village. London is pretty much like most adverts and now cartoons. It isnt so much about targeting it is just normal.

Londons the only thing that exists clearly.

I wish putin would hurry up and nuke it, rest of the UK would celebrate

Ah there they are.

The show has been running for 18 years, they add a same sex couple for the first time in nearly two decades and all of a sudden people complain about over representation lol

That's some American article and it looks at a casual glance to be dated 2006. I see no mention of whether kids in homosexual families show a propensity to develop homosexual tendencies themselves.

Moving goal posts...
Didnt even read it but forming an opinion. Just face it you don't care about evidence just how you feel.

great why don't they add some hong kong families? afghanistan? do they have migrants on the show? why not add boats of pigs coming from another country, gangs of youths attacking people? why isn't everyone represented? is it because they are cherry picking who they include? seems incredibly racist

must be millions of people from Asia that feel left out of our society when it's only white, black and bradford represented on TV

There are goats, sheep, foxes, pigs, all sorts. Its a very representative show.

potatolord · 8 Sep 2022 at 16:37

Are there any inter-species families?

That may be a step too far, even for the barmy Brussels bureaucrats of the BBC.

are there any males who arent fat oafs in the show? I think the dad might be loosely based on Bojo

Daddy Pig is far too cool to be based on Bojo

I think it could be the basis of a nice plot: Mrs mouse living in fear of domestic violence from her husband Felix Cat.

Or maybe Peppa goes swimming with Mr Frog and Mrs Scorpion, with hilarious results. To be fair, their kids would be ugly.

fez · 8 Sep 2022 at 17:08

Whats funny about all this is that children of that age simply don't give a single ****.

The only thing they learn from Peppa Pig is how to be a sassy little oik.

They don't have deep thoughts about the absence of things in a scene. They don't ask mummy and daddy (sorry, their parents) why there isn't someone from Mongolia in Peppa Pig. If they thought that deeply about it they might realise that pigs don't really talk :eek:

Go for it, I doubt the kids will care one bit and as usual the only people getting upset will be the most relentlessly dull members of society.

Sasahara · 9 Sep 2022 at 19:38

I'm pretty disgusted tbh, misleading kiddies about polar bear relationships.

What is should be is a single mum bear on benefits, scraping a living and relying on food banks to feed the sproggs.

The dad having buggered off months ago, looking for another mummy bear to have fun with and bump off any sprogs she may have.
