Half-naked woman on CBBC Operation Ouch!

AIBU to feel it’s inappropriate to have “Dynamite”, who is a skimpily-dressed gladiator on a kids’ show?

She appears on segments of the new series, IMO flirting with the handsome twin Black doctors, Raph and Dan, calling them “boys”. It just seemed sexualised to me.

I’ve attached a picture of her, this is how she dresses on the show.

She looks super fit, not half naked

Blubbles · 03/03/2025 20:53

She looks incredible.

An athlete. Someone who has put a lot of time and effort into their body and fitness.

An athlete wearing practical athlete clothing.

Off to find pics of the sexy doctors now misses point of post

Yes could you provide a link please I wouldn't mind a gander :)

Bizjustgotreal · 03/03/2025 18:30

Is that you, Mary?

RaveToTheGrave1 · 03/03/2025 17:55

Prude, women wear these for gym, wrestling, jogging, fashion 😂

Floppyflippers · 03/03/2025 17:44

Yeah. Dirty tramp. She has titties under there, for heaven's sake. Best borrow a burqa, a giant bin bag or wrap her in a duvet. Might be a bit difficult to do the job she's been hired for but what else can you do with us dirty dirty girlies.

For the avoidance of doubt, yes, I'm taking the piss.

Fargo79 · 03/03/2025 14:54

She just looks like an athlete. Cannot see an issue with this.
Can't comment on the "flirting" as I've not seen it. Was there anything more than just calling the doctors "boys"? That doesn't sound remotely sexual to me.

Agreed

thehorsesareallidiots · 03/03/2025 17:33

Has someone cast an evil spell and reanimated Mary Whitehouse? What's with all the extreme prudery on here lately?

Squirre · 03/03/2025 17:30

Well she's not half naked so my guess is she's probably not flirting either...

insomniacalways · 03/03/2025 17:21

I've just watched it she is ace - strong and capable. Lots of schools have Gladiators come in to visit and they wear their costumes - it is what the kids expect .

I think I have 😅😂
Wasn’t expecting this many comments in the time it took me to do laundry, pick up a bottle of milk and do the school run haha.

This is my first ever thread though, so not sure what other thread you’re referring to.

I’ve never been disturbed by the Olympics etc, I think I just felt this was a bit out of place on that show and the way she was interacting with the sexy doctors (and maybe I am a bit jealous)

I love that you have a sense of humour!

ZookeeperSE · 03/03/2025 17:21

Hmmm, so a show has an athlete and Doctors, just doing their jobs, and you think it’s a bit much because they’re ‘sexualised’ and ‘sexy’. At some point you’re going to have to consider that maybe it’s you that has a problem and not them.

(oops editing to say this was supposed to be jokey OP but just realised it doesn’t sound like it sorry 🫣)

SporadicMincePieMuncher · 03/03/2025 17:19

I have a problem with what female olympic athletes are told they must wear, but until that changes I can't really have a problem with this.

If anything it's nice to see a woman with a strong healthy female body as a role model. Those thighs are for strength, and she's not hiding them because society would happily tell her that "Thick Thighs" are wrong but fuck em, she could just bench press anybody who told her that 😁I'd love my kids to grow up watching her kick ass instead of dressing their barbies in high heels to be honest.

peachgreen · 03/03/2025 17:15

DD (7) fancies the (shiny lycra) pants off Dynamite, although she doesn't quite realise that's what she's feeling yet. It's ADORABLE.

Didn’t you try and post this 3 days ago OP bit you accidentally posted on a Trump thread rather than your own thread? What took you so long to make your own post?

Yes I did! I’m new to this site and thought I’d done a new post. Took me 3 days to realise it was on someone else’s post. I thought my post didn’t get approved or nobody bothered to comment haha

I haven't seen this iteration of Operation Ouch but I assume the 'sexy doctors' are there because they are doctors, not because of how they look.
Similarly, a gladiator is an athlete, so wearing athletic clothes is part of the job spec.
I only see one person her sexualising people doing their jobs calling them sexy and skimpily dressed.
