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.

Whatever you do op don’t take your kids swimming! 😱

YAB ridiculous!

She looks like an athlete in (shiny) gym clothes. Doesn't look sexualised to me.

I've reported this filth OP

She’s a strong athletic woman on a show teaching kids about the human body. I think it’s great.

I wouldn’t call that “skimpily clad” either. The leotards in the original show were way more revealing. That just looks like sport/swimwear.

She looks like a strong, healthy young woman wearing Gladiator attire.

Please don't sexualise women's bodies.

ModernLife1sRubbish · 03/03/2025 14:58

She looks fine! It's what she wears on Gladiators of a Saturday evening. For goodness sake, don't ever let your kids watch the Olympics, the athletes are dressed in equally 'skimpy' clothes.

LuckysDadsHat · 03/03/2025 14:57

YABVU. Stop being a prude. She is in athletic clothes. The gladiators are made to wear their costumes at all public events and tv appearances like this. It's all about the branding and getting the show out there.

Meecrowahvey · 03/03/2025 14:56

Just looks like a very strong woman in sports wear.

I don't look at that picture and see her as sexualised. I see a strong and athletic female body.

Gymrabbit · 03/03/2025 14:55

You know the gladiators have a whole show on CBBC where they wear those costumes and do pranks.
don’t watch it or you might explode!

the handsome twin Black doctors

lol

FeministUnderTheCatriarchy · 03/03/2025 14:54

She is a strong, healthy young woman wearing similar attire to that of many Olympic athletes

The way she is dressed is fine imo.

I haven't seen it to speak of the flirting though.

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.
