Interested in other people's thoughts.

Interesting mix so far!

I instantly saw the association to "bunny girls" when I saw it.

I also googled the playboy logo as wondered if that was what was triggering the association and agree they're not the same, but as a PP has said, it's the bunny ears.

Appreciate bunnies are obviously a common thing for kids, but it's the fact it's just the ears, which are a common feature in sexually provocative costumes.

Just my reaction though!

You think they've made a porn top for children? Really? Are bunny ears not okay for children any more?

It's a t shirt with an easter theme, that you can buy or not buy.

Beginning to hate the word "appropriate". Girls don't have to dress to suit anyone's tastes but their own.

@Bfmamma “Everybody be cool, this is a robbery!” 😅😅

Looks nothing like the playboy logo and honey bunny is just like sweet pea, it’s a sweet name nothing filthy.

Darksideofvebus · 08/05/2025 21:34

Most people wouldn't get the reference, I'm old and didn't!

Supporthelittleguys · 08/05/2025 21:33

Yeah it’s tacky and a bit sexualising. I deffo wouldn’t buy it for my 5yo 🥴 saying that I remember aged 12 having a friend with a ‘von Dutch bitch’ t shirt and another that said ‘if you think I’m a bitch you should meet my mother.’ 😂 can’t believe her mum allowed that!

Playboy logo for reference.

Not similar then or is anything with two bunny ears too much like playboy?

Bfmamma · 08/05/2025 21:32

I would normally not take much notice and walk past it but I guess the issue is more that honey bunny is a twee pet name for a partner.
I wouldn't say it's hinting towards playboy though
@AlrightTroubleim getting pulp fiction too 🤣

Exactly, that looks nothing like the logo on the t-shirt!

I think the Playboy bunny is very ‘of an era’ and most younger people wouldn’t associate with that now.

The bunny ears with one bent over is very similar to the playboy logo. Their models were called playboy bunnies, so I can see why it could be considered distasteful.

Show quote history

It’s nothing like the playboy bunny logo though. 🫤

Yuck. The worst I ever seen for wee girls was " Future WAG".

Apart from the obvious grimness, why is a single individual aspiring to be both a wife AND a girlfriend?!

Howmuchlongeruntilwegetthere · 08/05/2025 21:28

I wouldn’t buy it - I associate bunny ear logos with playboy. Evidently people do buy it or they wouldn’t stock it. Each to their own. It’s not even close to the worst girls t shirts I’ve seen.

Newyearnewmewoooop · 08/05/2025 21:28

It’s cute!

IfYouPutASausageInItItsNotAViennetta · 08/05/2025 21:28

It's not the Playboy bunny or anything, is it? Yes, it's a bit twee; but how is it inappropriate? Am I missing something?

ArtTheClownIsNotAMime · 08/05/2025 21:28

I had a Playboy bunny pencilcase in year 7. I thought it was cute. Now I think it's creepy af that Playboy stuff is marketed to children.

AlrightTrouble · 08/05/2025 21:28

Oh! Did not get the Playboy reference at all. 😅

Wolfpa · 08/05/2025 21:28

People may be associating it with the Playboy Bunnies but that is very much in the eye of the beholder.

Personally I think it if just an Easter top

AlrightTrouble · 08/05/2025 21:27

I mean, I’m getting a slight Pulp Fiction reference but I’m middle aged as fuck, beyond that I don’t think it’s all that bad?

BritBratGrot · 08/05/2025 21:27

It's quite clearly designed to look playboy bunny esque is style so IMO OP YANBU

MindfulAndDemure · 08/05/2025 21:27

SkibbityBap · 08/05/2025 21:20

Isn't it just an easter/spring tshirt?

Am I missing something?

Atarin · 08/05/2025 21:26

Oh dear, I call my children ‘honey bunny’! I didn’t realise it was wrong!!

SeeMyReflection · 08/05/2025 21:26

What does it mean that’s an issue? It’s means similar to sweetheart where I’m from.
