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.

Steel was on the Cbeebies panto this year in his costume.
He was really good too- proper got into the swing of things, singing and dancing.

I really love the Gladiators and I'm chuffed to bits that my 4 year old DS enjoys watching and cheers for everyone. His favourite is Fire.

1 - She isn't half naked. She is wearing her Gladiators costume which is just standard workout gear.

2 - What does the ethnicity of the doctors have to do with anything? How many other twin doctors called Raph & Dan are there, that you felt the need to add this detail to differentiate between them..?

IDontDrinkTea · 03/03/2025 15:58

Not at all concerned about her outfit. More concerned at your casual racism. Why is the ethnicity of the twin doctors relevant to this conversation at all?!

Perhaps he should have worn something more supportive...

I assume you wear less than this on the beach @FancyMauveDreamer? I do and I'm older.

Professional runners wear less. Professional gymnastics have leotards that barely cover their genitalia. This outfit is pretty tame.

Plus, even if it was skimpier, does it matter? We all have a body.

I think the issue is more about why you find it offensive? My DS wouldn't look at this costume twice.

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.

More skimpy! Some of the female runners are basically in pant's and a bra!

Please don't take your kids to the beach....

Shessweetbutapsycho · 03/03/2025 16:12

Why reference the ethnicity of the doctors (which has zero to do with your bigoted views of female athletes’ attire by the way)…?

Crazycatlady79 · 03/03/2025 16:12

Half-naked?! Jesus wept. She's not exactly in a g-string and cleavage accentuating top.
🌵🌵🌵

Wavescrashingonthebeach · 03/03/2025 16:12

She looks absolutely amazing- strong and healthy!!!

Reddog1 · 03/03/2025 16:16

When my kids were growing up the “pipe cleaner with plastic breasts” look was fashionable. This is soooo much healthier.

Eightdayz · 03/03/2025 16:17

You're really getting worked up over this? Really?

Why does silly season feel like it's happening EVERY SINGLE DAY on mn lately

littleluncheon · 03/03/2025 16:19

Surely not black doctors? On CBBC! What is the world coming to.

ZoeCM · 03/03/2025 16:19

She's not half-naked, FFS! I agree with the posters who say the Gladiators are much better role models than TikTokers.

AnxiouslyAwaitingSpring · 03/03/2025 16:21

I 100% agree OP but you won’t get much agreement on here. It's the current trend to dress inappropriately in all aspects of life. Last year we had a mum picking up her kids in hot pants and a sports bra! Another sent her twin 9yr old girls to a party in the same! 9yr old girls in hotpants & a sports bra! Just wrong

To be fair that's not what OP said. You're twisting her words there massively

No she’s not, why on earth has she mentioned that they’re black? It has nothing to do with her point. Dreadful and v unreasonable!

LittleMG · 03/03/2025 16:23

Everything about this post offends me

couchparsnip · 03/03/2025 16:23

Are you for real? Surely you knew how this would go.

lifeonmars100 · 03/03/2025 16:28

She's not wearing a low cut cleavage enhancing push up bra and a thong! Seems perfectly decently covered to me

fancyfrogs · 03/03/2025 16:30

Good grief
To go with a MN fave... give your head a wobble

maybe it is a BOGOF of judgment and prejudice
