Actually not sure if this is a TAAT and will be not allowed, but I am perplexed by the apologists on this thread.

Women who object to a pixelated penis on a family show, have been called Puritans, Mary Whitehouse, pearl clutches, even a 'Karen' in there - you know, all the usual tropes when women are trying to protect their own boundaries and more importantly, the boundaries of children.

I have found it absolutely infuriating.

A lot of support, but also a lot of women minimising this shit.

It feels to me like attention seeking and a dominance display, forcing themself on our notice. It's the equivalent of that threatening head jerk when you walk past someone and they try and make you jump.

@OldTurtleNewShell

Someone waggling their genitals, pixilated or not, has no place on a TV show that's aimed at children I can't believe I have to say that.

Quite.

Yep, read the thread earlier & found some of the responses so grim. Bit jaw dropping how utterly naive and shortsighted some of the posters are about the pushing of boundaries & erosion of safeguarding generally.
And throw in the usual claims of being a 'prude' etc etc if you don't clap your hands and say it's all good, harmless fun that, according to a couple of posters, actually educates kids!? WTF?
You made some really excellent comments on it OP.

I see it as the media trying to normalise and legitimise flashing.
That as far as I am concerned, is a very slippery slope to be going down.

There is nothing wrong with nudity.

But there is a time and a place and I would no more want to see someone posing like that on television than I would want to see someone sitting like than on the bus. I am certain I wouldn’t want that in front of my young relatives.

And I’ve no pearls to clutch.
But whatever that programme is, they want to think on.

Any loophole in a storm by the look of it. Turn off and a turn off for that show.

I remember many years ago, when my dd was twelve, there was a Tom Cruise film on telly advertised as family viewing and it was about young Tom turning his house into a brothel and using his teenage female friends as prostitutes. That was not the idea of sex that I wanted my twelve year old to have, funnily enough. It is not about prudery, it is wanting them to grow up with a healthy idea of sex

The results of the poll support the poster. I think part of the problem was the poster's writing style ("fun family entertainment" and unnecessary exclamation marks)

Many of the replies support the poster although the posts against her are a full bingo card of trite, hackneyed, mindless phrases posted by posters thinking they're being so original and witty. And the usual crew who can't distinguish between a beach and every other situation which isn't a beach. They are embarrassing.

I would be uncomfortable if it happened in person so not ok on a programme of that sort.

Surely it is flashing, an offence? It wasn't pixilated for the camera operator, or the editor. It is perverse to flash your dick around. Using your dick as a comedy prop is distasteful amongst adults. It is perverse amongst families.

you're right it's weird and grim and you shouldn't be made to feel in the wrong for feeling like that

I can cope with the tiny little picture above. But my children seeing that on a huge HD TV...

I saw it too; so did my 7 year old. Totally unnecessary.
