Producers of the popular Australian cartoon Bluey have removed a scene from a recent episode amid pressure over alleged “fat-shaming.”
The show depicts the life of Bluey, an anthropomorphic six-year-old Blue Heeler puppy who lives with her father, Bandit, mother, Chilli, and younger sister, Bingo. Each character represents a dog breed. The show, which aims at nursery-age children, focuses on family life and Bluey’s growing up in the Australian culture.
