  1. The audacity.

    I am disgusted by this. Imagine showing kids that pigs can own a home, a car and live a comfortable lifestyle while the kids themselves will probably never be able to.

  2. See some Down voted (at the start), do people really care these days?

    I find it funny as in plenty of classes at our school there are same sex parents now, the kids literally don’t give a crap.

    I’m really feeling like the mass of culture war hate is dying out, they will always have lost people, but the large support of boomers is slowly ebbing away over time

  3. The only surprising thing is that it’s taken until 2022 for this to happen.

    And for the ‘just let kids be kids’ brigade – there are already several hetero couples in the show, and that hasn’t corrupted the little ones, so there’s absolutely no reason to think a gay couple would. If you think otherwise, you’re homophobic, it’s as simple as that.

  4. *Peppa Pig* airs on Channel 5 in the UK, but I suppose any social media discussion has to find some way to make everything about Laura Kuenssberg or Jimmy Savile

  5. It’s a little kids show for toddlers, for fuck sake…

    ‘Member when little kids shows used to be about, you know, mindless entertainment for little tots and toddlers? Something to distract them while the parents can get on with doing some household chores in peace for 15mins?

    What’s with the needless insertion of sexuality and identity politics into it? There’s no need for it at all. The only thing it’s for is so the makers of the show can smugly say to the parents, “Check out my political ideology! Aren’t are just the most progressive and woke human being on the planet? Yeah, that’s right, I’m pretty hot shit *smarmy smug self-fart-sniffing smile*”

  6. It would be nice if they extend thos in future to include two dads also. I feel lesbian relationships having children is much more accepted these days than the stigma surrounding two men bringing up children.
