Animation =/= for kids

I'm with you on the rest, but swearing never hurt anyone and continuing to pretend otherwise in 2024 is some 1980s Satanic Panic sized bullshit.

It's still probably not best to not model disrespectful and irreverent language to impressionable kids until they learn the social skills of when it is and isn't appropriate. I don't want Bluey to tell her dad to "Fuck off wanker"
- disrespectful and irreverent language
  
  No word (other than hate speech) is inherently disrespectful. Disrespect comes from context, not vocabulary.
  
  As for being irreverent, that's almost always a positive since being overly reverent is a toxic symptom of authoritarianism.

  Depending on context and tone, that could be completely fine.
- Prepared to get downvoted my friend, according to some lemmings, you should have atleast 1 swear word every sentence, and if you say otherwise you are violating ‘freedom of speech’
Well you don’t want kids always swearing left right and center either, I don’t know to how much extent banning videos with f words for kids help but I (no joke) never heard of any (big) swear words by my parents or on my phone, and it does help me in formal situations unlike some of my friends, No one is gonna call you out for dropping a mother F bomb in front of a professor but it’s definitely not ideal.

  Yeah I do. That would be much better than needlessly censoring the free expression of them and others based on 1950s notions of propriety 🤷
- Kids should be taught the difference between swearing and disrespectful swearing. My parents brought me up to never swear, even though I eventually learned the words and not to swear around them. It's inevitable that kids will learn swear words but if you completely ignore the problem as a parent, that's how rampant and disrespectful swearing starts.
- I didn't swear when I was young but I was certainly exposed to it. And believe it or not I can code switch seemlessly at work. People who know me personally would be so surprised to hear it.
