Bluey cartoon edited for fat shaming

Bluey, the Emmy-winning kids’ show is at the center of controversy after the ABC and BBC Studios edited an episode to address concerns about fat shaming.

The Season 3 episode, is called ‘Exercise,’ and featured Bluey’s father going on a diet after he stands on the bathroom scale and grabs his belly.
