Quite a few of those drew an eye-roll from me. https://www.fatherly.com/entertainment/banned-censored-bluey-episodes https://www.fatherly.com/entertainment/banned-censored-bluey... A couple of them I can understand (like being safe, not showing kids to slide on a wet tile floor), some I can see parents being appreciative for not having to answer questions about certain topics --- but some "edits" like cutting out farting seems a bit too over the top. My preschooler has just discovered farting and thinks it is _hilarious_ (because it is!). I'm proud as can be, but Mom just rolls her eyes. Proud dad here.

I find it sad that even showing kids sliding on the wet tile floor is edited for "being safe" - let them learn why its a bad thing to do in the security of home!

It's ironic that they pulled an episode for using a term that is offensive to indigenous Australians and "fixed" it by releasing a version where the phrase was replaced with a racial slur for Italian people

  Interesting.. I've always associated "ooga booga" with cavemen or proto-humans; didn't realize there were racial connotations

    As a 60 year old Australian that's heard pretty much every insult thrown at Aboriginals I'd say that's more of a recent "some cities" kind of thing. Aboriginal players of Aussie Rules football had to put up with a lot of abuse from some few members of the crowd making monkey noises and shouting "ape man" and stuff along those lines .. I'm guessing the "ooga booga" comes from idiots chanting that from the cheap seats. Adam Goodes coped the worst of it for calling them out. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Australian_Dream_(2019_film) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Australian_Dream_(2019_fil... https://thefinalquarterfilm.com.au/ https://thefinalquarterfilm.com.au/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j3OJ0kzSXQE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j3OJ0kzSXQE There are worse insults, but none of them are good.

Rather ironic that the article itself is arguably censored. I shouldn’t have to click a link to another article and read five paragraphs before finding out what the “racially-insensitive term” is.

Yep, our son has learned he can "throw" his farts toward our noses with his hands and does it every. damn. time. It is hilarious but man that kid is stinky.

> scene where Bluey is playing “Penguins” in the bathroom was cut from the U.K. and the U.S., although it’s still referenced in the episode. Huh? I'm pretty sure I saw this scene on Disney+.
