The creators of the popular children’s TV series “Bluey” have removed a scene from an episode after viewers in their native Australia were outraged. It is about the opening scene in an episode dealing with exercise where Dad Bandit in the series stands on the bathroom scale and with a sigh takes a look at his calves, Australian media reports. When daughter Bluey asks what’s wrong, he replies that he just needs to practice. Even mother Chilli is disappointed with the scale. The scene stirred up emotions among several in the audience who criticized the episode for weight and body humiliation on social media. The storm prompted the creators of the series, Ludo, to remove the scene, which was followed by Australia’s ABC, which broadcasts the series in its home country. “ABC supports the decision to cut the program and we have updated the episode on our platforms. BBC Studios will use the remastered version for global distribution and also supports this decision,” the ABC said in a statement.
