Terrible morals
3 March 2024
Pretty looking. Needlessly perpetuates some pretty awful morals. As a primary school teacher I stumbled across this on Channel 5's Milkshake. I would never play this in school, in the one episode I saw it perpetuated some pretty terrible gender stereotypes, the impression you should always worry what your hair looks like, and that a male king can just trick a dumb witch into doing whatever he wants, while putting the king on the pedestal at the end of the story. The child asks "why did you lie?" And he replies something along the lines of a sarcastic well sometimes you need to. The programme creators clearly don't have a good sense of values themselves. Some people don't seem to mind, but knowing how children pick up on these things I find it really crass and irresponsible. You can be just as fun, playful and poke fun without needing to be so crass.
