People Are Up in Arms About This 'Peter Rabbit' Scene

This week, Sony and the makers of the new children's movie Peter Rabbit faced criticism for a scene about food allergies. In the film, Peter Rabbit attacks his human nemesis with blackberries, forcing him to use an EpiPen so he doesn't go into anaphylactic shock. Given that many kids have dangerous or deadly allergies, activists and concerned parents were upset by the scene and took to social media to start a boycott.

discuss?

i dont get it.
if your kid has serious food allergies wouldnt it be a good thing for them to see
such a representation ?
i cant pretend to know what folks are thinking.

eta
boycott, whatever
or alternately use this as a learning/teaching moment

While I agree this could be a teaching moment, I think the outrage comes from showing the "hero" using someone's medical condition against them. I haven't seen the movie and wasn't planning to anyway, so I have no idea how the scene plays out in the movie but I can sorta see why someone would think that's distasteful.

This makes no sense.

Did he not go to the hospital after using his epipen or something like that? I'm reaching to find the outrage.

Were people upset over My Girl?

Were people upset over My Girl?

That was someone getting stung by bees at random. Not the protagonist of the movie attacking someone with something they're allergic to, so I don't see the comparison.

Kids May Need Some Preparation For 'My Girl' Death Scene



You seem to be missing the point. There's no need for outrage here. Just responsible parenting.

It's a smart attack, dirty, but these kids need to learn that all's fair in love and war. Maybe they'll learn that no matter how big and bad, they all have a weakness...
