It’s only adults who think that parts of the human body are somehow evil or immoral, and then they push that onto kids which probably isn’t that healthy. As long as it’s not sexual I think this is great. ---

> [@Kimstu](#): > > Despite all the jokes, which I’m not in any way trying to, um, deflate, it seems pretty clear that the protagonist’s penile escapades are not being presented as sexual. No erections, ejaculations, sexual arousal, just magic prehensile penis. I’m honestly not of the opinion that matters all that much. It’s still this guy who can’t control his penis which gets into mischief. You don’t want to be modeling that sort of thing for children to do, or make it seem like that would be acceptable for an adult to do. It has #MeToo vibes even if the show isn’t explicitly sexual. The psychologist in the article says people are adding adult ideas to it, but it was created by adults. which means they knew of the adult implications. The art style isn’t very good, like they didn’t put much work into it, and, according to the article, the channel is also known for having a kid who smokes, swears, and refuses to take a bath. Even if you allow the other two, surely “smoking is cool” is a lesson we’re past teaching kids. That to me makes it look like the whole point is the controversy. I would normally say “well, if you don’t like it, don’t (let your kids) watch it.” However, that doesn’t work as well on a public-funded network. There’s the question “should public money be spent on this?” especially since usually publicly funded things for kids tend more towards the educational. I’m just not sure this isn’t just provocative for provoking sake, while potentially problematic, all for something a single YouTuber on no budget could make look better. I almost wasn’t going to post this but the post above mine acting like people were wrong to care pushed me over the edge. This is a guy whose penis is not under his control and causes mischief. That’s an obvious old stereotype about how men can’t control their penises. ---

If they only wanted the humor of an uncontrollable body part, surely it would have worked better to use a body part they could show, like a foot or a nose? They chose penis for a reason. ---

The picture in the linked article shows his penis pouring something onto a barbecue grill. It could be lighter fluid, or insecticide. Whatever it is, it’s pouring it onto the briquettes when there are already burgers or something cooking. This just goes to show that you should never let your penis decide what and when to pour on your barbecue. At least the penis is not unclothed. And someone had the good fashion sense to have the penile covering match the guy’s striped outfit. It’s terrible when those things clash. ---

“A man who can’t control his penis.” Isn’t that a redundancy? ---

Up until just 25 years ago (maybe it was 30?) hardcore, explicit pornography featuring 13 and 14 year-old girls was perfectly legal to purchace in Olde Copenhagen, so clearly the sophisitcated, cosmopolitan Danes don’t need any vulgar hillbilly Americans telling them how to treat their minor children. ---
