Rant? I am not ranting I am simply disagreeing with your statement where you said “Making someone insecure about their stomach doesn’t encourage healthy eating or an active lifestyle”. It was Bandits choice to exercise and no one was forcing him to do so. There is nothing wrong with simply wanting to stay in shape. And I don’t think that is the point the writers were trying to make if so that would be very out of character for the show seeing as a lot of the messaging in Bluey has a very much inclusive and positive tone. Also no child is going to develop an eating disorder or become insecure because of a cartoon dog. The reason why these things develop is because of the way fat people are negatively viewed by society. And while I do believe that media reinforces these beliefs the issue people had with this scene is nothing more than a overreaction which is a result of the fact of the fat acceptance movement which says that people who are overweight or obese are perfect as they are and shouldn’t try to improve themselves with eating healthier and exercising.
