Peter Rabbit is an Allergy Bully now

Another group is now offended. Parents Are Saying Peter Rabbit Is an 'Allergy Bully'

This country truly is losing its fucking mind.

That’s what some parents are arguing after seeing the new Peter Rabbit film starring James Corden and directed by Will Gluck. The film, released on Friday in the U.S., grossed an estimated $25 million in its first weekend, out-earning every other film except the decidedly more grown-up Fifty Shades Darker, the final installment of the Fifty Shades of Grey trilogy.

The latest update to the classic children’s story features Peter Rabbit engaged in battle with the nephew of his traditional nemesis, the farmer Mr. McGregor. This nephew, as it turns out, has a blackberry allergy, a weakness Peter and his accomplices exploit in one battle scene. The rabbits pelt the younger Mr. McGregor with the berries and one goes into his mouth, causing him to go into anaphylactic shock and administer an EpiPen to himself.

Parents and advocacy groups have taken exception to this portrayal, calling it “allergy bullying” and saying it mocks allergy sufferers. The CEO of Allergy UK told The Telegraph the scene is irresponsible as it doesn’t portray the life-threatening danger of allergies and anaphylactic shock. On Saturday, the U.S.-based Food Allergy Research & Education organization warned on its Facebook page that the scene “might be upsetting” for viewers who have allergies.

I agree with those complaining. Stabbing yourself with an epi pen is not fun. Plus, you have to call 911 or take yourself to the hospital IMMEDIATELY after doing so. And..some girls in school recently did the same thing to another girl they didn't like. She was allergic to nuts, so they rubbed some all over their hands then touched her on her face, arms, etc pretending to be nice. Girl almost died.
Shit is NOT funny and shame on the producers and directors for not informing themselves BEFORE putting that scene in

There's already a thread on this. Was it on Fox or what?

Rabbit? Where? I'm hongry!

 

[boedicca]

I'm more offended by the bastardization of a Beatrix Potter classic.

Mac has been triggered again. He thinks the world is coming to an end because some people got pissed at a movie scene.

I swear, the only good book/movie translation that was ever ever accurate was "The Hobbit" Cartoon. That one did stay true to the book, word for word and painstakingly.

Anything can offend someone.

 

[mdk]

Domhnall Gleeson is on the “would do” list.

 

[emilynghiem]

OK maybe should they substitute the scene for attacking someone with Poison Ivy?

If Peanuts are off limits, maybe pelting someone with Walnuts might be fair game.

What happened to good old food fights? Has political correctness killed that joy as well?

Throwing Jello might be less "violent." But if Jello is made from animal hooves and cartilage, that might offend PETA and animal rights protestors....

The scene is allergy bullying, not well thought out, and offers a wonderful opportunity for parents and teachers to educate children on its dangers.

There is such a thing as keeping a child in a bubble. It's not healthy.

Yet another beautiful example of one of the Regressive Left's favorite tactics: Isolation.

Step One: Ignore and avoid the obvious point that one story is just a small part of a much larger, more important story.

Step Two: Then isolate that point in a transparent effort to minimize and avoid it. Toss in some hyperbole to make it worse.

Step Three: Pivot to an attack on the person who brought up the story.

These are nasty, dishonest, illiberal people. But fortunately they're more than willing self-identify for me.

Well, that is true..however...they should have known better. That movie is geared for younger crowds. The producers should have done some studying before putting that scene in the kiddie movie instead of seeing just dollar signs.

Yeah...you say that to the kid..maybe yours...dead in the morgue.

Mac1958 is identifying the class regressive far right RushLimbaugh adaption of the Alinsky Rules of isolation.

The regressive right and the crazy far left are simply dooshes.

And then, bing, right on cue, just a few minutes later.

Thanks again.

The little bunnies should have just gnawed off Mr. McGregor's leg and left him to die in the field ...
Or maybe bought some ACME Dynamite and smoked the farmer's house.

Somehow we lived through ... Rabbit season ... Duck season ... Rabbit season ... Duck season ... BAM!

Bugs Bunny used to do much worse

Fortunately nobody is born with a right to never be offended so these deeply disturbed parents' sniveling is meaningless. Ever notice when liberals bellyache about being "offended" they always sound like snotty little kids who have been awake way past their bedtime.
