Link doesn’t explain

Link is to the Scouts Style guide (for writing and talking). Sets out what is acceptable and unacceptable speech/words. E.g.
Mate referred me to the "Down under" entry.

Harry MacLary from Donaldsons Dairy is not diverse enough (nor is the Very Hungry Caterpillar and We're Going on a Bear Hunt)

From Patels Superette?

I grew up in Nelson. It was pretty fair to say I didn’t see a single brown or asian face til I moved to Wellington in the late 80s.
Different times, fuck sake why the hell to people feel the need to bring this shit up ?
The books ( and DVDs ) are wonderful for kids and I’m sure I’m not the only Dad on here who knows them all word for word without even trying.
I’m fairly sure if it was written today it would have had a gay, bisexual and gender neutral dog as part of the gang for enough diversity.
Should Linley Dodd apologise and pay a massive lump sum to charity for her crimes ?

@MN5 well you could also just not specify Hairy Maclary, Bottomly Potts, Muffin McLay, Bitzer Maloney, schnitzel von krumm as having a gender, but then I guess thats part of the 'issue'...
Hercules Morse (with his manly name) and Scarface Claw the toughest Tom in Town are probably the only 2 clearly defined as males?
I liked this bit
one has to remember that lady dogs have certain times when they're not supposed to be out gallivanting anyway," she added.
What about the Hungry Caterpiller, surely they'd call it fat shaming for all the eating!

WIth names like that all they’re doing is reinforcing negative dominant male stereotypes. What was Dodds thinking ?!?!

Strong is the narcissism & faux rage in this one.

Make an extremely bad judgement….get the boot. Play the race/sexual orientation card.
Enjoy the dole lines pal.

British fossil fuel lunatic protesters — typically sad looking older white people, just an observation — continue to glue themselves to paintings in the Royal Academy. Last week it was Constable and Van Gogh, today it’s Da Vinci’s Last Supper. These extremist whackjobs aren’t moving the needle on their cause a millimetre with undecideds and their actions are more likely to backfire and harden feelings against them. I’m totally against violence, but concede there are times somebody needs a slap upside their head.

Best comment was 'leave them there, watch them piss and shit themselves'

Seems appropriate to put this here.
RDJr was great in that. Probably lots of fodder for the woke crowd to froth over, but fuck em, don't let them ruin the joy of these kinds of funny movies. If you're gonna get triggered, don't watch and let the rest of us enjoy them

@taniwharugby Just to clarify, the report author is claiming that the human characters are outdated, not the dogs. The vet, the butcher, the head teacher being men etc.
I agree that the whole whole piece of research seems like a solution in search of a problem, but to be fair the media reports could have been a little bit more transparent. It's not about the dogs being male, female or gender diverse.

@JC TBF, I didnt read it, only watched the piece on TV, where they were talking about the animals...
Also, the Very Hungry Caterpiller, I cant recall, but my recollection of the book is a Caterpiller that was very hungry, ate lots of food, and then one day, turned into a beautiful butterfly...unsure what aspects there require diversity.
But it is searching for issues where there arent really issues.
