One Million Moms was outraged and appalled by what it thought was curse words in Doc McStuffins, an animated program that is known as clean and family-friendly. The mom activist group reported that Doc McStuffins includes curse words and bleeps to cover up foul language during this cartoon.
“Disney Channel has questionable content at times, especially when it portrays kids showing disrespect towards parents and adults,” the group contended. “However, many still consider, or at least hope, it is a family-friendly channel since it is a network created for children, particularly the Disney Junior division, which is primarily for preschoolers.”
One Million Moms offered a specific example: During one episode of Doc McStuffins, the dino stuffed animal seemed to use profanity purposely placed immediately before a sneeze so it would not be as noticeable. Several people posted online about other clips that sounded like they included profanity.
“This is not material that should be included in a children’s program on a kid’s network. Disney Channel typically airs episodes repeatedly in the form of reruns so this is not a safe show for your family to watch,” the group said. “If this is allowed by Disney Junior in programing designed for their youngest audiences, there is no telling what they will sneak into shows designed for older audiences.
However, many are claiming that there are no curse words at all.
Here’s a Snopes article that debunks what it says is a myth.
