Djgb13 2,338 Posted September 26, 2018 One of my buddies is saying that peppa pig has become an anti government symbol in China and is promoting gangster attitudes. Yall heard about this at all? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Voltaire 4,558 Posted September 26, 2018 Peppa Pig is just some cartoon that Ive not seen my youngest watch. If the government wanted to crack down on it, it would go away rather than be in stores like they did to Winnie the Pooh. I know Peppa is in stores because my youngests birthday was yesterday and went shopping for s gift on Monday. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

titans&bucs&bearsohmy! 2,745 Posted September 26, 2018 I used it in class all the time when I taught the young ones. All Ive read about it is that they are cracking down on counterfeit peppa pig dolls. I was in the mall the other day, and theyre still selling like hot cakes. Now, as volty alluded, I did read that Winnie the Pooh is banned because people made memes comparing him to president Xi. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
