Uh... so. This happened. It's rather unexpected. I'm not saying it's bad, in fact, just the opposite! I just wasn't expecting to see this on a mainstream children's network. Ladies and gentlemen, for our entry that shows Yes, It Can Be Done, today it's more like Yes, It Was Done!
So... context time. This is part of a popular Nick series titled The Loud House. It's by a member of the old Cartoon Network staff, Chris Savino, and it's even more popular than SpongeBob. It's also mostly garbage, full of simple humor that involves an awful lot of juvenile body functions, but this... this surprised me.
That's a photo from the main male character, Lincoln Loud's album of one of his cherished memories, bathing with one of his many sisters, Lynn. The show data says Linc is two years younger than than her, so the only way this'd meet the maximum baby age requirement is if he was 1 in this pic. But there's an actual 1-year-old in the show, and we've seen her gender-swapped, and the two body types don't match. Plus, she's missing a tooth, and there are two 6-year-olds who are also missing teeth. The specific tooth she lost puts her at 7 or 8, and matches up with the biology of the 6-year-old's missing teeth.
I think all the evidence points in the right direction! This is a little girl in the grey zone who showed her nipples alongside a boy of similar age-range. The only bad thing about it is now I'm mandated by this to start including nipples in my pics.
That said, how this goes over will depend on the audience's reaction. It's just a bath pic, so I don't think kids'll find it funny. All I need to do is make sure the grown-ups don't cry foul over it and we'll see if society is on the right track.
Keep a close eye, people! We may start seeing a change.
