No more Snowmen on CBeebies ?

Will it even be Gransnet !
Surely Grandparents/elderfamilymembernet is more in keeping. More inclusive ?

This has to be a wind-up!

Sadly not lucky girl

Compacted small white ice crystal people ⛄

?

Sorry Cherrytree I don't think they would be allowed to be "white" ice crystals.....!

I can't see anything wrong with it.

Some snow may want to be identify as slush.
Or gender fluid frozen water?

I can't see anything wrong with it (either ilovecheese).

Brilliant ,gmelon

And just who takes offense at them being called snowmen? Or is this just a reaction to a non existent slight?
Thank goodness my DVD no longer watches cbeebies or cbbc.

Grr annoying autocorrect, I meant DGD

If we are going to have to call them snow people, maybe we need to make the gender clear with a strategically placed carrot so as to avoid confusion!

Greenpeace introduced the term snowpeople a long time ago, at least twenty years, possibly more.

How do I know this? Because that many years ago I bought some Greenpeace xmas cards which had placard holding snow people on them. The placard said: "Snow people against global warming". I sent one to my aunt. She loved it.

I suppose language does evolve.
I can remember when 'parenting' sounded odd, but not any more. I always refer to firefighters rather than firemen to children, which is more accurate.
In a few years snow people will be fine and sound ok. Sounds a bit odd now of course.

How ridiculous snow person. Soon when you have a baby you won't be able to say if its a boy or girl it will be just a baby person.

There isn’t anything inherently wrong with it , if it was just an additional term there wouldn’t be a problem, the problem arises when people are taken to task or prosecuted for being offensive because they have addressed someone in a manner not to that persons liking & have allegedly disrespected them thus causing distress .

Or gender fluid, until they grow up & decide for themselves Nicenanny3. ?

gmelon

Political correctness gone mad I'd say Bridgeit

Yes definitely Smileless, it’s sort of funny until you realise how potentially dangerous it will/can become.
Hard won freedom of speech is actually under threat,
In the words of Dads Army, were all Doomed, Doomed I say?

gmelon, love that. True though innit?

Well, I guess snow people are made of snowflakes so maybe it's an appropriate term!

This may have been posted before, and I can't find the author to attribute it to but it made me smile wryly.

"My morning.

8:00 am: I made a snowman.

8:10 am: A feminist passed by and asked me why I didn't make a snowwoman.

8:15 am: So, I made a snowwoman.

8:17 am: My feminist neighbor complained about the snowwoman's voluptuous chest, saying it objectified snowwomen everywhere.

8:20 am: The gay couple living nearby threw a hissy fit and moaned it could have been two snow men instead.

8:22 am: The transgender ma..wom...person asked why I didn't just make one snowperson with detachable parts.

8:25 am: The vegans at the end of the lane complained about the carrot nose, as veggies are food and not to decorate snow figures with.

8:28 am: I am being called a racist because the snow couple is white.

8:31 am: The Muslim gent across the road demanded the snow woman wear a burqa.

8:40 am: The police arrive, saying someone has been offended.

8:42 am: The feminist neighbor complained again that the broomstick of the snowwoman needs to be removed, because it depicted women in a domestic role.

8:43 am: The council equality officer arrived and threatened me with eviction.

8:45 am: My local TV news crew showed up, asking me if I know the difference between snowmen and snowwomen. I replied, "Snowballs." Now I’m called a sexist.

9:00 am: I'm on the morning news, being described as a suspected terrorist, racist, homophobe, and sensibility offender, bent on stirring up trouble during difficult weather.

9:10 am: I am asked if I have any accomplices. My children are taken by social services.

9:29 am: Far left protesters offended by everything are marching down the street demanding I be charged by the Anti-Everything Commissioner and then beheaded.

So, how's your morning been?"

So the carrot won't be placed in the area of the nose anymore ? It'll be placed anatomically to distinguish between the sexes instead.
