#bfdi is generally inoffensive outside of this and like. a few fatphobic jokes very early on

Not sure how many people have talked about this before but since I personally haven't seen it As much as I like BFDI, I cannot stand that Teardrop "not talking" (aka just Being Mute) is such a big joke, in a children's show no less It's uncomfortable the more I think about it because It might seem harmless at first but... children are the Target Demographic and I really wish their exposure to a mute character wouldn't just be "haha look this character can't talk let's force them to talk" You could make the argument that well, BFDI is a pretty unrealistic and cartoonishly exaggrated show and while that's true, muteness is still Very Real and not just like, Characters getting killed slapstick style where most kids wouldn't think about it twice. But this is an ongoing joke even up to BFB (where cary and michael are already adults!) to the point where It's the whole title of the first EP Am I making sense? Does anyone else feel weird about this
