ポーランド 「くまのプーさん」禁止、上着のみ半裸、服装が不適切で性別不明
海外メディアの２０日付記事によると、ポーランド中部のＴｕｓｚｙｎでは、上着しかきておらず、性別も不明という理由で、「クマのプーさん」が現地の子供用の遊園地に現れることを禁止しているという。
報道によると、デザインだけを見ると、「クマのプーさん」は、赤い上着しか着用していない。そしてくまのプーさんの名前「ウィニー・ザ・プー」の「ウィニー」とは通常女の子につけられる名前だが、「クマのプーさん」のアニメでは吹き替えは男ばかりだ。
当局の報道官によると、「クマのプーさん」は上着しか着ておらず「半裸」状態であり、子供に適さない。ポーランドでは、クマのおもちゃは頭から足まできちんとした服装をしているという。
地方議員は「クマのプーさん」の性別を問題にしている。「クマのプーさん」がズボンを履いていないのは、性別が不明という証拠だという。
Winnie the Pooh banned from Polish playground for being 'inappropriate hermaphrodite'
Winnie the Pooh has been banned from a Polish playground because of his “dubious sexuality” and “inappropriate” dress.
The much-loved animated bear was suggested at a local council meeting to decide which famous character should become the face of the play area in the small town of Tuszyn.
But the idea soon sparked outrage among more conservative members, with one councillor even denouncing poor Pooh as a “hermaphrodite”.
“The problem with that bear is it doesn’t have a complete wardrobe,” said Ryszard Cichy during the discussion.
“It is half naked which is wholly inappropriate for children. [Poland’s fictional bear] is dressed from head to toe, unlike Pooh who is only dressed from the waist up.”
The meeting of officials was sneakily recorded a councillor and leaked to local press, according to the Croatian Times.
One unnamed councillor can be heard discussing Pooh’s sexuality, arguing that “it doesn’t wear underpants because it doesn’t have a sex” before another, Hanna Jachimska starts criticising Winnie the Pooh author AA Milne.
“This is very disturbing but can you imagine! The author was over 60 and cut [Pooh’s] testicles off with a razor blade because he had a problem with his identity,” she said.
The councillors are yet to finally decide who the patron of the children’s playground will be. Safe to say, Pooh is out of the running.
