When children bully other children, they often use the words and images given to them by television; they learned to single out a class of person and they learned the words to use against those people from their favourite shows.

When TV shows aimed at children single out a particular class of person as the butt of a joke–for example, the man-in-a-dress sight gag beloved of cartoons since cartooning began–they are handing weapons to bullies.

These shows are complicit in bullying and abuse.
