That Babe Raider episode was so inappropriate.


Did anyone else find the Babe Raider episode to be kind of inappropriate for a G-rated show such a Life with Derek? It was the episode where Derek and his brother got hooked on a video-game called Babe Raider, that degraded women. Throughout the episode, Casey talked about a lot of sexism and feminism, but what really made the episode rather unsuitable for a family audience, were the sexual references. There were mentions of boobs, scantly-clad women, and at the end, they even showed a pic Derek had in his room of a girl in a thong! It didn't bother me since I was way past a young age at the time, but I felt that it was kind of inappropriate to show on a channel such a Disney. What do you guys think? I mean, I don't really mind watching it because I'm older, but its just that, the issues in the episode don't appeal to children- let alone them even being aware of it in real life.

Your just being unrealistic, I see 12 year olds going into R rated movies almost every time I'm at the theater and know 11 year olds who've seen Piranha.

I agree, the episode was pretty risque for Disney, but it was a great episode.

Also, for the user who said "your just being unrealistic," when kids go into R Rated movies they know what they are getting themselves into. As for Disney Channel, I am pretty sure that kids who watch it do not expect to see that kind of stuff on a family-oriented channel.

This is a Canadian show. Their standards are different.

The episode actually had a really good message, but it probably should have been PG instead of G.

Risqué for Disney. But this episode is what got me into life with Derek. Realistic and not stupid humor like most of the stuff on Disney

I can't really say I have a problem with anything that has Casey showing a lot of skin.

You have a good point. However most kids have seen movies with that stuff.
