China Bans Peppa Pig Videos For Being Too "Gangster"

China has started to ban Peppa Pig from social media for being too “gangster,” deleting over 30,000 videos of the cartoon pig on one platform alone. The Peppa Pig TV show first started airing in China in 2015. But at some point last year, young adults started co-opting the innocent cartoon as a symbol of subversion, even getting tattoos of Peppa. As SBS News reports, a rhyme that roughly translates to “get your Peppa Pig tatt, shout out to your frat” recently went viral on social media.
