What kid would even notice that, much less recognize it for what it is? Lol

Seriously, that lady has a dick radar.
Irrelevant. It shouldn't be in a kids' show.

Dylan didn't do it. There's more to this story...

listen to the mad man
I mean on the one hand it's bad to put this in a children's series, on the other hand when you freeze-frame the video to take the screenshot to share it with all the moms you know so the press picks up on it you are surely resulting in vastly more harm than the original thing, which apparently hadn't been noticed in the last 4 years or whatever since it was apparently there despite surely being watched by tens or hundreds of thousands of people.

Holy crap it actually is a drawing of a penis! No subtlety at all!
There it is.
Variety is 4chan for old people.
If you grew in LatAm in the 90's early 00's you learned that this kind of dumb jokes from animators are subliminal messages that make your kids gay.
Because the creators made a pact with the devil.
You see,they know kids love church so much the only way to make a product successful with kids without it preaching about Jesus is to make a pact with the devil.
I am not joking
There probably shouldn't be erect dick graffiti in a show for pre-schoolers.

finally, one of these things turns out to be real
remember when everyone freaked out over "SEX" in The Lion King and "good teenagers take off your clothes" in Aladdin?

Woah...no ball hairs....that blows this whole case wide open!
Maybe not but most european countries would probably take in stride. Is it in bad taste? Probably. But is it really that big of a deal? All this pearl clutching you'd think they had a full blown orgy going on in the background.

Yeah that's pretty much how I feel as well. It shouldn't be there in a kids show at all, but kids haven't noticed(?) until this lady called them out.
Sometimes a person will make a subtle reference to something that happens in fiction. It's something another person would only see as a reference if they're familiar with the work. It only becomes a spoiler when someone calls it out as such because otherwise it wouldn't make sense or be connected to that work in a person's head who doesn't already know.
This is like that. Young kids aren't going to see that as a penis. It's really only a big deal because someone freaked out and told everyone to look.

Holy crap, most European countries would be okay with that? That just seems bizarre to me.

Puritan values at it again.
Based Europe would shrug its shoulders and say "whatevs, don't do it again"
That doesn't sound like what she said at all.
"I know Im not going crazy and I know that something like this shouldnt be in a kids show whatsoever. Im extremely disgusted by it, there should be no reason my kids have to see something like this. I dont know if theyre gonna do something about this or what, but theres no reasons why this should be in this show.
Good thing I wasn't mimicing her or anyone specifically.
Europeans feel the way about our glorification of violence.

Thought this was going to be about Wakfu and got worried
Today I was watching the Turbo FAST cartoon with my son on Netflix. One of the snails wars facing off with giant sumo wrestler snails.
*snail turns tail toward sumos and taunts*
Sumo snail: you dare shake your tiny hind quarters at us? Prepare to be impacted by my massive girth
I lold and wonder how they get away with that stuff.
Its no animaniacs finger prince level though.

And from a cultural shock point of view, this would be equivalent to...probably having a person hanging in the background of a kids show. And I don't think anybody in America would find that acceptable either.
Then what was the point of the post? It was like you were mocking somebody who hasn't even said anything.

My takeaway from this thread is surprise that there's a new Maya the Bee. I don't remember that being a particularly popular or nostalgic show.
We used to make fun of it by changing the lyrics. "See her flying through the grass, with a stinger on her ass, MAYA, Maya the bee!"
I remember that more than any characters or anything that actually happened on the show.
