Recently, a petition to take Big Mouth off of Netflix has gained a large amount of traction. The creator of the petition claims Big Mouth is inappropriate and mind-warping to children. However, these claims are naïve and uninformed, especially when observing the actual content of the show. Big Mouth is made about middle through high school kids, for middle through high school kids. Most teenagers are exposed to sexual concepts, but due to a lacking sexual education, are left feeling confused, lonely, and weird about themselves. Most young people feel insecure that they’re different, and therefore these topics are stigmatized. Big Mouth is a show that embraces and explores these areas that even the school system is afraid to address, along with crude, but demographically enjoyable humor. So many 7th through 10th graders are amused, relieved, and even educated because of this cartoon. Parents will always be protective of what their children are consuming, but we must realize that to deny your kids a show like this is to deny them confidence, education, and validation. Sign this petition to give back to the wonderful creators behind Big Mouth.
