However, this seemingly harmless cartoon has been "banned" or "limited" in some countries or platforms. This article will analyze the reasons for the ban of "Peppa Pig" and the focus of controversy based on the hot topics and structured data on the Internet in the past 10 days.

| Peppa Pig is banned | 12.5 | Weibo, Zhihu |
| Controversy over children’s animation content | 8.3 | Douyin, Bilibili |

2. Three major reasons why "Peppa Pig" was banned
1.Controversy over children's behavior imitation: Some parents believe that Peppa Pig’s behaviors such as jumping into mud pits and talking back in the animation are easily imitated by young children, leading to educational problems in real life. For example, Weibo user "@parenting expert 李师Sensei" pointed out: "After watching the movie, the children deliberately imitated Peppa Pig and stepped into puddles, and even spoke in a rude tone to their parents."
2.conflict of cultural values: In some areas, "Peppa Pig" caused controversy due to its reference to "Western lifestyle". For example, in Middle Eastern countries, it was temporarily removed from the shelves due to conflicts between its character image and religious teachings; there are also voices in the country that believe that it "overemphasizes individualism."
3.Platform content review and upgrade: Recently, short video platforms have strengthened the control of content for young children. Secondary videos of "Peppa Pig" uploaded by some users were removed from the shelves in batches because they contained dangerous actions (such as the spoof of "people pretending to be Peppa Pig and jumping off a building"), which accidentally damaged the reputation of the original animation.

3.compromise suggestion: Most netizens called for the adoption of a "rating system" rather than a blanket ban.
5. Summary
