Peppa Pig <\/a>has been all over our newsfeeds lately with Mummy Pig’s pregnancy, but it has sparked debate this is covering something subliminally sinister. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The biggest shock of the new edition to these announcements was that Pig is actually their surname, but the pregnancy and birth was deemed newsworthy by every major UK outlet. However it wasn\u2019t all muddy puddles and picnics, as some believed that the immense news coverage was a national distraction. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

From the sheer amount of news coverage, you could assume that Evie is a new royal or Kardashian, but she hails from the humble (and fictional) Pig family. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Is there a chance that this potential national treasure\u2019s cartoon creation was really sinister, or is the news just clutching at straws or any vaguely positive news to cheer the country up? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some are circulating the fairly straightforward conspiracy theory that this is orchestrated to distract the nation from political bad news and current events, and throw our focus to something more trivial and harmless. This could be true, as debate has been diverted from arguably more pressing, dare I say newsworthy topics, and onto the fictional piglet\u2019s birth instead. Should interview opportunities have been taken up on these occasions by people more worthy of a platform? Is Mummy Pig really who we need behind the news desk? And should we be questioning why she actually was? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jane Fleming, who was instantly suspicious of the coverage, thinks so. \u201cWith the world in the state it is in, I think it\u2019s inconceivable that we\u2019re spending time and resources on this,\u201d she said. \u201cIf the kids want to see their favourite characters and news on them, then they can turn on those cartoons, but now we\u2019re all talking about Mummy Pig instead of the genuine atrocities happening around us, it\u2019s absurd.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Others think that there is an even more suspicious undertone to the announcements and that this publicity could be a way to increase birth rates. Stay with me. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last week, UK Parliament Post published a research briefing titled \u2018Impacts of birthrate decline,\u2019 and it details growing concerns about a number of issues, including the size of future workforces. Everyone can agree the Mummy Pig news making headlines multiple times on every news outlet (the latest being Daddy Pig\u2019s interview on Good Morning Britain<\/a> just yesterday) is a tad peculiar, even if it’s being put down to just a bit of whimsical promotion for kids, so many took to social media to explore what the true intent behind the promo was. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Charlotte Hooks<\/a>, an influencer and feminist who analyses paradigm shifts, with over 1.7 million Tik Tok likes, described it as a \u2018political stunt\u2019. \u201cWhen it was announced on the news, initially I thought it’s weird it’s being announced on national TV and I just kind of brushed it off and assumed it was like a marketing ploy,\u201d she said. \u201cBut then when I was seeing it more and more, and saw a lot of other people making videos saying this is really weird, I started thinking \u2018why have they put this on the news?'”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hear me out \u2026 people are worried about decreasing birth rates and people they know are open to having children will be watching peppa pig and unlike with other adult tv shows there doesn\u2019t have to be any drama around the pregnancy or anything it can just be presented as a perfect happy thing #women<\/a> #birthrate<\/a> #birthrates<\/a> #pregancy<\/a> #mummypig<\/a> #female<\/a> #propoganda<\/a> #politics<\/a> #politicalagenda<\/a> #creatorsearchinsights<\/a> <\/p> \u266c original sound – Charlotte Hooks \u2728<\/a> <\/section> <\/blockquote>
