A U.K. television show which features adults posing nude in front of minors >has set off big reactions online.
oNaked Education,o is allegedly meant to promote obody positivityo for >teenagers by showing various adults fully nude. Host Anna Richardson is also >behind the dating show oNaked Attractiono and described this new venture as >oeducational, emotional, [and] joyous,o per The Daily Mail.
oIf youAre curious about your body, and your lifeAs journey (whatever that >may be), then tune in. We all need connection right now,o she told the >publication.
Richardson further defended the premise during an interview with The Sun.
oI like to make shows that are controversial, that break taboos and that make >a difference, and with every single show that IAve done you can tick one of >those boxes,o she said.
oNaked Education is a body positive, educational series that is basically >aiming to normalize all body types and champion everybodyAs differences, so >that we can accept that with our clothes off weAre all normal,o Richardson >added.
But social media users were not convinced. Many took issue with random adults >being nude in front of minors.
oChannel 4 has launched a show called aNaked EducationA which exposes >children to naked men, women and transgender adults. Why are parents happy >for their children to see other naked adults? Think all of those involved >need their hard drives checked,o commentator Anna McGovern tweeted.
oThis is literally just adults stripping naked in front of underaged kids. >And not only is it allowed on national TV, itAs celebrated. Exactly what >wake-up call do we need? How f***ed up does it have to get?o another person >asked.
Two of the showAs participants identify as transgender. They spoke publicly >about how excited they were to pose nude for the teens.
oThere is so much misinformation around being transgender in general, but >especially around gender-affirming surgery and what that is, and why we have >surgery. It was so important to show that this isnAt just surgery that we >choose, itAs life-saving stuff,o Finlay Games said of appearing on oNaked >Education.o
oWe donAt have an aagenda,A we just want to be happy,o Games added.
The U.K.-based series is similar to a Dutch show called oGewoon Blooto >(oSimply Nakedo), which also showcases naked adults, including trans- >identifying individuals, to underage kids.
