Creator of Jurassic World: Camp Cretaceous responds to queer kiss backlash
"There is no need to have a kissing scene, especially a lesbian kissing scene, in a children's show. This is pushing an agenda. There are other options. There are other streaming networks."
"I created this show before handing it to an incredibly talented group of writers and animators. No one was trying to push anything on viewers. We were just trying to dramatise the full range of human experience, which includes same-sex relationships. That's all."
"Conservative Christians, I say sincerely that the only thing I am trying to push on your kids is, 'You are stronger and smarter and braver than you realise. Believe in yourself, take care of your friends and help others (and animals) where you can'."
Jurassic World: Camp Cretaceous included a scene in which two female characters confess love and share a kiss. Hungary's media regulator opened an investigation in 2022 related to the scene. Public backlash included calls to cancel Netflix subscriptions over LGBTQ-inclusive children's programming. Critics characterized the moment as unnecessary for young audiences and accused the content of promoting an agenda. The series presented same-sex relationships as part of the broader range of human relationships. Creative intent emphasized themes of self-belief, bravery, friendship, and caring for others and animals.
