Binky does not seem to be an actual bully.



Binky is portrayed as being a bully to some extent, however he is never actually seen being a bully, at least not in the episodes I've watched. He's actually a complex person with similar interests (arguably more cultured interests, with proof being his interest in the clarinet) to the rest of the group. However he is pigeonholed as being a bully. A part of this definitely seems to be based on class, so is he part of this indentured class of people that may possibly exist, as mentioned above?


Binky is portrayed as a bully because of his large size and large jaw, i.e. a "meathead"

It's body shaming and it's bullying

 My kids love Peppa Pig. It's actually not a terrible show for background noise while I'm doing something else.
