This scene is even nastier than I remember... No words.

I see the sailor moon inspiration now. they too added a black stereotype where a black man assaults a white woman and mind you this is the ONLY black character in the whole anime.

OMG💀💀

Doing all that when Bloom hair look like she lost a fight with a pair of cisors

mind you stormy’s hair looks like this so I don’t know why the hell she was laughing

the way she looks amazing with it too like this antiblack ass scene wtffff 😭😭

the only good thing 4kids did was editing it out

Clawdeen would’ve rocked ts

I love Winx but this whole scene was fucked up, I hate when kids shows make our hair into a joke.

and as far as i can remember we've never had a character with an afro ever since. not even a background character

might be one of the few times 4kids censorship actually made sense

When I was a kid the sound effect and shine made me genuinely think her hair turned into jelly or something. Nope, turns out it was just straight up racism 💀

well now i’m pissed

A perfectly shaped afro and she's crying #whatwerethewritersthinking

and what’s really crazy is she looks so good w her fro, it looks great on her 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄 can’t believe they played like this

this is why I love 4kids dub! they edited this scene and instead of making fun of her hair, her voice changed to a higher pitch bc she accidentally casted the wrong spell. her hair was seen as totally normal here 🥹

i loved the winx club so i am pissed. i hate this. i hate this so much. every frame. HOW WAS THIS OKAYED!?!?!?!?!

This is genuinely evil like a grown ass person sat their ass down and wrote, animated, and voiced some shit that has no purpose other than to have little black girls feel insecure

As a white kid I never viewed this scene as racist. For me they weren't making fun of her afro hair but the fact that her hair was kinda glued when Bloom touches it? This scene is very poorly executed. Kinda shame because now this episode is banned but is so fun & hilarious

i thought she was crying about something else just now cuz ive never watched it. maybe because her hair looks SO NORMAL i didnt even question it 💀

Mind you she looks pretty asf like I hate when cartoons showcase afros as undesirable

One of the villains has like the same hair type as well 😭

Honestly they could have just made that her hair was always into a nice afro but then got the texture got hexed into a sponge or something instead of going with the straight hair = pretty and afro = hahaha funny

she looked so beautiful with that hairstyle

Ignio dumb as hell for this. 4kids said “nawt on my watch!”. Had to change her voice instead of complaining about NATURAL hair. Da hell.

Yeah 4kids did it better and made it actually funny even this whole episode is lowkey problematic

If I had a nickel for every show that I'm a fan that made a joke about afro hairstyles that I can remember, I would have two nickels, which isn't a lot but it's sad that it happened more than zero times. (the other one is Anipoké whenever someone would get thundershocked)

I’m glad Aisha had not joined yet, idk what her name was one of the trix she got the same Afro damn near, what she talking about?

the idea of fucking Stormy with hair wider than it is tall making fun of someone else's frizzy hair. If I saw a woman look like Flora I'd assume she did her hair like that, if I saw a woman with hair like Stormy's I'd assume she got woken up at 5am and dragged outside.

Mind you stormy had a similar hair style, idk what her problem was 💀

“WHAT is THAT!?” It’s something called hair, Stella. Ffs😭

I understand why the girl herself got scared. I would have been scared too if my straight hair suddenly turned into an afro, because that's not normal for it. But why do the others react that way? It's a beautiful hairstyle.

The Abridged dub version of this episode is the best. The most annoying thing about this scene is it adds nothing, they could have just not added it in. Also, imo Icy and the Trix deserve more critique rather than Bloom, they are the ones who messed up her hair.

“What is that?” A supermodel actually I wish this was played as an uplifting moment but they just HAD to be racist

How it feels having Italian hair genetics in the slick back era

the way she ate that hairstyle down and they tried to frame it as a flaw is so crazy to me

Omg I don't remember this at all😭 but the afro was cute though😕
