The TV channel TV3 has blurred pacifist and queer symbols on the clothing of a character in the French animated series “Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug & Cat Noir.” The Telegram channel “Khlopok” (“Clap”) drew attention to this.
In the fourth episode of the sixth season, the character Mylène Haprèle appeared with several badges on her overalls. The censorship targeted both a badge featuring the LGBTQIA+ progress pride flag and a badge with a peace sign coloured in the Rastafarian flag’s hues.
According to the authors of “Khlopok,” the second badge may have been blurred out because Rastafarianism is associated with cannabis use. Another possible reason is the peace symbol itself, which is often used by opponents of the war in Ukraine.

The adoption of the “LGBT propaganda” law marked not only widespread censorship but also intensified repression against LGBTQ people and the organisations that support them. With the designation of the “International LGBT Movement” as an “extremist organisation,” this pressure has increased once again.
