SpongeBob and his friends Mr Krabs and Patrick Star live at the bottom of the sea, which is imaginative, but each character in the cartoon has unique weak traits. It’s not hard to see why KFCB banned the cartoons, although they were still available on American pay-TV network Nickelodeon. In one of the scenes in The Loud House, for instance, a child is dropped off at a friend’s house for a sleepover by his two dads. KFCB asked pay-TV services provider MultiChoice to stop airing the shows because they did not uphold Kenya’s family values. According to the board’s chief executive Ezekiel Mutua, they all had scenes where homosexual behaviour were being glorified, normalised and glamourised. The cartoon, alongside the Legend of the Korra, Hey Arnold, Clarance, Steven Universe and Adventure Time, were banned in Kenya by the Kenya Film Classification Board (KFCB) in 2017.
