The wide range of content on Netflix includes movies and television shows for both children and adults. One of their most popular children’s shows, however, has Netflix under fire for controversy. The Netflix series just so happens to be CoComelon Lane.
CoComelon and its newer successor, CoComelon Lane, are extremely popular with today’s children. Both shows revolve around children and their daily experiences in life. One of the latest episodes, however, incorporated elements of diversity that some viewers found inappropriate.
In fact, one critic actually called the scene “just evil” due to its portrayal of a young child and their parents. It begins when a young boy named Nico needs to pick an outfit for his family photo.
The following video shared on X reveals the scene, with a caption that summarizes the clip as follows:
“The new CoComelon Lane on Netflix has a boy in a dress dance for his 2 gay dads.”

The caption continues:
“CoComelon is the most popular show for babies and toddlers ages 2+.”
Nico wears a number of different outfits when deciding what to wear in scenes excluded from this clip. Nevertheless, as he sings along with his two gay dads, he’s told the following lyric:
“Something that we know about you, you love to get up and dance.”
This is when Nico wears a tutu and crown and one of his dads sings the following line:
“If you’re not sure what to choose, think about all the things you like to do. Just be you.”
The lyrics continue to revolve around being yourself and choosing what Nico alone would like to wear or be.
Here are some of the comments that were shared in response to the video, including those that claim the scene itself is evil:
It’s not rocket science guys
They’re just evil and want to diddle kids https://t.co/z39Q5s3sWm

It’s really scary what the next generation will be like if parents don’t wake up and start shielding their children from the pedophiles.

This is child abuse masquerading as entertainment

Others defended the show against backlash, believing the scene was fitting and that conservatives are overreacting:
The funniest thing about conservative snowflakes getting upset about Cocomelon having a new gay couple on the show is the fact they fully believe that if they close their eyes tightly and cry hard enough into their phones, gay people who have kids will no longer exist. pic.twitter.com/S2f8ygx0Qw

Grown adults crying and threatening to boycott cocomelon cause they have a gay couple on the show. They’re mad about a show for toddlers btw
