DON'T CALL ME FREAKFACE CAMPAIGN BY CHANGING FACES

That this House supports the campaign mounted by the UK charity, Changing Faces, called Don't call me Freakface; deplores the use of common disfigurements such as scars, spots and missing eyes as lazy characterisations of baddies because they stigmatise children and young people with disfigurements and put them at risk of bullying and abuse; and calls on the company Mind Candy, creators of the online game, Moshi Monsters, to immediately change the names of the Glump characters called Freakface, Fish Lips and Bruiser and to remove all descriptions of characters which place value judgements on their disfigurements as an insulting and inappropriate way to suggest just how evil and scary they are.
