Bluey fans in online row amid accusations of profanity on the beloved children's show's website

An online row has broken out between Bluey fans after the beloved children's show was accused of using profanity.

Earlier this week, a member of the Facebook group, Adult Bluey Lovers, posted a screenshot from the website of the Australian-made cartoon - and expressed concerns over the language used.

In a description of a recent episode, a character was described as being 'hell-bent' on selling real estate, a turn of phrase with which the Facebook user took issue.

'Why did Bluey say the H-word?' read the post's caption. 

The complaint received almost 2000 comments, with many of the 72,000 Bluey fans in the group rushing in to defend the choice of language.

Earlier this week, a member of the Facebook group, Adult Bluey Lovers, posted a screenshot from the website of the Australian-made cartoon and had a problem with some of the language

'I was looking for the word "hooker" or...something offensive......nope nothing to see here,' wrote one Facebook user. 

'I fear adults who call it "the H-word." ADULTS' wrote another user in the kids show fan group.

'It's hell. What's the big deal? [Americans] say it to your kids faces in church all the time,' wrote one prickly commenter in response.

Many more commenters agreed, sparking a fiery debate on religious sensibilities.

'We can say it in church but otherwise it's a cuss word? Yikes,' wrote another Facebook group member.

Another echoed this sentiment: 'I sure as hell can't tell you we learned about hell if I can't use the word hell, can I?' 

The post received almost 2000 comments, with many of the 72,000 Bluey fans in the group rushing in to defend the choice of language

'Worried about a word yet you put fear in them with your religious nonsense,' someone else remarked.

'If you need the threat of hell to be a good person. You are not a good person, you are a bad person on a leash,' wrote another.

However, other commenters had more with the post.

'You're lucky as an Australian show they're not using the "c word" every other sentence,' one commenter quipped.
