In the parts of the series that mainly concern teenagers, in which more complex or conflicting life situations are dealt with, a number of harmful, ambiguous, stereotyped or prejudice-reinforcing themes appear, which can be harmful to the child viewer. Several civil organizations raised their voices against one of the new tales of KerekMese.. In the episode "Tomi családja", a small child is dissatisfied with his family and plays with the idea of ​​being adopted. Not long after, due to a mistake, the guardianship transferred him to another family, who, however, later found out that they only needed the child "for the aid". The video wasn't taken down from YouTube, despite the fact that it caused a big scandal.https://444.hu/2021/09/20/tobb-civilszervezet-is-a-kerekmese-rasszista-videojanak-eltavolitasat-kovetelihttps://168.hu/itthon/gyermekvedelem-tomi-mesek-kerekmese-rasszizmus-szegenyellenesseg-213822https://24.hu/kultura/2021/09/20/kerekmese-rasszizmus-rajzfilm-tiltakozas/https://hvg.hu/elet/20210920_Kerekmese_rajzfilm_korhatar_besorolashttps://index.hu/belfold/2021/09/21/rasszista-video-gyerekmese-kerekmese-rajzfilm-m2-ciganysag-romak-tomi-csaladja/https://www.blikk.hu/aktualis/belfold/kerekmese-rasszizmus-gyerekmese-ciganysag-video/vz1gbt5https://merce.hu/2021/09/20/a-rasszista-mese-az-rasszista-mese-marad/
Due to the scandal that broke out, Kolibri Kiadó announced that it was canceling the publication of the KerekMese books planned by them. According to the publisher's statement, the contract with the creators was terminated due to the episode of Tomi's family that appeared on the video, even though there were no problems with the planned storybooks, the publisher does not want to cooperate with the creators of the video episode anyway, because it is considered contrary to their basic philosophy, that it cannot be published either in the past or in the future they have a publication that violates or may violate fundamental human rights.https://telex.hu/kult/2021/09/23/kolibri-szerzodes-kerekmese-tomi-mese
