alternate universe where bluey’s parents are an ancap and a libertarian, and the episode revolves around whether the child counts as property and can be bought or sold without consult, or whether the child can consent

"if only it appeared on a platform"

Fascist nonsense aside, have they heard about pirate-jammin ?

My only gripe with Bluey is that 70% of the episodes take place in their massive 10000 square foot mansion. I do worry it might set some unrealistic expectations when the kids watching get older. In other kid shows there is enough crazy shit going on to accept the setting isn't based in reality (like on a space ship or in mickey mouse hell world) but Bluey I'd equate more to like the simpsons, where you can start to forget that everyone is a dog.

Like seriously I'd like a scene where Bandit opens his $700 electric bill to keep that warehouse cool during the summer.

[-] Doubledee@hexbear.net 18 points 3 months ago

Related, Bandit and Chili appear to work light jobs that barely take any of their time and leave them fresh to pour unlimited attention onto their kids throughout the entire episode. As a worker splitting parenting with my spouse across day and night shifts I think this might give our kids unrealistic expectations of our ability to stop what we are doing and follow their ideas wherever they are leading.

Not that it isn't aspirational. But I personally can't be as good as Chili and Bandit appear to be.

[-] Melonius@hexbear.net 10 points 3 months ago

Yeah I feel that too. I will say most of the episodes follow a contiguous 15 minute period. When my kid asks me to play with him I do think of the show and make the decision to try and do w/e the hell he wants for 15 minutes.

Just to say that the endless energy and enthusiasm that Chili and Bandit display can be made from those "good moments" we get outside work, sleep, housework, chores, shopping, etc.

[-] Doubledee@hexbear.net 5 points 3 months ago

Yeah for sure, I get that. Not sure if the kids will but you can't control that really.

Setting a clear time limit with my son eventually helped when he was younger. Otherwise he’d assume I could just play the game indefinitely or over and over. He’s 6 now and still loves to play some Bluey-like games (floor is lava and rug island type games). But he knows I can’t go again and again, and that stopping for coloring or reading time after a game is helpful to us both.

Also Bandit carrying a 6 and 5 year old around at the same time doesn’t happen unless you have tiny kids. My son is almost 4 feet tall and 50 lbs. I’m big enough to give him piggy back rides or carry him from the car when he’s asleep, but some of the stuff they do is pure fiction for humans.

Australian suburban houses do tend to be quite big though, we have very large backyards. Though how the hell they can afford rent on that place makes no damn sense to me (maybe they got a large inheritance or something, that's pretty much the only way people can afford houses these days, and I assume that works for dogs too)

[-] keepcarrot@hexbear.net 24 points 3 months ago

I have no idea what Bluey is, but paw patrol is pretty conservative and seems to be in that age bracket AND seems pretty popular. idk what the left equivalent of "libertarian cop show" would be.

[-] Evilphd666@hexbear.net 13 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

Bluey is amazing. It's an Aussie show around a family of Blue Healers that are really good at letting their daughters imaginations play out. Like being cool with your kids, but also teaching sharing and fairness. It is also fun to watch as an adult as it can tackle some serious topics at times like miscarriage or things that kids just ask about different adult things and all the silly little things adults have to deal with raising a child. I tried to suggest it to my CHUD sister but she said it was basically too woke.

Daily Wire bro just wishes they could syndicate it or completely unaware of it's woke messaging.

The show has such good writing, directing, acting it can get almost Pixar quality. It's a rare gem.

Take the Sleepytime epsisode (~ 7 min)

You can find regular runs of full seasons on YT.

I wonder how he feels about Mr. Rogers and Sesame Street. Historically the right has hated them.

In the premiere episode of "PAW Guerilla," titled "Pup Uprising and Birthday Bash," Ryder and his revolutionary pup comrades confront General Humdinger's oppressive regime in Adventure Bay. Amidst planning a daring attack on a police station, the pups also organize a surprise birthday party for Ryder. Through teamwork and creativity, they successfully execute their missions, showcasing their commitment to freedom and friendship in the face of adversity.

Bluey is just “love each other and have patience with misunderstandings”

Dennis Prager, while championing that every unborn baby is precious, seethes whenever teacher says a student is special just because “simply existing doesn’t make you special”. That should give you an idea of how conservatives feel about love

Seventeen moments of spring?

[-] Greenleaf@hexbear.net 18 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

I wouldn’t call it conservative, it’s mostly non-ideological. But there are some tiny moments where ideology seeps through a bit, and it is kinda reactionary.

There’s an episode dedicated to licking troop boot (I have so many questions about how war in the mirror dog world actually works). And there’s another one where the lesson they try and hit you over the head with is “this everyone gets a trophy culture is ruining kids, you should let them be disappointed some times”. But honestly that’s about it.

(To that last one, season 3 wasn’t great because they decided to make it less of an actual kids show and more “let’s preach to parents about how to be good parents” kind of show).

Well that’s correct. But i don’t think I’ve seen this be enough of a problem to complain about it. Even back in elementary school we had field day, and everyone got a ribbon. But it was more of a commemorative ribbon for each year rather than “everyone wins!”

How odd. I've seen the show and the parents never physically beat or psychologically terrorize their young children, and then get surprised 20 years later when their kids no longer want to speak to them.

Conservatives think anything involving a family = conservative. Meanwhile they will support and pass laws and corporate policies that destroy family development and relationships, including nuclear families.

[-] SoyViking@hexbear.net 6 points 3 months ago

The left are the ones who stand for true family values: Parental leave, healthcare, walkable cities, adequate housing, well-funded schools, childcare, thriving wages and vacation time for mom and dad etc. One of the great ideological victories of reaction was when they managed to repackage misogyny, homophobia and theocracy as "family values".

[-] IMF_DOOM@hexbear.net 9 points 3 months ago

its not a conservative show if the parents dont get drunk and go on a rant about how african people are genetically incapable of running a country or why soviet civilian casualties didnt matter because Stalin wouldve probably big spooned them anyway or that a romani genocide would be a good thing actually like my own dad did to me as a kid

I wonder if he tried to license the popular Bluey series to attact unwitting traffic to his platform and was politely told to piss off. Disney Junior is currently syndicating it in the United States. They have most episodes on YT for free as well. - he's jelly.

[-] SoyViking@hexbear.net 6 points 3 months ago

Bluey is just a loving family with two cute kids. Apart from the "everyone is middle class and live in big single family homes" trope that you find in basically every cultural product for children there's no t that much of a political message there.

[-] sir_this_is_a_wendys@hexbear.net 6 points 3 months ago

The fact that he mentions they are trying to make a conservative Bluey days it all. Also most families don't sit around and think about if they are conservative or not. Conservative values are anti family and anti human nature.
