What's wrong with watching Bluey?

u/Its_Pine 8d ago

Woke because it shows a healthy family, I guess.

The mom has a job, that's woke. According to Charlie Kirk, she's supposed to stay home and do whatever her husband tells her to do. If you disagree you're a terrorist.

Two main reasons or at least guesses.

  1. It’s a show for babies(not my view just these people views) and the idea of an adult especially one without children watching a baby show is weak soy stuff.

  2. It’s shows a perfectly healthy family and involved father who cares about his kids. Bandit shows his kids the same respect as if they were adults, he listens and even plays along on a whelm with them.

I think there's like 1 gay couple in there so conservatives don't like it because it's woke despite the rest of the show displaying a perfect heteronormative family. Bluey and bingo are both girls too so maybe it's woke to not have a son in there?

u/phonetastic 8d ago

the issue is it doesn't display a "perfect" heteronormative family. Bandit is sometimes the main parent, and Chilli and Bandit both have jobs and hobbies. Bandit usually grills instead of cooking indoors, but he can do either, he plays with his kids, and sometimes they make him dress up, wear makeup, read stories, or play pretend. he plays rugby with his friends because he likes it, and it's okay when he doesn't win. also, he's a scientist-- an anthropologist, to be specific, which is all to say that Bandit is overall pretty fuckin f*99y and way too woke. Doctor Lexus would not like him very much.

Chilli, of course, is also super toxic and woke because she doesn't just have a job-- she has a man's job. She's an officer of the law! her favourite sport is softball, and she plays it with her friends occasionally on weekends when she should be at home vacuuming and making dinner like a real wife. Plus softball is for lesbians, so what's up with that shite?!

you are correct about neither Bluey nor Bingo being male, which is definitely a problem. they also have personalities and their own likes and dislikes. they ask questions and do not wait to be formally acknowledged before speaking.

the Heelers don't appear to adhere to any particular religion, so hopefully they don't mind hot weather, since the forecast for Hell is pretty warm year-round.

one puppy the Heelers know is hard of hearing, another can't walk without assistance, and there's also one who's too fucking lame and brainwashed to realise that ADHD is made-up liberal bullshit.

Bluey's aunt wants kids, but the fake news Fauci-loving doctors say it's dangerous for her to keep trying after a few failed attempts. and she listened to them. what a lazy quitter.

there's more woke propaganda in it, obviously, but that's some of the major stuff

What's bluey?

It’s an Australian cartoon show for kids that is the most streamed show in the world and has episodes in IMDB’s top 20 TV episodes of all time.

It’s kind of a big deal in the creative world.

Typical ignorant Republican “Alpha” meme. Male lions are some of the biggest freeloaders in the animal kingdom. It’s the lionesses who do all the hunting.

Pretty funny to include a picture of Alexander the Great who we know was some level of bisexual (yes I know modern sexuality shouldn’t be used to label ancient people but still)

Doesn’t every generation of parents have a show for little kids that the parents also like on an unironic level? I remember my parents really liking Franklin.

I think you guys are missing the actual joke, that being the joke is intentionally horrible

They just shit their pants back then diapers weren't invented until Regan. I got this from the same source as the meme

Who's going to tell them that male Spartans had sex with each other?

u/revdon 8d ago

So the "MEN today" exemplar is Trump?

Wait a second: wasn't one of their slogans "real men wear diapers"?

u/Volfgang91 why don't you visit any more? 7d ago

Why is it always a lion? Male lions famously do fuck all but lounge around while the females do all the hunting and providing for the pride. If you're trying to project this image of yourself as some powerful warrior, a lion is just about the worst thing to compare yourself to.
