Someone saw how amazing and loving the Heeler family was and decided "this makes me mad, I'm going to make an intolerant version of this that fits my world view!". Not to mention I can't remember politics ever even coming up in bluey when I watch it with my kids.

Like every work of art, it’s full of politics:
- an equal-rights relationship, where both parents take responsibility for their children and housework
- children who are accepted like they are
- inclusive schools/kindergartens
- themes that touch on preserving nature, helping the disadvantaged and more
No wonder it triggers right-wingers.
Not to mention, it even caters to actual dogs! The colour scheme used was designed to only use colours that dogs can see.
I never heard that before. Very cool!
It's one of those fake TikTok "facts" that's only kind of true. The Heelers are blue/orange, which does work decently well with Deuteranopia (red-green color blindness), and is closest to what dogs' vision is like. But it's mostly just a coincidence, and there's plenty of cases where scenes really don't work well if you run them through a Deuteranopia filter, and Chili/Bingo really blend into the background a lot of the time.

Everyone knows the dad is supposed to come home angry about what he's listened to all day about the left, beat his wife and kids mercilessly to show them who's really in charge, and not engage in any meaningful way with them at all before passing out drunk.
It's as American as apple pie!

At this point, anything they call "the left" just seems like normal, rational, human-being stuff. Did nobody share their cookie with them in kindergarten? Are they still angry about that?
Whenever they say “woke” I filter it in my mind to “being a reasonable person.”
whenever they say "woke" it's generally in the context of accepting that a black person or woman is currently speaking.

Sharing cookies is beta male wokeness!

This is what happens once conservative politics has degenerated to literally “I’m an asshole, and there’s nothing you can do about it”, to crude dominance displays, performative cruelty and rolling coal. Not that it was much better, but at least the assholery used to need some sort of high-minded, principled rationalisation, rather than being self-justifying.
Self-justified assholery, or at least not caring if you're being an asshole, would be an improvement, at least it's a consistent world view based on self interest (see: Max Stirner and egoism). They'd still be assholes, but I can at least respect the owning up to it.
When you think you're justified in being an asshole because you're not actually an asshole you're great actually it's those scary people who are coming here to attack you and your sacred way of life, that is definitely not made up and you're entitled to, who are wrong, you're just defending yourself and your people (you're a hero actually), that's when you start buying alpha male supplements and yelling at cartoon dogs.
They are trying to ruin Bluey? Australia's second greatest cultural export? Is nothing sacred any more?
It's pathetic how they are not making shows out of love, but out of spite.

Have you ever seen a line which is immediately apparent as pure, distilled truth? homeschooling being a common tactic among conservatives to indoctrinate their children into Christian nationalism fits the bill.
Can confirm. Was Christian homeschooled. Learned nothing useful outside of the Bible and a weirdly curated list of other topics. Physics, but not biology. And exclusively America/Christian centric history.

As an Australian I can confirm I have nfi what the daily wire's bluey knock off is
As an American, from the Daily Wire's home country, neither do I. And I don't have a young child, but I know who Bluey is.
As another Australian, I think Disney needs to beat the living shit out of them with a DMCA hammer.

Amazing self-own admitting that the internet and public schools are your ideological enemies:
According to Boreing: “Kids go to school for 40 hours a week and then they engage in pop culture for 40 more hours every week. That means for 80 hours of a child’s week, you are turning them over to the left. A good parent might spend 15 minutes a day in meaningful conversation with their kids … A great parent might take their kid to church for one hour, or two hours, or three hours a week. The other 80, they’re watching Disney … they’re online … they’re in public schools.”
Even their non-political statements are political. I hate that some people don’t see through this shit:
In a video statement on Monday marking Bentkey’s launch, Boreing said: “Bentkey isn’t about teaching kids politics, it’s about childhood and wonder and adventure. It’s about values and all of the things on which politics are built later.”

In case didn’t already hate Ben Shapiro by now, the dude hates Bluey
BLUEY
It really doesn’t get any sadder than this
Not only does he hate Bluey, he hates Bluey so much that he decided to spend a substantial amount of money to make Not-Bluey.
I just found another, more detailed article about the show. Rob Schneider is starring in it, so you know it's good.
In the first picture in this article they’re clearly cooking on an electric stove. Weren’t electric stoves supposed to be woke?
Rob Schneider
Ewww. I remembered he exists.
Rob Schneider, the guy who starred in an entire movie with the plot being him having swapped minds with a woman and being stuck in her body? That Rob Schneider?
Yes, and many other terrible films. Often with Adam Sandler.
By the way, he also wrote The Hot Chick.

I wonder how successful these counter mainstream efforts will be. There's a market for crazy Christian movies etc, I imagine there will be a similar one for parents terrified of reality.
Yeah, but Bluey? That's like being terrified of Mr. Rogers. This is a failure for the same reason it would be a failure if you decided Mr. Rogers wasn't mean enough so you made your own show with a similar guy but mean.
Oh if Mr Rogers was current he would have been seen as incredibly "woke". This is the man who during the civil rights discourse decided that kids needed to see black people as less scary and capable of authority so they implemented the character of Officer Clemmons. There is a famous clip of him offering Officer Clemmons a chance to cool his feet in the same wading pool he's using because out in the world there was a massive push to keep public pools segregate and conservative nutjobs were throwing caustics into pools that didn't comply and telling their kids that black people were dirty.
They would have been screaming for an end to Rogers " woke SJW tyranny".
...and this is very likely the last time you'll ever hear about Chip Chilla.
Lessons from chilli.
Don't hold hands with the gerbils chilli, they'll make you dirty.
No, you see chilli, your friend goes to school hungry because their father doesn't work hard enough, they deserve it.

I think the biggest thing is these people feel threatened. Blueys parents are better parents than they ever will be. All i can think k about is the episode Flatpack where bandit says, “I’m not taking advice from a cartoon dog”.
His parents are definitely better than me. There's no way I can devote that much energy to parenting while holding a full time job. I wish I could, but that's not the world we live in.
Anything Republicans make will be cringe propaganda
I understand the Australians.
Can someone sue on behalf of all chinchillas for the show being derogatory to all chinchillas?
The sheer audacity of the chinchillas lacking hispanic accents. Did no-one working for the show look up where chinchillas are from?
Which is more offensive: that none of the chinchillas have Latin accents, or that the father is voiced by Rob Fucking Schneider?

this reminds me of when my parents got us mail order vhs tapes from feature films for families and came across a movie called the buttercream gang and was supposed to hate the kid pete who joined a gang in chicago (lol not too obvious, especially since he was latino) and basically thought he was the coolest and i wanted to be his friend so much :P
