I believe most MAGAs only first heard of Bluey when an episode was removed by Disney distribution for showing the father taking on a mother’s responsibilities to show his kids.
But it is a seriously heart felt and well written program for children. It actually fun to watch compared to children’s programs PBS has produced recently.
The dad is the real hero of that show. Well, for me at least.
Bluey was first recommended to me by a dad of a then 5yo, and like the one in the show he was very enthusiastic about playing an emotionally honest and complete role in his child's life, as well as messing up sometimes or, well, being a bit of a child himself.
I remember one episode of the first 2 seasons where he played with his kids too rough and didn't even notice until the younger one started crying, then he apolgized and they resolved the situation. These moments make Bluey stand out sky high against most other content kids in that age bracket are offered.
Seriously, what does MAGA have against Bluey? It shows them what it's really like to be pro children & family.
It shows them what absolute shit fathers they are by comparison. And it shows their kids that healthier parenting styles exist.
It's harder to continue abusing someone once they learn the abuse isn't "normal," and that they're not just being "ungrateful," "spoiled," "problematic," or "entitled" whenever they complain about the abuse or ask for a basic need to be met.
yes, this is exactly what I meant
I believe that episode was Dadbaby. Bandit pretends to be pregnant and ends up "giving birth" to Bingo. It's fucking hilarious and Disney are a bunch of small-dicked fuckwits for removing it. They have also removed quite a few small scenes from other episodes too, such as a horse taking a dump at the Market.
Get a VPN, go to abc.net.au/iview, sign up for free and stream the episodes as they were meant to be seen.
I need tosee that episode because that sounds extremely wholesome.
Season 2, episode 13, dad baby.
Not available on Disney+, readily available on the high seas.
Amazing episode.
Wait...THAT episode was removed?? What the fuck? There's absolutely nothing wrong with it. It was a dad playing, yet again, pretend with his kids in the Bluey way. Disney, as always, can go fuck right off.
yup... supposedly it was because they have "strict guidelines" surrounding birth and body themes.
Family meeting (fluffy episode of season 3) wasn't on right away, and they have also modified some specific sound effects related to things like bathroom noises and such.
Just..wow. Welp, if ever I needed a good reason to go buy the physical copies, it would be this right here. Assuming the dvd release doesn't have any of that bs censorship.
Thank you!
For the record - I highly recommend all of them.
The emotional depth on some episodes is staggering. They cover a lot more than you'd expect in a kids show, and with thought and care.
Yup, bought the Blu-ray set for ~$35 so I could have a hard copy, the show deserves it.
Isn't that like... a trope done on like every beloved sitcom Including the Brady Bunch?
It was more specific than that. It was the dad pretending to be pregnant and give birth.
Wait, Disney pulled that episode? What for? He just carries his kid around in a papoose and pretends to be pregnant because it's a fun game for the kids.
Because the US has a bunch of delusional fundies in it who unironically think kids should be told babies are delivered by storks? 🤷
Right, I forgot that there's a whole lot of people who just lie to their kids for no real reason.
The answer to that is always the same, has been for 10 years.
We just put it on the pile. Forget nothing. For later. Hopefully.
I think that happened on Full House
