@BowsacNoodle @William_The_Dragonborn I’ve seen a bit of Bluey, family members have thrown it on for the kids when I’ve been around, and it always made me sick to my stomach. For a while I tried to figure out why: ”mom and dad are different colors, is this supposed to be a race mixing thing?” I thought, but no that’s overthinking it, it’s just cartoon language. “is it subversive to have the dad be the nurturer and the mom be the provider, the inverse of historical norms?” maybe a little bit but that’s hardly a terrible crime when the norm for zog media is total denigration of the father. I eventually decided that it really is (or now was) a wholesome show, but I still hated it, because, like a stepdad that comes home and beats his wife and stepchildren every night, zog media, ESPECIALLY animation and ESPECIALLY animation for children has been so bad for so long that I can’t feel anything positive even when it’s good, like the one day in months when the stepfather comes home bringing flowers for the wife and presents for the children instead of beating them black and blue. am I supposed to be impressed?
