Ben Shapiro is mad that kids like a cartoon dog, so his company The Daily Wire is debuting a right-wing alternative.

    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.

          What aren’t they terrified of? But Rupert didn’t go so far as saying, “we need to make the anti-Bluey now!”

          Giving kids conditional love is how you get narcissists. Kids need to receive unconditional love in order to develop an intrinsic sense of self worth. You need to tell them they’re special. If you tell them they need to be perfect in order to receive love, they’ll develop a self-perfection complex and be narcissists.

        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".
