Current Events > That new Bluey special had me in tears

(+) Yeah! (+)

I didn't know they had specials. I'm mainly going through it with my kid when I can, on Disney+

I need to give this show a try.

I need to give this show a try.

it's good but it's so obviously a show for toddlers I can't imagine anyone without kids (or young niblings) getting anything out of it

Thats just not true. This isnt blues clues or dragon tales. This is a show that speaks to people of all ages, because it does an amazing job of making you relate to every character in the show.

it seems like it would speak to adults who have/have had kids

childless adults watching this blatant toddler show is weird af to me. there is stuff in there for adults and it's high quality entertainment for children, but it's not really all that different from sesame street in that respect imo

Well thats very judgy and snobby of you, but thats nothing new with you

I just dont get what childless adults get from this show and how its built a fandom with that audience. The things in it that are for adults, are directly about parenting and the experience of raising a toddler

i cant imagine recommending this show to anyone outside of the context of its great to watch with your kids

Okay

please give me a list of other media I cant recommend unless Im in a specific group, just so I know for later

Just giving another perspective for a user that posted about it. They might be expecting like a Pixar-like appropriate for all ages thing. This isnt that. This is very squarely a show with a 2-5 year old intended audience, and their parents

That's a lie, we get one good show ayear in a good year.

Anyway wha's wrong with adults watching Bluey? You're acting like they are doing something immoral. It is not your place to tell people how to spend their free time.

People are always upset about others enjoying something that they "aren't supposed to"
Same shit that happened with MLP, with the only difference being that MLP genuinely made people angry

making a likeness to bronies is not a comparison i'd like if i was a bluey fan lmfao

bizarre amount of infantilized adults that insist on wanting children's cartoons and animation to be taken seriously

Same shit that happened with MLP, with the only difference being that MLP genuinely made people angry

I remember seeing a clip from the show and it was basically about infertility and people that have to go through that while also wanting to have kids themselves.

Just from that I feel like this show was meant to be watched by the whole family together because the adult and kids both get something out of it, but I can also see either demographic watching it on their own time as well.

Yesh, thats what makes it different than a show that has random adult jokes hidden in a kids show. It actually has adults going through adult situations

in five-seven minute episodes. A lot of very grown up things are implied, including things like miscarriages and vasectomies.

Nobody particularly cared about them liking MLP.

Spreading around how much they wanted to fuck a cartoon pony, that was pretty much why bronies got the treatment they did.

That wasn't until later
I'm talking about the very start of it becoming popular.
People kept posting reaction images, and it made 4chan users upset, people recognized that it made them upset, and then started doing it to continue making people upset.

Who gives a fuck what 4chan users find upsetting?

Look man, I'm just saying that was why it started to get popular in the first place

You should look deep within yourself and ask why you know what's happening at 4chan

Because I was frequenting it back then :V
