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

    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.

            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.
