The Bluey Controversy

Bluey isn't just a hit series on Disney Plus that won over the hearts of millions, it's also apparently the center of some cartoon controversy after a recent special episode, The Sign, generated some discourse on Twitter. On one side, people are mad the episode didn't have Bluey, Bingo, Chili and Bandit move out from their home as they think it might send a bad message to kids. On the other side, people are just mad that a wholesome kids show is getting praise and attention. Both of these seem pretty silly, so as someone who isn't super invested in Bluey, I wanna throw my two cents in!

"THE HOES WATCH CARTOONS, DUMMY!!!" is the funniest clap back I have heard in a long time

Are...are we forgetting how much of a global phenomenon Friendship is magic was? It created a new breed of fans!

[nerdgeekman]

It’s a sad world we live in when people hate a wholesome show such as Bluey. I hope to god that Twitter doesn’t find out about Mr Rogers’ Neighborhood.

Bingo's IDGAF attitude towards moving (until the very end when she realized what it meant) was the highlight of the episode for me 😂

[DudesOnline]

Bluey having controversy is the most unrealest thing ever,

[donovan]

Of all the shows to receive toxicity for stupid reasons, Bluey was not on my Bingo card (no pun intended btw)… and it’s messed up.
First off, Vox is right, y’all need fucking hobbies if you’re giving grief to people watching these shows WITH THEIR KIDS! Secondly, do you understand the nostalgia people have to rewatch kids shows from the 2000s and 2010s?! PAW Patrol and MLP:FiM took the world over, kids and adults love them, and I don’t see them losing steam for a while. It’s drives me batshit crazy to find people trying to slander some of the most harmless things, especially most kids shows that are (A) not meant to be taken all that seriously and/or (B) have genuine care for the demographic and the parents interested…

If adults want to watch a kids show let them do it without being mad about it

[arrowentertainment]

I´m just going to say this:

WHO TF CARES ABOUT IF AN ADULT WATCHES A PRESCHOOL SHOW? JUST LEAVE PEOPLE DO THEIR LIVES.

No good deed goes unpunished. Besides. Bandit realized this would screw up Chilis support system and that everyone Bluey knew was in this town. The pay rise wasn't enough.

My Dad joined the military when i was only a few months old. I spent my whole childhood leaving everything and everyone i knew behind every few years.
To me, the finale was a childhood wish come true, and it was so sweet to be able to watch Bluey and Bingo get to do what i never got to and stay in the home they loved

[kidfury]

Now, I won’t stand for any Bluey slander

[theGreenGoblin]

It’s a wholesome show for young children, that parents enjoy and find the characters compelling as the dynamics correlate to the audience.

Who’s honestly beefing with Bluey? That just seems mean and petty. 🤷🏽‍♂️🤨

[The_badussy]

There's no way a show about silly dogs is controversial bro 💀

[jhlxmic]

the fact how it's hard to adjust after moving and yet it's hard for me to make friends let alone find a new girlfriend and yet Bluey manages to help with the grief

[BluffsCastle]

Matt Walsh says it’s embarrassing for adults to watch Bluey, he’s just mad that the Daily Wire’s Chip Chilla is nowhere near as popular or liked as Bluey. Plus, I’d be more embarrassed at Matt Walsh putting a self-insert of himself into his anti-trans “children’s” book

[voiceunderthecovers]

Bluey is rubbing shoulders with Breaking Bad in terms of quality. I mean that.

[loganentertainment]

The problem is that people always want their expectations to be met, but when it isn’t met, people get all pissed off, or they just act all pissed off because they have nothing better to do with their life. 🙄🤦‍♂️
