dank memes

Rules:

  1. All posts must be memes and follow a general meme setup.

  2. No unedited webcomics.

  3. Someone saying something funny or cringe on twitter/tumblr/reddit/etc. is not a meme. Post that stuff in /c/slop

  4. Va*sh posting is haram and will be removed.

  5. Follow the code of conduct.

  6. Tag OC at the end of your title and we'll probably pin it for a while if we see it.

  7. Recent reposts might be removed.

  8. Tagging OC with the hexbear watermark is praxis.

  9. No anti-natalism memes. See: Eco-fascism Primer

I've never seen Bluey, not because I'm against cartoons, but because I'm skeptical that anything Australian can be good

It’s kind of the exception that proves the rule. The government of Australia saw such a need to teach their constituents to be kind to their kids that they commissioned hours and hours of animated content about it.

Actually the Australia government completely whiffed it, to try and save money it's was co-creation with the BBC who put some money up at the start and gets an enormous cut for doing nothing.

Australia has a surprisingly good track record when it comes to kids tv shows. They almost always have messages about being kind, caring, sharing, helping and loving each other. The bad guy, if there is one, usually ends up being a rich businessman too. Of course they dont mention capitalism or communism or anything, but it definitely got young me hating all corporations

Australian TV is great in general, probably because they're one of the only places that still has well funded national broadcasting (that isnt fully bought out by capitalist interests like the BBC is now) and actually has good funding for the arts. New zealand has some banger shows too.

And about the values of living with your weird single dad in a lighthouse.

I don't blame people for not liking them for a number of variable reasons, but I think King Gizzard is pretty fun and they're Australian

[–] Dort_Owl@hexbear.net 5 points 4 days ago

Ahh, you got me there. I like them too.

Steve Irwin was good sadness

Oh man, don't you'll make me cry. He's half the reason I got into Ecology.

Reject Bluey supremacy, return to Feral TV monke-return
