The messy room episode would have been done much better if Chip's younger brother accidentally broke a toy he left out. It would be a natural consequence of not putting his toys away. Instead, the show has the PARENTS intentionally break his things so he learns that disobedience will be punished with the destruction of his belongings.

[@Thunderwolf4]

What..... Oh no... This show is something else. Poor kids.

[@ScooterinAB]

The lesson is all about fear and control, not learning consequences. Chip should pick up his toys because I said so, not because this has anything to do with cleaning up.

What really makes this ripoff unnecessary is that I've never seen any conservative parents call bluey "woke", yet apparently the people at daily wire thought that there should be a conservative alternative to the show

[@ScooterinAB]

Everything is "woke," because people using that term are doing the very thing they criticize: being offended by everything. The people behind this are looking for a way to make fearmongering and bigotry ok, and are offended that these are no longer acceptable in the modern day. They call everything "woke" because they have no argument against anything.

[@StarshineStranger]

Yeesh. That Chip Chilla episode about cleaning up your room and how it contrasted with the Bluey episode reminded me of an old Bernstein Bears book/episode about the same subject. The cubs wouldn't keep their pigsty of a room clean, and Mama Bear got so fed up that she got a big box, wrote "Trash" on it, and stomped into the cubs' room and started throwing everything she got her hands on into the box while Brother and Sister pleaded with her to stop and yelled for help, getting the attention of Papa Bear who was outside in his shop. Papa sprinted into the house and sat everyone down for a serious talk. He made it clear Mama had gone too far in trying to throw all the cubs' toys away, but also Brother and Sister had to take better care of their living space, because it wasn't fair to Mama to make her have to clean everything, but it wasn't fair to the *cubs* to live in such a pig pen. He offered to make the cubs multiple toy boxes and peg boards to organize their toys, games, and collections, and the episode closed with a montage of Brother and Sister working very hard to clean their room, putting their stuff in all the boxes Papa had made for them, and yes, even throwing some of their broken or unneeded things away in Mama's trash box. Even that is a much more balanced and nuanced approach to the subject than the Chip Chilla episode. Talk about a terrible moral, goodness.

[@dalekrenegade2596]

I very rarely watched that show as a kid but I do recall that bit.

[@fablethewolf825]

That episode only got the flak it did because it seemed like Mama's rage was out of nowhere and over-the-top. The book devotes a couple of pages to explain that Mama has had to clean the cubs' messes countless times over the years, with the cubs often promising it wouldn't happen again, a promise that was never fulfilled. It came off as less pointlessly cruel and more like the final straw.

What's even funnier about Chip Chilla's use of history + novels to teach morals is that there's ANOTHER kid's show with a main character dog that already did it better. Wishbone was an old PBS show (though it's live action with all but the titular dog being humans) that used classic literature and historical figures to teach a lesson to kids. The thing is, Wishbone was clearly for older children/preteens who would be able to understand these complex themes and sources.

[@RoyG.BivDevoe]

I was getting ready to say this, Wishbone taught so much about history, mythology, and theater in the form of storytelling that was used in conjunction with learning valuable life lessons. Another show that also did this pretty well but in a different form of learning was Between The Lions, they taught about vocabulary, literature, spelling, writing, and many many others such as: cliffhangers, soliloquy, tongue twisters, school and nursery rhymes, poetry, etc. Then they would apply some of those as a plot device to learn a valuable lesson and problem solving.

[@roarinfireball]

The best thing is that Bluey wasn’t made for a target audience. There’s a reason adults watch it, and it’s because it’s neither annoying for adults. Plus it’s a good role model for all ages.

@@92JazzQueenThe reason kids get “offended over everything ” is because they don’t know how to properly respond to these emotional stimuli. It’s not fair to dismiss a child coming to their parent for emotional support when something happens that upsets them. Parents should help a child learn to respond and adapt to these situations.

[@lalalachris]

The “breaking everything you have/love cause you don’t do one thing” is common in these households. And what the show didn’t cover was 1) the emotional toll of destroying the sentimental toys and 2) the parents refusing to take on any burden of replacing things, even to a small extent All that episode is going to do is affirm to kids that it’s normal for parents to break your stuff when they are angry

[@vixxcelacea2778]

Conservative parenting is about control, the same way they want to do the same to the rest of the world. It's insecurity. Domination, control and obedience that is unquestioning. It's why they hate teenagers more than anything. Because teen years are meant to challenge status quo to find their voice. They use fear, not love to convince people of things.

[@CuteCuteJames]

And by extension, "when you become an adult, you should do the same."

[@NachoCheeseDorito-Kun]

I think my parents broke something of mine once. And it was completely on accident. My dad accidentally knocked over a Zelda model I had painstakingly handpainted, airbrushed, and assembled. I was considering selling it, it came out so nicely compared to my others. A lot if the pegs for assembly broke and shattered beyond repair. Accidentally breaking it didn't hurt, because it was completely unintended, but what DID hurt was he caused damage to property I _made_ and was _going to sell_ and didn't offer to help or even help me find a new one to make. I didn't even want him to replace it, just to help me _find_ another kit. My mom wouldn't even toss my _broken_ transformers, would ask me if I was sure I still needed them. I cannot IMAGINE the absolute permanent fear of losing a belonging to doing anything wrong. Or imagine wanting to do that to someone else.

I felt so bad for our nephew… if he left anything on the floor or out his mom would throw it away.

Given the publisher, it's really difficult not to see ulterior motives at work here.

​@@Yomixx_AyomiThe most vocal conservatives are almost always highly religious. Seeing as the loudest people tend to get the most attention (even if that attention is negative), those with a religious ax to grind are just more likely to show up and get public attention, because the combination of both their strong political stances and their religious beliefs urges them to be the loudest people in the room. After all, they believe that not only are their political beliefs the only way forward, but that their religion is the most moral path (and possibly only), and therefore feel compelled to push their own agendas into the public eye. As an extra note: conservatism in the U.S. has long been wrapped up with religion (i.e. Christianity), as politically it helps them get as many supporters as possible. This is done in order to get political, legislative, and financial influence. Although conservatism and religion do not have a complete overlap in the U.S., they are highly related and one often brings the other along for the ride.

[@dalekrenegade2596]

Considering it's the daily wire, the actual moral is meant to be "don't report our shady activities".

[@Algebruh2407]

"Don't tattle" isn't a bad moral to teach kids. This show just implemented it so badly that it messed up the message. Tattling means to gossip or to report something to an authority figure that doesn't really require their help to resolve (often done to get the other person into trouble). The idea behind the message is to get kids to become resilient and to communicate more when other people do things they don't like rather than running to everyone else to fix the issue for them. The correct way to teach it is to say that they should try to tell people when they are doing something wrong or are hurting someone, and to tell a parent/ teacher for help if someone is in danger or they won't listen. Saying to only report "real news" not only butchers that message by oversimplifying it to what to report to authority figures, but leaves it up to the subjective whims of a small child. Like one child may think that their friends not wanting to play a game with them is something to that is "real news", while another can see someone being bullied and think that it is normal.

This really does not need to exist. A rip off of something super successful is unavoidable and to be expected, but the motives behind Chip Chilla's creation make no sense. There's nothing overtly "woke" about Bluey or it's morals, and not only is it so much better at teaching lessons to kids, but they're lessons that most anyone would agree are good for kids regardless of political standing. And by trying to focus more on Daily Wire's conservative views than teaching kids lessons, this imitation just ends up another run of the mill preschool show, and even botches some of the lessons it tries to teach.

What drives me insane is that Bluey isn’t political. It’s just, life. Sometimes people have dads who stay at home and moms who work. Dads get stressed and overwhelmed, moms need me time. Kids are people, who learn best when shown, not told. But conservatives are so adamant about policing society that they see some wholesome apolitical show like Bluey, and they throw a fit, because somehow it’s “woke”, when in reality I think they’re just mad that the kids are shown as people who deserve to make some choices and learn some lessons on their own. Instead in Chip Chilla, it’s all about parents forcing lessons on a child. Especially that room episode, the fact that the lesson is “do what we say or we’ll destroy your things” is a terrible lesson for kids. Because it doesn’t raise obedient children, it just makes the kids guarded, and sneaky with the things they love so you won’t destroy it. You shouldn't terrorize your children, i cant believe that that is somehow a political statement.

In Bluey, no one hurts one intentionally hurts another. Not emotionally or physically, especially Chilli and Bandit. And when it does inevitably happen, because, accidents happen, Chilli and Bandit take accountability and APOLOGIZE to their daughters. This show acknowledges the mistakes of parents and that despite mistakes, they're loving and capable. They put aside their pride, don't try and to make excuses and sincerely apologize for hurting them, even though it's not intentional. If a parent doesn't apologize to their child when they've hurt them, even when it's an accident, it hurts that child a second time. And even worse is how The Chillas punish, yes punish, not educate, their children. With just that summery of that Julius Cesar episode, I got flashbacks to my own upbringing of how my mother threw away toys, books, and stuffed animals during an argument. I've had my things I care about threatened and tossed out as punishments. It hurts and ultimately fixed nothing, it only forced a wedge into my relationship with my mom. I cannot believe they ruined their child's possessions and bullied him to manipulate him into cleaning his toys and frame it as a positive thing. Meanwhile, in say, Fairies, Bandit accidentally hurts Bingo's feelings because he was occupied and she wanted to show him a domino heart she made him. He doesn't lash out at her or scream, but is a little harsher with his tone and indicates she's being a bother to him. Bingo is so hurt by this and vents to CHILLI (the mom not really being a part of the story is something that really irks me because Chili is just as valuable as Bandit to the show,) Chili ultimately comes up with a game to bring up the problem to Bandit and Bandit takes a moment to apologize to Bingo, sincerely. He doesn't make excuses, tell her she shouldn't have felt that way, that she took it personally, or that she's overreacting or took it the wrong way. She was hurt, and that's enough. He reassures her, no matter what, that he loves her very much, and if he's ever accidentally hurt her feelings, he's sorry. That episode makes me tear up. The acknowledgement that you've hurt someone and apologizing for it, is so refreshing and reassuring. Bluey is kind, caring and reassuring, while being fun, FUNNY, and charming. It's artistically driven and brings good entertainment to children that their parents can also enjoy, and feel comforted by as well.

So what is my opinion on Chip Chilla? Well, I do GET where the Daily Wire is coming from... Despite what Saber is saying, Disney really IS trying to indoctrinate kids, it's not just a claim Daily Wire is claiming. Latoya Raveneau even said it in the leaked footage, so it's not like they are making it up, so in a nutshell, Daily Wire wants to make content that is free from any hidden agenda... but in turn, they probably are getting some extremely far-right writers that are creating the storyboard (Ben Shapiro and Jeremy Boreing didn't write or create it, they are just the executive producers for it), so that is why some of the morals in the episodes are extremely questionable. I think the crew at the Daily Wire just needs to be very careful of who they are hiring to write the show, because as somebody who watches a lot of Daily Wire, I can say a lot of them are not like that (Matt Walsh is a really loving and supportive father, and Brett Cooper is always very cheerful and nice to everybody she meets).

The average American child isn't taught to have any emotional maturity or even understand why they do anything they do, it's a very simple "do what I say or I will hurt you."

[@EverythingsComplicated]

the difference in parenting styles between Bluey and Chip Chilla is the most notable aspect to me. Bluey, as mentioned, is about parents caring for their children and treating them as humans with emotions and logic and ability to understand, whilst also emphasising that parents are too. Children are important and influential and creative and want to do their own things and should be encouraged. Chip Chilla, and conservatives in general, are more invested in children being obedient just because parents have power over them: children should be led in all theings by the Master Of The House (i.e. dad, not even mother who needs to be subservient to the father), children need their autonomy destroyed and emotional harm to come to them if they defy their superiors. The messaging of Bluey uplifts children and adults/parents, whereas the messaging of Chip Chilla only serves to make both sides more miserable. (also the level of irony in saying that 'reporting things that aren't important or aren't good is just tattling and therefore bad' is off the charts)

Are conservatives actually just teenagers? Prone to peer pressure, group think and rebellion for the sake of it as a reaction to a stifled controlled environment trying to find their own voice?

The kids are allowed to be happy and carefree, they are allowed to love each other when every damn siblings in kids shows are boiled down to hating each other. The tattle episode makes me so sad because that poor little girl is being alienated and ostracized for telling the truth, they terrorize the child before telling her that somethings wrong. It feels so reminiscent of many painful childhoods that many of us grown adults are still hurting from.

As an American, on behalf of Americans with common sense. We. Do. NOT. Claim.this. shit. 😭 I love bluey and i know ripoffs are a sign of a great media but i hope daily wire gets sued into the ground or the show bankrupts.

[@jan_Eten]

yeah

[@ThereAreThoseWhoCallMeTim]

I despise Chip Chilla, the Daily Wire, and reactionary conservatives just as much as you do. But you do not speak for all Americans, even all Americans with “common sense”. You speak only for yourself. Please don’t put words into other people’s mouths without their consent.

[@ThereAreThoseWhoCallMeTim]

If Ludo Studios were to sue DailyWire over Chip Chilla, it would only make Bluey look bad and Chip Chilla look good. Even though I do agree that CC is a rip-off, I highly doubt that an actual legal case could be made for DW to be found guilty of plagiarism. This isn’t like Miracle Star or that Peppa Pig cartoon knock-off where the similarities are so obvious that you’d have to be blind to not notice them. The parallels between the two cartoons are waaaaaaay too subtle and small in number for a lawyer to be willing to take DW to court, let alone a judge to quickly say “oh yeah, 100% plagiarism there, case dismissed!”

[@blueflare3848]

As an American, I completely agree with you.

[@gilolaes4725]

Even before watching a frame of Chip Chilla, "Homeschooled kids with a stay at home mom" as the stated premise of a show is so laughably on the nose that many people would be able to guess that the show has a conservative bent from that alone.

[@juliangandara9552]

That's a red flag to me

[@gurun8071]

Idk sounds like a cute premise tbh

[@DISTurbedwaffle918]

The premise is viable, but the execution is laughable. Wouldn't expect the Daily Wire to put out anything of real value. They basically exist to make conservatives look bad.

[@EL-uj1pl]

@@DISTurbedwaffle918Except conservatives eat up everything they say.. even going so far as to threaten the people or groups they are told to hate. They're basically just typical Republican figures now, with how absurd and horrific that party has grown.

"Omg how dare you represent a traditional nuclear family with a loving and caring stay-at-home mother and homeschooling done by loving and caring parents in the comfort of home instead of complete, uninterested strangers in a prison-like environment! So ist, so phobic!"

[@thatmomentwhen345]

It speaks volumes that their idea of “protecting the kids” is absolving parents of all wrongdoing and telling their kids how to feel. They want their kids to worship them but it’s almost always just going to make kids more rebellious. They’re going to get the opposite of what they want.

[@alexslusher16]

The silver lining here is the conservatives trying to drill this idea in their kids wilL rebel against them.

[@tourmelion9221]

​@alexslusher16 mate, who asked?

[@Pinka13]

I love how they found a relatively normal "ch" name for the main character, yet they just made up random words for the other characters. Seriously, there are plently of names that start with "ch" they could've used. *There's:* Champ Chance Charity Charlie/Charles Charlotte (more of an "sh" sound, but still) Chase Chad/Chadwick Chandler/Chandley Chanelle Chanette Chaplin Chastity Chauncey Chaz Chelsea Chloe Chris/Christian/Christopher/Christina Cheyenne Chevy Cherish Chuck ---- And that's not even all of the examples I could find! Did the creators just not look up any other similar names past the main character??

[@egg_bun_]

I didn't even think about that, but you're absolutely right 😂

[@luckyinky7849]

Would Chloe still work even if it's pronounced "Klowey"?

[@tonywebert8326]

They found Chili lol

[@shadestained]

'charla' actually is a name, but it's one that hasn't seen significant use in ≈ 50 years. no explanation/excuses for the rest, though

[@TinyFoxTom]

Chinchillas poop hundreds of times a day. Since that doesn't happen in the show, Chip Chilla is full of shit.

[@royalibis42]

One of my favourite thing's about Bluey is that even the background characters have lives, Cornelius (Winton the bulldog's dad) is divorced and has been hinted at having a break-up during the show as well, his current love interest is the Terrier's Mum. I highly recommend looking at the background characters part of the fandom wiki!

[@EMLtheViewer]

Here replying after The Sign. Turns out that subtle background arc was one small yet critical cog in a complex plot that made everything come together in the end. That’s some real setup and payoff.
