I heard about this cartoon. Why there seem to be a huge adult fanbase?

Arrested development.

It's very wholesome and endearing. One of those shows that parents enjoy, sometimes more than the kids. I very much recommend checking out this episode Disney refused to put on their platform.

It's a well-made episodic kids show that's as much about parenthood as it is childhood. The father (Bandit) is regarded as a good role model dad, who has an active, positive influence on his kids' lives. Usually it's by encouraging his kids' 'cheeky' side or imaginative behaviour. There are also episodes about loss or growing up. It's not unique in that regard, but compared to shows like Peppa Pig where the dad is a buffoon whose sole purpose in the show is to be ridiculed, it's a welcome change. I watch it with my niblings and it's fun. I wouldn't watch it otherwise.

Adult Bluey Fans being based for once

for once

Is there a fashy side to the fandom I'm unaware of?

[–] tombruzzo@hexbear.net 5 points 2 days ago

Not fash but probably more lib. I can see a through line of dog mom adult Disney fans becoming adult bluey fans once they finally have kids

Not specifically, it's just got a broad fan base that includes reactionaries. I believe this was posted in response to a bunch of anti-lgbtq drama in other bluey FB groups. The one I'm in is weed centered and chill. stalin-approval
