Yes pandering is relative. So the GP was happy with a show that was relevant to his family. Yeah I think we're on the same page.
It's almost like people just want to be upset about how other people are living their lives for some reason.
There's plenty of "woke" stuff to enjoy if you want to live life that way.

Is it pandering? None of those things are rare, and I'd be surprised to find out any significant portion of the population wouldn't encounter them in their own school. It's literally just a representation of the real world. I guess preparing children for the world that exists is "woke" or something.
Bluey prepares kids more for the real world more than the corporate HR messages the US shows have. It's not about checking diversity boxes, it's about handling your emotions. And yes, we're all tired of "woke" shit, that's not the real world, but it tries to parade as it is.
A kid in a wheelchair. Another with mild autism. Another whose being raised by the grandparents because her mother is a drug addict. Another with pretty severe alopecia (this being her "best friend"). One of her other friends has been very sad because her aunt was killed in Israel.
This is all "real world". And it affects us despite it not happening to our family. At least not yet.

Yup, just let people enjoy Bluey and live their own lives. There's plenty of "woke" stuff to enjoy if you want to live life that way.

Oh, believe me, gay and trans furries love Bluey. It's pretty much our fav thing, it's so insanely popular with the LGBT+ crowd.

Ok? My Little Pony was in the same boat. Doesn't really change anything.
Was it pandering when My Little Pony had a lesbian couple?

> The show unashamedly depicts an intact household with two loving, heterosexual parents. It's "stunning and brave" in the current culture. Eh? I'm trying to think of peer shows of Bluey... Peppa Pig and Daniel Tiger come to mind (Trash Truck anyone? Charming little show), heterosexual parents are by far and away the norm. The idea that it's "brave" to show them feels like a conservative talking point that's out of s…
Never seen Daniel Tiger, but Peppa Pig makes the Dad the butt of the joke and portrays him as the overconfident idiot in pretty much every story, while all moms are always infallible. It's not something that kids might consciously notice, but it's grating and not what I'd exactly call a positive message.

It's insanely popular and I certainly don't want to stop anyone from enjoying it :) Was it pandering when My Little Pony had a lesbian couple?
For me it depends on how it's presented. The characters shouldn't announce what they like to fuck. That's jarring, pandering, and very inappropriate.
No idea how it was portrayed so I can't say.

'Onesies' and 'Babyrace' are also highly emotional episodes. Onesies is, hidden for children, about the inability to conceive children, not being able to deal with your relatives' children; 'Babyrace' is about the doubt all parents have about their parenting ('You're doing great' is aimed directly at the audience)
Baby Race reduces me to tears every time.

Never watched it, my point was another group enjoying something doesn't really effect what another group gets out of it. For me it depends on how it's presented. The characters shouldn't announce what they like to fuck. That's jarring, pandering, and very inappropriate. No idea how it was portrayed so I can't say.
Has that happened in a kids show you've seen?

They will find out that out on their own, without the help of kid shows.
I have no idea what the character's sexual preferences are and I don't want to know.
Curiously, how was it presented that they were lesbian, and who was lesbian? One of the ponies? lol.
