I can’t believe you didn’t mention the episode where Bandit tries to kill Bingo and then sends Bluey to live in the desert because she’s the product of his infidelity and Chilly can’t stand the sight of her…
Thank you, Jeremy! Very thought provoking. Honestly, because I've found Bluey to be such a funny show, and because it is not the bumbling father stereotype, I probably would have never realized how this is still presenting a vision of fatherhood that is not ideal. I first heard you mention this on the "Dad Tired" podcast and I've been thinking about it since. Much appreciated!
