Twelve by Pies posted:When Glenn Beck was discussing the cuts on his show, he said the cuts to public broadcasting were good, because Sesame Street makes a ton of money off merchandise sales. They'll never run out of money and so taxpayers shouldn't be funding it. He also said that because of pledge drives and the fact that NPR had all the number one podcasts, that NPR has a ton of money and we don't need to fund it either. Literally the only reason Sesame Street is so appropriate for children is that it doesn't feel compelled to pander to toy companies, like corporate children's media does.  These people won't be satisfied until there's a gritty Sesame Street reboot in theaters directed by Michael Bay, will they?

But they don't write the shows specifically *for* merch. I watch a lot of PBS stuff with my toddler and I have noticed something that obviously would annoy any conservatives who watch the shows: the shows are very liberal. They have a lot of messages that would make a Republican vomit, like the episode where Daniel Tiger discusses why some people have different skin colours and some people are disabled and some people are tigers and it's all OK. This is the sort of message that, ingrained in a child's brain, would make them harder to convince that hatred and prejudice is natural and good when they grow up.

Dora is a little communist who leads elves to collectively bargain and rise up against their evil owl master. Blaze and the Monster Machines is full of STEM buzzwords but it's always about teamwork and playing fair. The Octonaut's have some sort of military hierarchy going on but they're just scientific researchers. I'm just saying it's not limited to PBS at all. It's almost like republican ideals are terrible and would frighten children.

This one is called "The New Squirrel". Come with me on this magical adventure. There once was was a young squirrel named Ricky who lived in a big oak tree in a city park. Ricky was a brown squirrel and lived in the oak tree with all his brown squirrel friends and family. Every day, Ricky would look out from the top of his tree and wonder what kind of squirrels lived in the other trees. The older squirrels warned Ricky that the squirrels in other trees were thieves and liars. They were never to be trusted. Ricky had a rebellious heart and would not form his opinions based on anecdotal evidence. End of holotape. Please insert holotape 2.

The most Republican thing I have for my kid is a little Golden Book called "The Little Red Hen" in which a hen asks her lazy animal friends to help her bake bread and when they don't she eats it all herself instead of sharing because they don't deserve it. I think I could make a lot of money by making a complete kids' show with this sort of FYGM message, because all the other shows are all about sharing and poo poo and no doubt it makes Republicans mad if they ever stop to watch TV with their kids.

Oh poo poo! I remember that book. The line that sticks out to me most to this day is when the little red hen asks "And who will help me EAT the bread?" and all her friends say "I will" and then she goes "nope, because none of your helped make it." That always stuck to me as "why did you ask then? That seems mean."

I wonder if Trump would help me fund a PBS Show "Lil' libertarians" where a bunch of scrappy kids show up to problems and only help after being compensated adequately for their efforts.

Ruzihm posted:Worker refuses to be alienated from the product of her labor? That's much closer to the idea than "sharing is bad." The lesson for kids is "sharing is good, also labor is a thing to share just as much as material goods." Avenging_Mikon posted:And that's fine, but don't ASK people if they want any if you're not going to actually share! Just go ahead and keep it to yourself! drat bird. It's a story for children! You need to spell out for them the connection between refusing to help someone and them refusing to share the fruits of their labor in return! Seriously people, we made fun of Ted Cruz for missing the point of Green Eggs and Ham but some of y'all...

Ruzihm posted:Worker refuses to be alienated from the product of her labor? "Who will help me eat this bread?", said the little red hen. "Actually," began the fat capitalist pig, "all that bread belongs to me, so I will eat it and when I've had my fill you can have what's left." "But I worked hard to make this bread!," exclaimed the little red hen. "You see, my father's father was granted this land by the government after they drove off the original farmers. He started this farm and grew the first wheat. He became successful and built his own mill. He was able to hire people to farm his wheat for him. He passed on the farm to his son and when he died he passed it on to me. I have never planted the wheat, harvested it, ground it, or made it into bread, but I own all the value associated with each step. My grandfather took a risk starting this farm 100 years ago, and because I share his genes I and my sons are entitled to all the fruits of his labor for perpetuity." said the greedy capitalist pig. "Well since you own this farm, I am happy to give a part of this bread, but I need some so that my family can eat and continue to work on the farm." said the little red hen. "No, I get all the bread because I have more wealth than you. I know how much this bread is worth and how much you should get to survive. If you don't like how much bread I give you then go start your own farm. Be warned it will cost many loaves of bread to buy a farm, and you only get a very small portion of a loaf each day." said the greedy capitalist pig. "gently caress you!" said the little red hen

I think Shadowcatboy had a version of the Red Hen story. When it came time to eat the bread, the Dog pointed out "I forged the tools that cut the grain" the Donkey "I run and built the mill that made your flour" and the cat "I built the oven you used to bake it" then the Henn screamed they were communists.
