You must understand, the culture war types are so absurdly radical that BEN SHAPIRO's adult cartoon was considered "woke" because it had a gay character who was the butt of every joke, and that was not harsh enough to satisfy them.

They do not want LGBTQ people to be acknowledged in any way, or be allowed to exist.

They would ban the Golden Girls if they could. They WILL try.

So I was curious and went searching, and I assume you mean the animated "Chip Chilla" series which has drawn some unflattering comparisons with Bluey.

However I didn't find that particular character or critique, maybe somebody else will have better luck.


The show is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mr._Birchum

It was produced by DailyWire+, which is a media firm founded by Ben Shapiro.

It only made 6 episodes because the market it shot for, right wing people who hate "woke" rejected it. There is plenty of market for those people consuming what is essentially ragebait and hate content.

They don't seem to want to consume actual media though. Right wing grifters have been trying to target them for a while with "alternative" content, but they don't actually want to enjoy anything. They just want to watch Ben Shapiro tell them that woke is bad, liberals are evil, and "Go woke go broke".

This is the same market that Russia Today was paying hundreds of thousands of dollars to people like Tim Pool to shout at.

Ironically the reception seems to be it could be an average show if it wasn't so intent on yelling about how much it hates "woke". It's brought down by the amount of virtue signalling it does.
