TimHauck 1,822 Posted March 7, 2023 For those unfamiliar: My youngest son is a fan, and I always imagine that the GC probably thinks he’s a pedo. Just learned that before he became Blippi he did prank videos or something apparently including taking a sh1t on his friend. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hardcore troubadour 12,755 Posted March 7, 2023 I played that for six seconds. If I saw my kid watching it I would turn it right off. Then tell him to take a shower. By himself. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I looked him up a while back and he's an ex air-force guy that's made a ton of money with his channel. Seems like he's just a guy that would do anything to become youtube famous and make a ton of money. It worked. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's totally different, the only similarity is producing a show targetting young kids. At the end of the day, he's putting out solid science and making it fun for small kids so far as I can tell. Funny you bring this guy up, I recognize the costume, I'd seen my daughter watching him earlier today for the first time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

League Champion 1,593 Posted March 7, 2023 I think you have to be a Pedo to be so into Kids. I have 2 kids of my own and I hate other people's kids. Anyone who is too into kids is a Pedo in my book. 1 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Are there any allegations against this guy? He dresses loud, acts silly, and teaches kids about science. Gay? Not gay? From what I can tell in my limited knowledge, Blippi is an asexual male character and there's no grooming going on. Whatever the man performing as Blippi does when the cameras are off, so long as that doesn't involve kids, that's his life and not my concern. The poop thing is weird and disturbing but apparently he has successfully keep his fetishes and his professional life separate. Also, I don't get at all the comparison to Mr. Rogers. There's almost no similarities other than target audience. The guy is far more like Pee Wee Herman. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mind you I have no proof, just a general ill-at-ease which would not be allayed by Dancing Bear or on air visits from Fred Rogers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Voltaire 4,570 Posted November 7, 2023 By this point, Blippi has hundreds of hours of content, I would think. From everything I've seen, I the content is G-rated clean. Iif Blippi critics can dig through all that content and show me at least one 30 second clip of the guy grooming kids or doing anything pervy/sexual, I'll say "Oh! You're right," and re-evaluate my position. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sorta like that Gallagher fella, except stuff like smashing watermelons doesn’t even rate these days. Which is also why I think the “Mr Rogers of Youtube” descriptor is fairly accurate. Obviously his approach is quite a bit amped up, but you also have to be that way if you’re on YouTube and want to keep kids’ attention at all. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kilroy69 1,005 Posted November 7, 2023 My kid loved him when he was in the 3-5 year old range. Lots of bright colors and it was always educational. I never got the pedo vibe from him. It looks like he tried out a lot of things before this to get youtube famous and then finally hit on something that works. He makes like 20 mil a year talking directly to kids in a way they understand. Seems pretty legit to me. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Distant cousins of Santa who live in an ice fishing shack in northern Minnesota, who talk funny, and who take kids on northwoods adventures.

I think you have to be pretty light in the loafers to pull off the Blippi character successfully. So yeah, I could be wrong, but I've been presuming he's gay.

The Real timschochet 3,013 Posted November 7, 2023 I don’t know who this guy is and I don’t care. But America, particularly conservatives, are way too obsessed with gays and trannies and their effect on children. Here’s the thing: there is none. Your son or daughter can not be influenced to become gay or have a sex change. If that happens it’s because your son or daughter always wanted to be gay or have a sex change. And if that happens, accept it and be happy for them or you will make their lives miserable. And stop worrying about influences. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
