Look out, Disney! Right-wing media site touts “anti-woke” kids’ show about homeschooled chinchillas
The Daily Wire.Yes, the site co-founded by conservative troll Ben Shapiro is making a very pointed move into children’s programming.
Chip Chilla—about a homeschooling family of chinchillas—is their flagship series, set to debut in 2023. And, unfortunately, it’s just the first of many “anti-woke” series greenlit by The Daily Wire, which just hired on a new VP of Animation Development And Production.
It all feels a little insidious, if you ask us.The Chip Chilla announcement came in late June, where the company’s co-CEO Jeremy Boreing droned on about the plan for kids’ content supposedly free of “divisive narratives” and “insidious ideologies.”Unsurprisingly, this has everything to do with Disney.
In the wake of the conservative outrage over one measly same-sex kiss in Lightyear, Boreing (what an apt name) proselytized about a content platform that parents can trust:“You can’t put your kids in front of a classic piece of Disney content because you don’t know that the very next thing that plays won’t be that not-so-secret gay agenda that teaches your daughter that she’s a boy.”There’s a new cartoon show coming out in spring 2023 from The Daily Wire called Chip Chilla.
