Children's entertainment in YN?

Postby Pinochetist Shark Hunters » Wed May 17, 2023 9:31 am

What are the most popular forms of children's entertainment in your nation? Do they have a focus on education, strictly entertainment, or both? On average, how much media is consumed by your nation's children?
------------------------------------------

Here in Pinochetist Shark Hunters children's television shows have become popular. However, because much of the content produced internationally is deemed to be "marxist", thus not suitable for consumption the nation has turned to producing its own series for children. Among the most popular of these is a superhero cartoon named "The Human Fighters for Freedom". It is pretty much your average superhero cartoon except that the superhero team itself is made up of right-wing political figures like Pinochet and Stroessner. Each has their unique superpower and they are briefed for missions by Joseph McCarthy.

Many of the episodes involve the team's struggles against the evil "League of Anti-humans". Members of this villainous team include figures like Stalin, Mao, Mussolini, Hitler, etc. Each of them also have unique superpowers, but of course they use them for evil, namely "spreading socialism" and "taking away freedom". The creators of the cartoon series also have a tie-in comic series in the works. Both are wholly approved by the leader, Mikey Casal, himself and are deemed as both entertainment and educational as they are said to "teach children about the values of freedom and the evils of socialism".

OOC: This is a satirical nation so anything said in character should not be taken too seriously.

Children's entertainment has different regulations for age of content. For instance, 0-6 yo content should be education in some form. For such a young age, this is often extremely simple topics such as explaining emotions, counting, alphabets, shapes, colours, etc. As children get older, regulation allows for less educational content within entertainment. A show made for 12-15 year olds can handle situations that are much harsher and with more nuance than a similar show for 9-12 year olds.

Some show examples are "Luci", a show following a girl living in a post-apocalyptic society. made for 9-12 year olds, it handles plenty of situations and themes such as loneliness, LGBT characters, anger, abandonment and nature/environmentalism. There's the League of Remarkable Gentlement, made for 15-17 year olds which handles similar issues, and also terrorism, military industrial complexes, revenge, etc. While both such shows handle complex themes, they are geared towards their age range, to explain the concepts in ways that are understandable and/or recognizable to said age range. They are educational, but that educational content becomes less obvious and more in the background, as the child gets older and watches older content.

Children’s entertainment on television
includes the cartoon Worker and Parasite (our equivalent of Tom and Jerry, where the honest hardworking cat Worker defends against the evil rat called Parasite) and various Alex Rider-type espionage ones (with a National Bolshevik twist).
Pre-regime shows that are still popular include
Dr. Who and Samurai Jack.

yes in a fictional country called Pinochetist Shark Hunters, a popular children's show called "The Human Fighters for Freedom" features a superhero team made up of right-wing political figures. They battle against the League of Anti-humans, which includes historical figures associated with socialism. The show and its tie-in comic series are promoted as educational entertainment, emphasizing the values of freedom and portraying socialism as evil.

Children’s tv shows for
ages 1 to 3 tend not to have any violence (and almost never by the good guys) and are educational, talking animals are often featured at this age.
‘Celebrating differences’ is a common themes as well as princes or faris (knight) rescuing princesses as well as occasionally depicting the princesses as rescuing themselves only to return to the tower to avoid hurting the feelings of their “rescuer” .
By the age of 4, the good guys are often portrayed fighting the bad guys, these are commonly set in medieval wars but superheroes versus criminals and criminals versus police is also a common theme.
Shows for 12+ can include much more realistic violence and often show ambiguity, with flawed heroes who occasionally do bad things themselves.
15+ can see very graphic war violence.

We feed our children ultranationalist propaganda at a young age, as well as instructions on how to make a nuke, but more weapons instructions as ultranationalist propaganda can lead to terrorist attacks by 5 year olds. Typically there are toys that encourage creativity and learning as well. TV shows are open to education and whatnot. Also, the children yearn for the coal mines due to mining propaganda.

Cartoons of the little red hen with a version where the farmer forces the hen to share the cake, and as a result she stops working, causing the farm to fail.

Some anti-regime parents encourage their children to watch a socialist version of the cartoon where the hen makes the other animals do all the work, in return for shares of the cake, but takes a larger share for herself than all theirs put together

Both pro and anti-regime parents let their children watch cartoons of Animal Farm.

Most children’s entertainment in Crossoveria is imported from other countries, including those which Crossoveria is political enemies with. The countries that Crossoveria imports children’s media from tends to be the United Kingdom, the United States, and Iran. But if we were to go with originals, one of the more popular shows is Miki & Vanda. It follows the two eponymous characters as they navigate every day things in their small towns, while trying to avoid Pete, whom they call “the mean one”. They are helped out by their friend, Irik, Evan, and Syd. Another popular show is called The Super Knights. This show follows five kids with superhero powers as they try to help people in the land of Fairy Tale Heights while dealing with villains like the dastardly Omergyna. Both of these shows were created by 7 Mice Studios, which was nominated by the International Broadcasting Alliance Film and Television Awards for “Best Independent Production Company”.

For children, as we do not have TVs yet, and as our education system is pretty bad, the primary form of entertainment is Indian pistols, knives and the occasional kilogram of coal.
A coal-rich British island colony which is unofficially controlled by rival coal gangs, permitted by their British overlords as long as the British govt. continues to get a share of coal revenues.

Acting Mayor: Mrs. Eliza Pepper (New Englund Corporation/Ind.)

Children's entertainment in the United Realms ranges from purely educational to strictly entertainment. The Oronian Public Broadcasting Agency (Spanish: Agencia de Radiodifusión Pública Orono, ARPO) hosts Channel 4, which is known as ARPO Niños. The channel hosts educational/educational entertainment programs for children in preschool and elementary school, such as Niños Inc. and Los viajes de Beto y Rosa.

A majority of children's entertainment programming consists of international programs aired through the Latin American counterparts of foreign networks. Original programming has been produced by these networks as well: Mis hermanos y yo, a teen sitcom that follows the life of the Lopez family, as narrated by the youngest of the family's four sons, Joaquín; La vida según Sara, a teen sitcom about a teenaged girl named Sara and her dealing with typical adolescent concerns such as school, relationships, and puberty; ¡Brujito!, a fantasy drama series about a teenaged boy discovering his true identity as the illegitimate son of a dangerous witch; Las aventuras de Newen, an animated series based on the Newen film series and Mapuche myths; and Héctor y los guardianes del tiempo, an animated series about a teenaged boy genius named Héctor who is recruited by a secret organization tasked with protecting time and history.

Children's entertainment is a contentious subject in BlakeIsHere. It's typical for media popular with kids but not originally meant for them to be banned to protect the safety of children.
