A Twitter user’s criticism of Australian animated pre-school show Bluey has an entire fanbase of children and adults (but mostly adults) coming to its defence.

On Monday, Twitter user @little_paisano expressed confusion over the series’ overall appeal. I’ll never understand why people think this show for preschoolers is like (I’m going to exaggerate a lot here) the second coming of the media christ.

Before long, viewers from afar came out of the woodwork to defend the shows’ honor. Here’s a series about a 6-year-old Blue Heeler pup, Bluey, who has a seemingly limitless zest for life and still manages to argue with his father, Bandit as well as his sister Bingo and mother Chilli on various adventures, but according to for adult fans might as well talk about Mona Lisa.

WHO CAAAARES literally compared to so many kids shows out there, bluey IS the best and has SO much depth. Bluey has amazing animation, voice acting, emotional themes, messages, music, and more. I swear to God there’s a GOOD reason teens and adults love it too — https://t.co/hvpvrmjbWS

It has become a balm not only for adults who find the realities of the real world too hard to digest, but also to the children, who are sponges with the positive messages woven throughout each new episode.

Amending their original statement, Twitter user @little_paisano shared that they indulge themselves on the show from time to time with their nieces. Indeed, Bluey’s fandom didn’t need a reason to come to the show’s defense and jumped at the first opportunity to shed some light on why they love him so much.
