Are they as fascist as Elf on a Shelf? The Christmas “tradition” created by George Orwell.

Then there are the parents who are OK with the authoritarian elements in children's media but wish the authorities didn't always have to be white and male.

"I watched 'Paw Patrol' once with my daughter, and on that episode, Skye volunteered for a mission, but then Ryder picked two male pups," said Rebekah Pajak, a mother of a 2-year-old and a 1-year-old in Chicago. Skye is the only female in the core team of six rescue pups on the show. "I remember thinking, 'There's a glass ceiling in this cartoon!' "


Or maybe Skye, whose capability is flight, was the wrong choice for the mission. Should Ryder have picked her anyway for diversity's sake?

It’s obvious they’re (Liberals) torqued off that a white male is at the top.

“Thomas,” the long-running television franchise about a group of working trains chugging away on the Island of Sodor, has been called a “premodern corporate-totalitarian dystopia” in the New Yorker, imperialist and sinister in Slate, and classist, sexist and anti-environmentalist in the Guardian. And yet people — presumably parents — spend $1 billion on “Thomas” merchandise every year.”

So because some Nitwit liberal writers as so whackadoo that an ordered, consistent and reliable world in a show is enjoyed by children to them is some sort of problem... shows me just how little they grasp about humanity and truly suffer from a mental disorder.

Human beings who are not mentally abused do not seek out chaos and disorder, in fact human beings go out of their way to find routine and “normalcy” even among the most intense disorder when they must exist in that state.

These “critics” are simply abject morons, period.

So order and civility are “fascist”?

Thomas the Train was written by an Anglican priest for his family and the stories are wonderful!

Sir Topham Hatt is the Controller, though.....

I grew up with Bugs and Yosemite Sam. I can state without fear of contradiction that I have yet to shoot anybody in the face with a muzzle loading 32 lb. cannon. :-)

One thing I used to love about Rocky & Bullwinkle was that adults and children laughed at it but at different times. These would be the folks who didn’t laugh at it at all. Too bad for them.

Kids should watch shows with good moral and life lessons!

My Little Pony, Friendship is Magic Season 5 debut thrashes collectivism and forced equality.

I’ll bet the writer would like “Thomas the Tank Engine - Venezuela Edition”. Thomas and his friends no longer run as railway workers have stripped him of parts to buy themselves food.

Thomas is a fascist train? And so is the one carrying fracking equipment?

Does the media even know what Fascist means?

Stinking Commie Despots
