HuffPost, a liberal news site, was lampooned after saying Christmas classic Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer was seriously problematic over claims that it features sexism and bullying.
Viewers are noticing the tale may not be so jolly after all, the outlets video said. And theyre sharing their observations online.
Among those observations was the suggestion that the TV classic was a story about racism and homophobia, while calling Santa Claus abusive and bigoted.
Yearly reminder that #Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer is a parable on racism & homophobia w/Santa as a bigoted exploitative prick, read one comment shared by HuffPost. Santas operation is an HR nightmare and in serious need of diversity and inclusion training. #Rudolph, read another. ..."
President Trumps son Donald Trump Jr. weighed in on the topic, tweeting Liberalism is a disease.
Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer isnt the first classic cartoon that was decried as problematic today.
Critics attacked ABCs A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving, which first aired in 1973, for seating its only black character, Franklin, alone on one side of the holiday table while all other white friends were seated on the other side.

This is one of my most beloved programs of all time.
I hate these people, ETL.
RAWR!
Exactly.... And there seems to be some inbreeding there too. Note the key party.
But if it was Rudolph the Trangender Reindeer it would be okedoke
These folks are disgusting....
Tell it to Rush Limbaugh and his problem solvers....
Of course the driven loons will never see themselves the way the rest of us see them.
So it shows bullying ... so what? Doesn’t it also show overcoming bullying?
So tired of all the negativity of people today.
Hermey needs to come out of the closet.
Well, Santa in this is rather dismissive and cruel when finding out Rud has a funny nose. He even shames the dad for something he cant help.
But other than that, I love it.
Still my all-time favorite Christmas show.
If youre a well adjusted thinking person you can see it as a tale about how others learn that a thing that is different about someone is actually what makes them special. But if you are an NPC your algorithm has been updated to decry it as problematic and bigoted
I’ve always said, Santa is a total a-hole in that show, and Rudolph’s dad is a dick too. But you get warts and all in such a gritty realistic slice of North Pole life.
Don't give them any ideas!!
Poor Rudy, first he is excluded from the Reindeer Games and now this. As if having a nose that imitates the business end of a propane torch wasn’t bad enough...
I don’t even want to read the reason this is offensive.
Best ever...
RIP, Gunny Ermy...
It’s a story! It’s fun, liberals! Enjoy it! Oh, I forgot. Liberals are joyless, humorless, bitter, angry, self-absorbed, self-loathing nihilists and hate it when you are enjoying something.
Their real problem is with Christmas. They hate everything about it but don’t want us to think they are piss*-face spoil sports.
