Thomas the Train is Fascist and Unacceptable

“Because it focuses on being useful,” says my brother in law. His young son now plays with trains from a different storyline.

Apparently Paw Patrol is also “problematic.”

Um. Ok. It appears that this idea has been around for a while now, but I’ve only just recently learned of it.

Here’s the Google search.

Daily show had a spoof on that when John Stewart was still there. The guy they interviewed was bonkers.

What’s wrong with Paw Patrol?

When my son was 3 or 4, the biggest insult he could hurl at you was “you are NOT a really useful engine!”. Cracked me up every time.

Thomas the tank engine (the island of Sidon) always seemed like a sort of dystopian world.

The show never sat right with me. There’s something sinister just below the surface of it.

I know nothing about paw patrol.

Count your blessings. Basically a 10 year old and some dogs keep all the incompetent adults from dying.

It’s just the conservative early 20th century British mindset that fueled industrialization, you’re only useful as a cog in the machine.

Ryder is like a gazillionaire with no apparent means of income generation.

My guess is that he’s a drug lord.

When asked how he managed to afford yet another Paw Patrol rescue mission thingamajig, Ryder responded, “You just, like, pay for it.”

Maybe Ryder has a YouTube channel on the side.

Bingo. I love watching Ryder open new toys on You Tube.

Noddy had to be updated because he was washing his car gayly, and slept with Big Ears the Elephant and was chased by evil gollywogs

Paw Patrol is a Randian dream. This (I swear) is a verbatim conversation about the pups’ equipment costs with my four year-old.

They have such cool stuff!
I know, how do they afford it?
What?
How do the pup’s afford all of their vehicles and equipment?
The people they rescue pay for it.
The people they rescue? Chicoletta? The mayor?
Yes, those people pay for it.
What if they can’t afford to pay for it?
They don’t get rescued.

Did you ask him if he is teaching your nephew how to be more like AMTRAK? How to be late? Provide the least amount of service? Never make money? How to be late (wait, I already said that)?

Its set in Vancouver … that’s how they pay for it all.

He’s a West Vancouver trust fund kid. The show is obviously set in Vancouver/Lower Mainland
