CNN thinks "Thomas the Tank engine" and "Paw Patrol" are fascist shows

[WorldofWarcraft]

Yes, this is real. They think the kids are drawn to this show because they are fascist shows. The REASONS why they think they are fascist is fucking hilarious.

These motherfuckers need to be called out on this bullshit

Love this gem:

"Here's an idea, gratis, for the creative team behind of "Paw Patrol" and "Thomas," should they want to broaden their appeal to parents without alienating their fan base: Ryder and Sir Topham Hatt retire and are replaced by their equally domineering sisters. This, in turn, boosts the social status of all the non-male characters. Children would still get the satisfaction of immersing themselves in an orderly universe where rules are rules, and everyone is in his or her place. Just without the white guy on top."

Got three paragraphs in and had to stop. My niece loves Thomas. Progressivism is a disease.

By clicking on shit like that you're rewarding it. They want your click, nothing else.

Well to be fair, some white guys might prefer to be a bottom...

My son is going to be very disappointed that I have to prevent him from watching two of his favourite shows now.

I lol'ed in real life, at work when this dumbass called Thomas the Tank Engine "divisive". Feminism is cancer.

So, correct me if I’m wrong, but the takeaway I got from the article is that children crave media that promotes a simple to understand order, or “fascism”, and that’s not ok, so long as the authoritarians are white and male? The last paragraph seemed to imply that “fascism” is fine for children, though, so long as the authority promotes a more diverse working environment?

You do realize that they use these clickbaity/grabby outrage-porn article titles just so people like you will share their article, right?

 

[Amerikuracana]

Guys, Democrat white guys in particular, we have to start calling this out. It's important. It's ok to have a show where a whitish train is the lead. Not speaking bad English is not racist. Being a male is a good thing. We are trying to be forced into a lower class status, and if that is the case, we should have kept the guns pointed and stayed at the top.. We used our authority to create equality, but if other sexes or races aren't built to honor that yet, then a mistake was made.

No dammit. No. This is a real article. Take your deferring denial and get rid of it once in a while.


I voted for Obama and think he did a good job. I don't blame Hillary for a terrorist attack 10,000 miles+ away, even if (if) she made a bad decision. I don't think trickle down will ever work for more than 5 years, and will likely always lead to a down economy. I recognize that media forces, and now women in general, are trying to put straight white males at a lowered rights status. Some things are pretty easy to see.

Looks like you fell right into their trap.

You get no like from me for withholding the punch line, trying to make me click the link.
