I never really watched the show so I had no idea that it was so casually brutal. so yeah, we're imprisoning this rear end in a top hat in an alcove for all eternity. he really deserves it, right kids?

yeah that's a well researched / sourced piece.

lots of kids shows have troubling implications if you sit down and think about them (anything with sentient animals can be a bit strange) but Thomas is kinda a stand-out for the political implications

it's pretty funny given I'd just started showing my daughter the old Thomas the Tank Engine show the other day

Exploration is ill-advised.

Imagine if you sincerely believed that a popstar is empowering women, and black women specifically - now imagine that applies to Saudi Arabia letting women drive (legally).
