Paw Patrol is a very fascist show meant to teach fascist ideology to kids, just so you know: https://www.cnn.com/2017/12/22/health/thomas-tank-engine-paw-patrol-fascist-cartoon-strauss/index.html

This isn't a criticism, it's easy to for stuff like this to slip past parents' radar. But I'd strongly recommend switching to a different show.

I've went through the article and it's ckickbait at best, garbage at worst.

Regarding paw patrol, the criticism is that the child is a white male and a mother that complains that in a two pup mission on an episode she saw the two pups were male.

Are you really telling me that is the boy was Japanese then the show wouldn't be fascist? Or a single chromosome would make it ok?

There's real fascism running around but somehow that's overlooked in favor of calling fascism to everything else.

The reality is that the gender and race of the main character has little to do with it being fascist. What makes it fascist is that it depicts the cop as the most important and trustworthy member of the team.

A lot of fascism exists in greed and indifference and with only a little bit of ideology. I am pretty liberal in my view, but I think there are a lot of problems in the way people on the left look at things. Yeah, the GOP is racist, but its also a hive mind and easily guided with the right hand. But although the GOP primaries where basically pointless the two loudest voices where the son of an immigrant and a woman.

All they had to do was agree that immigrants are bad and the status que is good.

Then this article disagrees with you because it only focused on the race and gender. I'm not versed enough in paw patrol to know if it's the most important member of the team, most of the time they have to solve everything through collaboration of each expertise.

Everything else you said it's not relevant to this.

Not sure if it is fascist. It is certainly neoliberal propaganda https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YnwBXQ9OXwA
