Some people really need to get lives, or something...

Libs attack cartoons, because they can’t fight back.

Penis envy.

[Always Right]

She was critical of the fact the show only has eight female characters out of the 49 who feature.

Maybe they are gay. Does she hate gay people? What a homophobic bigot this lady is.

My son (4.5 yrs) and daughter (2.9 yrs) both enjoy the Thomas books. I HAVE noticed that Sir Topham Hatt is portrayed as a competent and caring boss, and I like seeing a business portrayed favorably.

[paudio]

Oh, no! It’s Thomas!

[cmonkey]

She’s really just offended that sometimes they show trains going into tunnels.

[Mjaye]

For those of us who have kids or grandkids addicted to Thomas, give us a break. My 4 year old grandson can recite the life stories of all the characters, and one of his favorites of all time is Emily. These people are nuts, and if they want to attack Thomas for something, they could note that watching the videos with the little kids is a strong sleeping potion for the grownups.

The critics probably also object to Thomas beause the characters get their comeuppance from the natural consequences of their actions when they misbehave. God forbid that should happen. And now that I think of it, Emily isn’t one of the characters who is generally shown as being naughty, nor are the other females.

Thomas is also a massive polluter and contributor to global warming. He must be stopped.

[denydenydeny]

She also highlighted the class divide which sees the downtrodden workers in the form of Thomas and his friends at the bottom of the social ladder and the wealthy Fat Controller, Sir Topham Hatt, at the top.

This has to be satire. It has to be.

“Children’s favourite Thomas the Tank Engine has been attacked by a Canadian academic for its “conservative political ideology” and failure to adequately represent women. “

Maybe we should attack Barbie for not adequately representing boys. How ridiculous some complainers are.

[Gunflint]

My son’s favorite when he was just learning to talk was Percy.

With a slight speech impediment, he would regularly ask what sounded like, “where’s P**sy?”.

Daddy’s boy.

[SteelCurtain_SSN720]

To quote Sir Toppum Hat, "She is causing confusion and delay"

[CommieCutter]

THEN HAVE YOUR DAUGHTER WATCH TELE-TUBBIES IF YOU’RE SUFFERING FROM GENDER IMBALANCE SYNDROME!!

[CriticalJ]

Insane.

She gets paid to make up crap like this.

[Leftism is Mentally Deranged]

That really makes the left mad. They thought that they had control of ALL the means of expression - newspapers, TV, movies and toys.

[DollyCali]

BTTT

[Paine in the Neck]

conservative political ideology

The show's right-wing politics shows the colourful steam engines punished if they show initiative...

Huh?!

[Pistolshot]

Looks like there hasn't been a train through that tunnel in a while.

[GUNGAGALUNGA]

HEY LADY!!! GET A LIFE....GET LAID.....SOMETHING AND LEAVE THOMAS ALONE. HE ROCKS.
