Thomas The Tank Engine Is a Racist, Sexist, And Anti-environmentalist.....Apparently

Eh, I don't think so. There was a similar piece by another feminist a little while back arguing that Princess Celestia's horn in My Little Pony was a phallic symbol, and represented male dominance.....also that, because Celestia is white, she represented white dominance over all other races. They just seem like a parody because of how inconceivably insane they are.

I swear, you can't parody these people.

The Pillsbury dough boy is obviously a racial stereotype. He is white, well fed and laughs at everything. Just like a Nazi!

I think the piece was supposed to be satire, actually making fun of how people overreact.

Considering how some of them behave it is getting increasingly difficult to tell.

I vaguely remember Shining Time Station being accused of conservative bias in the past, though I wonder how much of that was blowback from people like Andy Schlafly going full out against Sesame Street as being liberal.
