>With more than $1 billion in annual retail sales, Thomas the Tank Engine and his locomotive pals constitute one of the world’s largest preschool toy and television franchises. Created in 1946 by a British clergyman, Thomas has charmed generations of boys and girls — especially boys — by teaching gentle life lessons on the fictional island of Sodor.
>But the property’s old-fashioned sensibility makes some parents angry. In 2014, for instance, an essay attacking the “Thomas & Friends” series for a lack of diversity, among other things, spread quickly online after publication in The Guardian. Mattel, which bought Hit Entertainment, the owner of “Thomas & Friends,” for $680 million in 2012, lists about 100 characters on the brand’s official website. The vast majority are male and apparently white.
>At the same time, Mattel has been eager to capitalize on its investment by finding ways to make the franchise more popular in fast-growing markets around the world.
>Enter Yong Bao and Carlos, among others. In an expansion two years in the making, Mattel is giving Thomas 14 new friends, with many coming from countries like India, Brazil, China and Mexico. Four are female trains. The characters will be introduced in a DVD movie called “The Great Race” that is scheduled for staggered global release starting in August; related merchandise will jointly arrive worldwide in stores.
>Consumers are demanding more diversity — just ask the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences — and preschool entertainment is no exception. To go with quaint stalwarts like Winnie the Pooh, Disney has introduced series like “Doc McStuffins,” about a creative little girl who happens to be black; Disney will soon introduce a Latina princess, a first for the company.
>>81093324
Did you complain when Donald and Douglas were Scottish?
>>81093431
So... /pol/ was right?
>>81093431
>The vast majority are male
It's a series about trains. Trains appeal to autistic boys and autistic boys only, I refuse to believe there are women out there who give two fucks about trains.
>and apparently white.
They're fucking TRAINS.
>>81093089
It ain't diverse until there's black people
Because apparently that's literally what diverse means to most of the internet.
>>81093623
You should read The Guardian article that the NY Times article linked to.
>For one, these trains perform tasks dictated by their imperious, little white boss, Sir Topham Hatt (also known as The Fat Controller), whose attire of a top hat, tuxedo and big round belly is just a little too obvious. Basically, he's the Monopoly dictator of their funky little island. Hatt orders the trains to do everything from hauling freight to carrying passengers to running whatever random errand he wants done, whenever he wants it done – regardless of their pre-existing schedules.
>Inevitably, the trains get in a fight with or pick on one another (or generally mess up whatever job they are supposed to be doing) until Hatt has to scold one of them about being a "really useful engine", because their sole utility in life is their ability to satisfy his whims. Yeah, because I want to teach my kid to admire a controlling autocrat.
And gems like
>Well guess what? It's not OK. You think a little boy watching Thomas is going to file away the lesson that pink is OK for boys? No, what kids remember is that James was laughed at, cruelly, over and over again, because he looked different and was clad in a "girly" pink color.
>And that's not even to get started on the female trains. Well, actually it's hard to get started on them, because they barely exist. Take a quick scan of the more than 100 trains and characters in the Thomas universe – it spans multiple books, toys and continents in addition to a TV show – and you can quickly count on two hands the number of lady trains that populate is Isle of Sodor. Emily – the only lady train to get name checked in the opening credits and the only one who regularly hangs out with the boy trains – is said to "know her stuff." That's the sole description of her personality. What does that even mean?
>>81093141

>>81093431

>>81093449
no because the fucking island is next to scotland I can suspend disbelief that a few scottish trains got to the fucking island by bridge or something. Not that people would pay to ship a 20-30 ton machine halfway around the world for the sake of having a train from china/india/mexico

How the fuck are you supposed to teach a lesson if you can't show the stuff that the lesson is about? What the fuck? Children aren't that stupid, if you ask them what the moral of the story was they can tell you because most children don't have the IQ of a greasy rock. Apparently this guy's kid does, but that's not the norm.

You need locos with bogies for multi track drifting. Maybe now Daisy's back you'll get your wish.
>>81095885
They're trying to represent all of china with one single character, so that character has to be as inoffensively stereotypical and wide reaching as possible. It's the problem with all token characters, you can't just have a single black woman in your script because now that black woman represents all black women somehow. So you can't make her, say, the dumb joke sidekick character that nobody takes seriously because that's disrespectful and racist.

>Thomas wants to go to the Great Railway Show, but the big engines only laugh at him. They say he's not strong or big enough to compete from the best around the world, but Thomas is determined to find a way. First, he tries to get himself streamlined, but the Fat Controller decides that it would better be suited for Gordon. Then, he tries to get himself repainted like a brightly coloured engine named Ashima, from India. His plans go horribly wrong. Thomas learns how to be himself when he finally discovers a way to compete. Thomas nearly gets to the show when Diesel threatens his chance once again.

>>81116637
To be perfectly frank, most people I've seen who say they're "pro-free speech", regardless of their political leanings, actually mean that they don't want to be held accountable for their actions, so they'll use free speech as something to hide behind when somebody calls them out on their bullshit.
>>81093089
Why the fuck are you Americans so obsessed with diversity when you barely have that many people from so many places?
>>81116768
that's not how free speech works its just the right to say what you like barring direct threats without fear of the law. That includes the right to criticize and call someone an idiot. It does not include the 'right' not to be critisized for saying stupid shit. If they're just using "free speech" as an excuse to dodge criticism then there
1. an idiot
or
2. actively against free speech
>>81116768

Marriage is not a right.
It honestly, shouldn't even have ever been picked up by the state, except they wanted to tax people for the ability, so they started selling marriage licenses.
Marriage isn't about love either, it was a method of ensuring the bloodline, and managing property.
And, before the "We allow sterile people to marry, so it isn't about children!" strawman pops up, guess what was a valid reason for annulments and divorces prior to 'no fault' divorce.

Not an argument.
But, where exactly do you think arranged marriages come from? They are the original form.
Love is a mental illness. Seriously, it has the same brain patterns as OCD. It also wears off after a while, which is why modern divorce rates are close to 50-75%. People think the feeling should last forever, so when it stops, they give up.Especially women, whom innitiate 75% of divorces.
Love is a lie, at least romantic love, which is all the modern word really means. Eros, simple animal lust and the drive to breed does not a long term relation make. Yet it is all our society worships as the concept of love. With the occasional nod to familial love when it is brought up.
>>81093106

That makes less than no sense. That's like saying a gun barrel and a glass are both round, so you can shoot someone with a glass.
>>81121013
That modern divorce rate statistic is skewed because of people who get divorced more than once. The majority of first marriages work out.

Let's see...
16, 22, 23, 25, 26 are all bullshit. The last four because they're demanding someone else give them something for free. 16, of course being the topic of marriage. It's the modern world, you don't have to be married to have sex.
And every other benefit is attainable without the marriage contract, it simply expedites the process by making it a single form.
1 is bullshit, because no one is equal. And you are not free until you are able to support yourself.
3, is violated by abortion rights.
7 & 8 are the same thing... as are 9, 10, and 11...
12-15 are alright, but note that 14 is "seek" not be granted.
In short, exactly what I expected. Claiming things that are not, and cannot be *rights* because they cannot be exercised in the absence of others from which to extract the right.
And a number of self contradictory items.

As opposed to people who declare they do exist because they say so.
You talk about fallacies, but there is no possible way to prove that one group of people's subjective opinions are more "right" than another's. Case in point: All the governments and regimes in the world who don't respect (and do things directly against) the UDHR. It has no authority. It is literally just a set of beliefs that people can choose to follow or not, just like any political, religions or philosophical belief system.
You like and agree with the UDHR. That's fine. No-one is suggesting you shouldn't. But your suggestion everyone should agree with it or that it somehow has moral authority over everyone is demonstrably false by simply looking at the world.

Unfortunately it's both, according to the NY Times and Guardian.

>>81124158
>Was being "progressive" really the intent, or is this some sort of international Thomas the Train special and OP was just baiting?

It makes sense, Thomas and Friends nowadays is so far disconnected from the original stories and show.

Anywho, I've made a start on my pencil sketches, making sure I've gotten everything right; my plan is to use my 3-in-1 printer to scan the least terrible sketch, then colour it in Paint.NET. I still need to figure out Ashima's skin tone, but that shouldn't be too tricky.Of course, now I want to do a Rule 75 of Raul - for some reason, I really like his design, and I imagine he and Carlos would be great fun at a party

It's a money grab to cash in on a growing international market.
I'm more annoyed they have Brazilian and Indian locomotives on standard gauge track.

>trying to introduce radically different concepts such as race and diversity into a show designed specifically for autistic boys
Do they just not understand their target audience or something? They literally don't like change, I mean I'm sure they'll still buy this stuff because hey they're autistic but they'll need to do this with a gentle hand if they don't want to upset them.

... Hmm. I can see where you made an effort to keep as much of the original design as possible, and it's certainly not BAD... but don't think I didn't notice you shoving her arms behind her back just so you didn't have to draw her hands.
C+ for effort, A- for cuteness

You've got autistic tendencies. Good news is, so does everyone else on the planet. If you want an actual diagnosis, you'll probably need to see a specialist.
>>81094716
>you will never go in a Thomas the Train thread without this being posted
>>81156095
Believe it or not, the original pencil sketch was alright; it's more the colouring in the lineart digitally that let me down (the fact that I've never done it before probably had something to do with it...)
>>81156328
Aww, thanks. I'm just glad I was able to deliver within 24 hours of my promise.
>>81156589
Yeah, I got a bit carried away with the patterns, but I think I managed to do a good job making it look authentic - it was really good fun looking at half sarees on Google Image Search.If I didn't have a thing for Indian women before I started this, I certainly have one now...

I never understand. What is so objectively and intrinsically great about progressiveness?
Also,
>Disney will soon introduce a Latina princess, a first for the company.
Unless they're talking about Honoria, who wanted Attila the freaking Hun of all people as her husband, or one of the daughters of that Emperor-for-a-day of Mexico, that makes zero sense.

progress good, regress bad, stagnation bad

>>81156589
I almost forgot; I had originally plnned for Ashima to have her hands in a vaguely sassy pose (pic related) but I couldn't quite stick the landing so I chose the easy way. I'm not proud, but it's better than having two mis-shapen lumps on the ends of her arms.
>>81093431
>Disney will soon introduce a Latina princess, a first for the company.
Yes, it was particularly egregious because of all those monarchies in post-Spanish Central and South America.
>>81157094
For curiosity's sake, could you post the pencil sketch?

Pains me every fucking time. I dunno why that even bothers me so much.
You have a point though. Shed17 is 2meme. It's like everyone is new to the internet, same thing with the people who post the intro theme rap mashups.
But I suppose that's also my fault for actually watching this crap and expecting the threads to be sensible. I guess it's just my a u t i s m

The Japanese were an imperialist nation. Oppressors can never be diverse.
Them's the rules.

Here you are! As you can see, I can't draw hands worth a damn (I assumed I could fix it on my laptop. Oh, how naive I was...) and the hair took a few tries to get right, but on the whole I thought I did an okay job.

I can see why you like this; it's got a little more personality to it, imo. Makes me wish I was better at drawing, so I could outdo you.

I'm surprised these aren't more frequent in these threads, these are hilarious
>>81163030
Honestly, I would LOVE it if somebody who can actually draw redid my work! I was tempted to suggest it when I first posted it, but I thought it might sound kinda bitter, and be reinterpreted as "Let's see YOU do better!"
>>81155775
I dunno what everyone's complaining about, this shit's pretty fucking kawaii.I'd still rather fuck the train.
>>81155775
You're definitely nowhere near as bad as actual Thomas fans who humanize the characters, so points for that.
>>81163722
I'll... I'll take that in the spirit in which it was meant.
>>81164030
Why oh why did I look that up on Google Image Search?I did once have the idea of drawing them as humans in post-WWII dress, as that was the era in which the original books were written, with "photos" depicting scenes from the books as the boys larking about. Probably just as well I never did anything with it...

It was moribund from S8 up until S16.
Now it's actually pretty good. Start at S16 if you're interested.
>>81169126
It varies. There's the occasional crock of shit, but for the most part it's refreshing and much better than the previous CG episodes.
>>81169304
>moribund
M-moribund?
>>81169304
I'd say start with 17 instead. That was the big turnaround when they updated pretty much everything about it (new writers, new animation studio, new narrator, etc.)
>>81169353
>moribund, he said, making a note to cross it off his word-a-day calendar
Moribund means "at the brink of death". The show was completely barren and lifeless for a long time.

So is it worth starting another thread when this one dies?
>>81172297
Not really; the guy running the stream can make a new thread if he wants, but until we get a trailer or something we might as well let the thread die.
>>81172297
As much as I like the show I don't really want to live in a world where Thomas threads on /co/ become consecutive.
