Why do so many liberal parents hate Thomas the Tank Engine?

>>138944454
From what I remember growing up, it had good moral messages, so not suprising leftist anti western culture communists would despise it.

They hate everything which is wholesome

I liked Thomas but didn't they (((diversify))) it with some new trains recently?

I also recalled from memory that there are a lot of storylines in Thomas that would probably piss progressives off.

Because it was actual diversity is our strength. Many different trains, with different purposes.

>>138944454
anyone who hates thomas the tank engine, Mr. Rodgers, or Mr. Conductor, is a worthless piece of shit, a literal dumpster fire of a human being.

>There is respect for the Fat Controller, not contempt

>>138945291

If you think about it, that whole story arc is about Christian morality

>Henry sins by refusing to come out of the tunnel
>Sir Topham Hatt ("God") punishes him by bricking him up
>Henry is sorry
>Sir Topham Hatt forgives him and lets him pull trains again

Bear in mind that the creator was an English reverend and thought of morality as being like a railway line (A straight path with consequences if you go off the rails)

Modern Thomas is not old Thomas. They went full Pokemon years ago, and added eleventy billion new engines just to sell more toys. The original books were reasonable, as were the early television episodes. But the modern stories are utterly banal. They've spent a decade or two barfing out thoughtless content, and it has little merit.

what do trendy progressive parents think is good entertainment for their children?

>>138944454
I grew up with Thomas, as I recall the show was excellent especially considering that since the trains lacked animated faces and so had to drive the relationships with narrative and story telling rather than flashy displays. Messages about recognizing your purpose and striving for the goal even through hardships and setbacks. All the original engines were extremely well defined and further than having different rolls, had massively different personalities and perspectives. I recall one aside episode not focused on main characters depicting the life of an older side branch railroad locomotive. Early on in that episode one newer engine caused substantial trouble on the railroad and I kid you not was parted out to a boiler, forced to sit on the side of the rails and watch the complete locomotives but never to move again. As shows go this is a first rate children's show, not sure about newer episodes but I can see why liberals dislike it.

Thomas teaches kids good morals and the power of working together as a unit in a controlled system rather than striving to "bee ur self" and go against the current, undermining society, like a lot of liberal program's teach. Not to mention that shitty people always have horrible things happen to them as consequence for disobedience or just generally being a piece of prideful shit, usually resulting in a character being thrown off the rails in a crash, removing them from the efficient system as punishment for their acts. This can be found in additionally in the words of Sir Topham Hatt, who sees these incidents as causing confusion and delay in an ideal system through selfishness, pride, fear, or many other human vices that we see represented in the trians, and sometimes other machine constructs such as Cranky the Crane.
Additionally, despite being a show only about fucking trains, Thomas is one of the most diverse childrens shows on the market. You have big trains, small trains, old trains, young trains, all of which have their own unique role to play in the "system", with a constant moral in the shows stories being that trains are bound by their physical traits and are unable to do rolls outside them, so they should seek to thrive within their own talents. There's foreign trains who's characters rely heavily on that factor when it comes to their characters in the show, but it's never forced. There's also alegories that can be made with being disabled with the character Henry, who relies on special fuel to function despite being mostly like the other engines, and is not treated differently because of this.

Probably because it's a pretty fucked up show

Most shows were basically, "If you work hard and get along with your co-workers, you'll be rewarded. If you fuck off and are dick, we might wall you up in a tunnel somewhere for a couple of years or knock your wheels off and turn you into a stationary power plant or something. So work hard and don't be a dick." Can't imagine why Liberals hate it. Pic is a real steam powered Thomas at Strausberg Railroad.
