(Fox News) – A piece from The New York Times sparked wild reactions on social media over the writer’s apparent outrage at the Nickelodeon cartoon series “Paw Patrol” amid the fallout of the death of George Floyd. Times critic Amanda Hess penned a piece on Wednesday titled,
“The Protests Come for ‘Paw Patrol,'” and the criticism that the popular children’s show has faced in recent days for its main character Chase, a German shepherd police dog, and how that and other shows are deemed “copaganda” for portraying the police in a positive light.
“It was only a matter of time before the protests came for ‘Paw Patrol,'” Hess began. “In the world of ‘Paw Patrol,’ Chase is drawn to be a very good boy who barks stuff like ‘Chase is on the case!’ and ‘All in a police pup’s day!’ as he rescues kittens in his tricked-out S.U.V.” Hess then pointed to the responses to a tweet the show had posted, expressing solidarity toward the Black Lives Matter movement and calling for “Black voices to be heard.”
Other Twitter users, however, were not satisfied. “Euthanize the police dog,” one user said. Others wrote “Defund the paw patrol” and “All dogs go to heaven, except the class traitors in the Paw Patrol.” “How much will Paw Patrol be donating to bail funds?” another user asked. READ MORE
