After the beloved Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer TV special aired again on Nov. 27, the Huffington Post tweeted out a video summarizing ways in which it could be seen as problematic. The special first aired in 1964, and the video pointed out that some themes are inappropriate now.

Among them was the bullying that little Rudolph faces for his red nose, including verbal abuse from his father Donner who tries to cover up the shiny nose.

“There are more important things than comfort: self-respect,” Donner tells Rudolph after the reindeer complains about the nose cover-up.

Among the critiques were how Santa aids in marginalizing the young reindeer, as well as the bullying behind his coach egging on the other reindeer to not let Rudolph play with them.


No, your progressive activism is problematic and not acceptable in any day of standards.
