Ugh, Tim Allen's weird conservative values are shining through again. But this time as Santa. Now I get to watch 6 episodes of Santa complaining that things are too PC and the "War on Christmas" will get some actualized representation of some sort too, more than likely.

Did you read the review?

>Here is a Santa who gripes that “Saying ‘Merry Christmas to all’ has suddenly become problematic,” and huffs at the idea that deeming a kid too naughty for presents is “brat-shaming.”

The first is a talking point of the right-wing "War on Christmas" narrative, and the second is obviously something a conservative Uncle would say when having to buy a present for all the nieces and nephews at the Christmas reunion.

Bruh come on find a less cheesey way to argue.

Those lines are clearly in the show and already speak volumes.

Have you seen it? Tim Allen complains about not being able to say "Merry Christmas", the Elves don't want any kids to be labeled "naughty," even if they do naughty things. The replacement (non Tim Allen) Santa Clause is the CEO of a corporation, and even though he over-promised and under-delivered, it's not his fault for over-promising and under-delivering, but the media's fault for not having confidence that this CEO would do what's best for the world, setting up delivery centers 100 miles from every kid! Yes, the hero of the new series is basically an analog for Amazon's CEO.

And his kids are weird, but it's not Tim Allen's fault, he's a great dad, everybody says so! It's just that his boy is a Zoomer that only cares about technology for some reason, and his girl is a zoomer who wants to rescue deers that are mistreated at tourist traps. They only act like zoomers because they have no idea how the real world works.

The show is basically Conservative propaganda, and this propaganda is buried deep into its soul. Which is weird because the previous three movies weren't political at all. Most of Disney Plus's stuff avoids politics, even the show about the girl who grows up to be president went out of its way to avoid any sort of partisan politics.

I'm not certain where you get this about making stuff up when anyone with a Disney Plus subscription can watch the first two episodes.
