Awesome now I have to hate Thomas the Tank Engine
And you didn’t already hate them for the dark and depressing messages they made by saying if your friends or family get old and unable to take care of themselves, the best way to deal with them is to seal them in a concrete tomb still alive, and let them die in there as they cry out in horror?
That part never struck a chord with you?
No that made perfect sense as someone whose retirement plan is wandering into the wilderness.
That part never struck a chord with you?
No because the last time I seriously thought about Thomas The Tank Engine was when I was 3 years old
Really? You’re just going to sit there and claim you never watched Thomas The Train bondage porn with Ringo Starr impersonator narrating?
… Does this … exist???
Your friends and family are railway locomotives?
If your friends aren’t down for trains, are they really your friends?
You guys are getting paid?
If I were a train in the Thomas the Tank world I would be.
The franchise was originally started by an avowed fascist … and it really shows through sometimes.
You sound like you don’t want to produce capital for your overlords, time to be sealed into a railway tunnel and left to rot. I bet ringo starr would even say you deserved it.
How was this posted before the Ringo Starr porn comment?? Is this a thing???
Citation needed. He was a committed pacifist following his Brother’s death in WWI.
For the love of god, Montresor!
sorry
Lol what

Eh, pretty sure it’s referring to books published around 1945, after WWII (273242 days is ~75 years) so of course it’s going to contain inherently racist shit. I don’t think one should hate a whole series because it wasn’t talking about civil rights and equality in an era where those barely existed; unless you were a white man. Heck, if Thomas & Friends was talking about that stuff back then it probably would’ve been banned.
