At Crossplay, I finally wrote about Paw Patrol, and how it intersects with the everyday copaganda kids are exposed to at school and elsewhere https://patrickklepek.substack.com/p/the-paw-patrol-question
The PAW Patrol Question

With a new PAW Patrol movie hitting theaters this weekend alongside a new game, it felt appropriate to ask: "Hey, so, what's up with all these dog cops?"

@patrickklepek “Or that Marshall the Dalmatian personally carries on his body at all times an apparently inexhaustible supply of water?”

This one hit me hard. I’m constantly upset at how this 20 lb dog can spray 7 metric tons of water seemingly out of his own ass.

@patrickklepek I’ve also noticed how on a similar Disney version of the social services hero theme show, Firebuds, they made all the cop characters black. Which read as a strange but intentional thing. ‘Maybe we can avoid the question if we make them all minorities?’
