‘Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer’ Hit with Backlash over ‘Bad Lessons’
1964 stop motion classic Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer received critical commentary on Twitter [...]
Used to Laugh and Call Him Names
I've never liked it. The coach is a bully, Santa is a bully, and all the other "kids". Then they ONLY reason they accepted him is because he could do something for them. Crazy message.

prevnextGo to 42:28. “Santa realizes, maybe, even he was wrong”. Before the storm and before Rudolph offered his nose. Yes, there’s some bullying, the lesson wasn’t about being nice only after Rudolph offers his service, it’s about accepting differences. https://t.co/KhkLN57n8F

Rudolph with your nose so bright, Won't you guide my sleigh tonight? Then all the reindeer loved him
prevnextWatching Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer. The moral of the story I’ve learned since watching it as a kid: People are dicks until they need something from you. #RudolphTheRedNosedReindeer

And they shouted out with glee
prevnextThat's not it at all. They made fun of for being different. UNTIL they figured out they needed him. If they accepted him from the get go. Then yes your stance holds true. But they didn't. Therefore, they were "using" him.

Santa's Got a Brand New Airbag
prevnextIf I was #RudolphTheRedNosedReindeer I would have told Santa to kiss my red glowing ass. Now you need me? Good luck flying in the dark.

Not-so-jolly Saint Nick

Has anyone else noticed that within the first five minutes of #RudolphTheRedNosedReindeer two characters get bullied?

prevnextMy saddest takeaway in #RudolphTheRedNosedReindeer is how dismissive & mean #santa is when they first the red nose. Really Santa?!?! ?

Jingle Bells, Santa Smells
The North Pole needs a HR department. All these bosses are horrible. #RudolphTheRedNosedReindeer

prevnextOh no. It’s #RudolphTheRedNosedReindeer I don’t have strength to watch this again. Those poor elves. That bully with the whip. Abusive deer. Dentist shaming. Unloved toys. It’s too much.

You Could Even Say It Blows
Nothing says holiday spirit quite like dissecting #RudolphTheRedNosedReindeer and realizing almost everyone is an ass. Comet legit encouraged bullying and exclusion. pic.twitter.com/ldmxOv0cqz

Donner, the choirr director, Santa -- all the authority figures at the North Pole are all JERKS.
Yeah I said it.#RudolphTheRedNosedReindeer

prevnextIt’s like being Gay in a Black church. They hate on you until the city-wide choir competition comes around and they need a director. #RudolphTheRedNosedReindeer

Have a Holly Jolly Christmas
Hey, remember in Rankin-Bass’ Rudolph when Burl Ives Snowman specifically stated that the community regretted bullying Rudolph BEFORE they realized his nose could get Santa and the reindeer through the storm?

People complaining about Rudolph encouraging bullying, sexism, segregation? Oof we're in some dire times
— Jacov (@Frostysock) November 29, 2018
The point of the movie is literally that Rudolph is empowered by his differences and overcomes bullying. It is amazing to me that someone who has a job at the Huffington Post really misunderstood the message of Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer this severely ??♂️ https://t.co/2tr3hcMy5x
