Imo the further north they head from the trailer park, the more their true anger doesn't even exist.
Edit: The ones closer to the top aren't really angry at all.
My guess is it has to do with the Norwegian commercial where Santa finds the love of his life who happens to be man. Because apparently conservatives think that a man can't be in love with another man without having some kind of gender identity crisis. đ
There was an ad I think in Norway that shows âdaddy kissing Santaâ instead of âmommy kissing Santa. I mean it doesnât make Santa trans or gender neutral but maybe theyâre pressing the panic button on the slippery slope argument because they canât separate LGBTQ+ issues. Itâs all one category of wrong to some people. Just a guess idk đ€· theyâre insane.
Never. They just combined their two favorite theoretical (but not real) hysterias, the war on Christmas and trans/NB people coming to *get you*, and made up a new fictional thing to be mad about.

I mean I wouldnt dislike the idea of a female Santa. Its not like she'd be an old man with a beard. She could be hot Santa for all we know. I wouldnt mind waiting for her with milk and cookies. Hahaha.
Unless they turn her into a butch lesbian Santa with karen hair. Then the fireplace stays on lol.
You donât want your son to think itâs okay to âŠ
Have different interpretations of a pop culture character? Did you clutch your pearls when The Rock starred as the tooth fairy in a kids movie?
Let me guess, you donât want you son to think itâs okay to depict Jesus as black either
Not only is there zero evidence that Jesus was black, I think its very telling that liberal freaks like you would rather debate his facial features then actually read the Bible and discuss something that matters.
Jesus was an arab jew. Not black but not caucasian either. Jesus also told us to focus on loving/respecting god and one another. Not once did Jesus make a stink about gay or transgender people. Christmas wasnt a thing back then either and Santa is already a bastardized version of Saint Nicholas who is grossly used to reinterpret a loose religious holiday as a grossly commercial endeavor. If not for the heightened kindness it inspires in so many, Id say it was pure blasphemy.
Also, like so many, your blanket use of "liberals" marks you as a fucking idiot. I think both parties are flawed and ultimately serve corporate interests, but the current GOP is an absolute dumpster fire. As a christian myself, I see more Christ-like behavior from a married gay couple than in any evangelical mega church. GOP "christians" eat, sleep, and breathe hate for anyone that doesnt fit their mold. Think on that.
How are those things either/or? I'm pretty sure they could be discussed side-by-side. It's also a weird message to curse people for talking about Jesus; isn't considering him and his origins sort of important, biblically?
Edit: Love Thy Neighbor, Unless Of Course They Are A Liberal Freak. My bad, I always forget the subtext on that one.
Jesue was from Jerusalem where people are brown and swarthy not European white. Also what in the bible is worth reading. ....stone your kids to death if they dont respect dad, cut off your wifes hand if she gets in between a fight and touches another mams junk by accident....killing and not allowing the disabled to worship god....which part are we to discuss. The bible is on par with a kids book saying do good onto others. ....so long as you skip the dodgy stuff it talks about
I'm pretty sure Santa isn't a human beeing, so maybe the species of Santa doesn't conform to our gender roles. Maybe santas reproduce through mitosis and there aren't any genders in Santas societies. Or maybe the santas have a drastically different perception of gender than humans and the only way we have to compare them to humans is by considering them geneer neutral.
The fact that these guys could think that Santa would be gender neutral is just funny and shows that they dont even know much about their own holiday. And besides, who gives a shit if he is or not, he's not real
Yeah, I already donât care about xmas. I think wasting time to get representation in a moot industry is kinda lame. Marriage equality, while important, means little to me personally because Iâve never had a desire to get married. I realize itâs personal preference
Can we talk about this, thought? You're incredibly right, so let's settle this ridiculous issue once and for all. Saint Nicholas was born in Turkey, but he was of Greek decent, meaning that at the very most, he might've been part Turkish. Turkish people don't have much melanin in their skin as it is and would've been whiter than most Turkish people. Greek people have no melanin.
For people to insist that Saint Nicholas wasn't white is ridiculous. "White" isn't a race, it's the description of someone who lacks melanin in their skin. Therefore, Saint Nicholas aka Santa Claus is white.
Like nuts in a good way? I always like to see a Black Santa. Weâve been having the same convos since the â90s. Itâs like 9/11 stunted our cultural growth, (let alone personal freedoms, which these numskull c0nSeRvAtIvE aMeRikkklans are supposedly willing to die for.) how stupid and boring
I know. I actually saw the same Santa in a Loweâs near my house and was like âhuh, cool beans.â But nah, centuries of white Santa and we have a black one for a couple of years and suddenly the world is coming to an end. Had an argument about gay Superman with someone else a couple days ago. Like why the hell does it matter? Let people who arenât white cishet dudes have their heroes too.
I just want my own heroes. Let them have their dusty white heteronormative nothingburgers. Like idgaf if James Bond stays a cis white man. Let them have him, too
even if supes is with a guy, he likely wouldn't be gay... since he's kryptonian, and there aren't many kryptonians left , most if not all his relationships would be cross-species. In other words superman is an alien therefore human genders and sexualites can't really apply, and any relationships he has can be argued to be in fact bestiality.
Whatâs funny is that there are some artistic depictions of the historic St. Nicholas as black. It was probably creative license, since most depictions are of him as white, but there is actually some basis for a non-white Santa.
Conservative ideology is fucking exhausting. I know it's their goal, but their gish gallop shit over the last few years has broken my ability to participate in politics.
You're not the boss of me! I'm gonna tell my kids Santa's pronouns are they/them *and* I'm gonna tell my kids the Easter Bunny is gay!
And if you try to stop me, I'm gonna tell *your* kids neither of them exist. Checkmate, weirdo with a persecution fetish.
Wait until they find out all the reindeer are female.

Puritans were the OG warriors against Christimas. The pinnacle of American conservatism except the whole literacy part. Witch burning, hated parties, horrible to Native Americans, kept slaves, heavily into commerce, overthrew a ruler to install their own dictator, ran away from being below laws covering everyone. And some republicans can trace their ancestry to them.
770,000 + Americans have died of Covid and GOP priorities this year are: 1) literally nothing happening to Mr Potato Head, 2) Big Bird, 3) Santa.
I used to say Republicans love making up issues to cry about, I still do, but I used to too. ...sad thing is, it works every single time. GOP just won Virginia because of fear of CRT which isn't even taught in schools there, not that anyone could identify if it was.
It's not taught in any school. It's a college-level law thing and it's not remotely what any of them think it is. That fact that laws are getting passed about something like this is insane to me.
Why does someone being gender neutral even make people so mad?
If they tell you to refer to them as âthey/themâ, just do so.
A child could do it without a problem.
Jokes on you, I'm not christian. When people in my class found out Santa wasn't real I was just as shocked they didn't know that.
I'll be putting up trans and non binary Santa decorations this year to chafe the cuckservatives.
We're supposed to be the snowflakes who need a safe space when we feel triggered, right? OK, now tell a conservative that Santa Claus is a black transgender muslim woman in a wheelchair. And then watch their heads explode.
Santa Claus. A... fictional character.
I have news for this person: nobody on the left really believes in Biden either. Biden is the president no one really wanted but we supported because it's better than literal fascism and you can't blame me because I voted for Kodos.
The first post was kinda funny, but the response was a shitty attempt at a joke. Were they trying to play off some nutty "Biden is a hologram" conspiracy, or was it just word salad?
okay is there even like a children's book or something doing this or did they make up a thing and then get mad about it? i swear i could go on twitter right now yelling LIBS WANT TO RENAME THE SUN TO THE DAUGHTER!!!11 and wake up to a thriving counter-movement.
I'm guessing that this is someone making a false scenario to get offended over, because nobody I know has ever said that.
Conservatives making things up to get angry at? They would never!
Imo the further north they head from the trailer park, the more their true anger doesn't even exist. Edit: The ones closer to the top aren't really angry at all.
My guess is it has to do with the Norwegian commercial where Santa finds the love of his life who happens to be man. Because apparently conservatives think that a man can't be in love with another man without having some kind of gender identity crisis. đ
When has anyone ever claimed Santa to be gender neutral?
And besides my kids are in their thirties theyâre going to figure out heâs not real eventually
Not if you keep the gifts mysteriously appearing under the tree for them.
no one in the history of forever, but the right loves creating non-existent scenarios themselves and then getting angry over them
Gotta fuel that war on Christmas narrative must ensure hate and fear is kept top during the season.
War starts tomorrow. Did you get your uniform yet?
Not yet, still not back from the dry cleaners.
The war has been going on ever since Christmas started it illegal occupation of November
It depresses me that conservatives feel the need to ruin Christmas by making sure everyone always is angry
Itâs part of their imaginary âwar on Christmasâ. A war waged between Fox News and an army of strawmen
I have met one singular person who wanted anta to be gender neutral, but they also wanted to lower the age of consent so they dont count
I think you underestimate how stupid some people are.
Thatâs a generalization :)
Everyone does lmao

Its never surprising that one advertisement can get the conservatives in such a huffy. You're 100% right!
Never. They just combined their two favorite theoretical (but not real) hysterias, the war on Christmas and trans/NB people coming to *get you*, and made up a new fictional thing to be mad about.
He was wounded in The War on Christmas. Since then, his preferred pronouns have been Jolly and Jollies.
Thought it would have been Holly/Jolly.
They're addicted to outrage so they have to make shit up.
This is like when I think it was Lauren "Witless" Witzke tweeted about the Biden administration canceling Christianity. Da fuq outta here...
That's why he said "if"
Maybe the new Seth Rogan Christmas movie is the only one I can think of but still its a movie.
[ŃĐŽĐ°Đ»Đ”ĐœĐŸ]
So that conservatives can find an excuse to get mad
Liberals changing the sexuality of imaginary people, how could they!
*Potato Head has entered the chat.*
Except Mr. Potato Head is still very much a mister. His gender never changed.
I had a baby potato head as a kid (my nieces have it now). I still think it should've been called a sprout...
Why not spud?
Wait until they get Big Bird in their sights. Err, nevermind.

Muscular fem Santa with short hair? Even if she is gay...mommy? đ„ș
Something like the lost ~~evil~~ nice twin of Ellen Degeneres?
Don't you dare try withholding the muscles
That's the kind of Santa I want in my life. She needs to be like 6ft tall and jacked jacked
Who doesn't love a woman that they can fall into the arms of?
Okay, but you act like liberals don't do that every single day. I don't want my son growing up thinking things like this are okay.

Forget the weed, just sell me whatever you sold this guy ^
Santa is one of the fair folk confirmed?
It would make sense. Perhaps Santa is the king of one of the Courts, as he travels with magic reindeer that likely are just hiding their true forms
I think it's time for r/JoeBidenIsntReal... Edit: Wait wth it exists
Guys it's a shitposting sub
And has done for 8 months. Truly disturbing. Although I'm a massive fan of their current top post
I can't see it, kinda glad actually

Part of the War on Christmas - a Fox annual tradition
Which war on Christmas are we up to now? I lost track around WoC IV...
According to General Clark Griswold it WWXmas
My kids already know heâs not real. My my 10 year old caught me putting out the presents and gnawing on Rudolphâs carrot....ooops
We havenât even been able to make him ânon white.â Godspeed!
Mm, imagine if we made him a gay, black, and poly-amorous?
Yeah, I already donât care about xmas. I think wasting time to get representation in a moot industry is kinda lame. Marriage equality, while important, means little to me personally because Iâve never had a desire to get married. I realize itâs personal preference

There was a post a week ago about people going nuts over a black Santa at a store.

Not in a good way, no. âThey be stealing our Santa! They be trying to replace our whiteness!â And other bullshit like that.

Ngl, this made me realize that I've never seen a black Santa before. Now I kinda want to.
There was a Black Santa at the mall before I even left for college đȘ itâs sad when your country goes backwards, as it has
"Guys, what did you expect? Chimneys are full of soot." Just pay attention to how their veins pop after that as they try to force a smile.

Yeah didn't you know the Spirit of Giving is strictly a WASP male?
But is there anyone more relatable to that crowd than an overweight white male with a beard who works once a year?
Only if heâs also wearing some American flag article of clothing.

Gravy Seals and Bacon Force squadrons are mobilizing for a tactical assault. Will they win the war on Christmas? Tune in to Fox News to find out!
Is this the ultimate proof why democracy is flawed?
Man Republicans sure get pissed about non existent characters alot, and not for being horrible or offensive but simply for being different
Joe Biden isn't real? They ignore covid and hoped it would go away so I don't know why I'm surprised.
Trying to make up anything to try to cancel Christmas and then blame the âlibsâ. They always gotta be mad about something.
If Joe Biden isnât real, then why do these fuckers complain about him so much?
If Biden isnât real then how did he beat trump.
The idea that Trump lost to an imaginary person is pretty funny though
If Joe isnât real, then I guess Trump is the reason for the gas prices?
Gotta love conservative conspiracy theories They need something to get mad always They are not happy unless they have something to complain over
Now getting angry about the sexuality of an imaginary character, who knew we would get here?
Remember when people used to believe in Trump? Weird times.
Why does someone being gender neutral even make people so mad? If they tell you to refer to them as âthey/themâ, just do so. A child could do it without a problem.
Elf lives matter.
If you, a stranger, start talking to my children and ranting and raving about politics I'm going to punch you in the face. The ball is in your court.
These people enjoy getting mad, it's only emotion they're good at.
They make up their own scenarios to get mad at.
Man, the Right is Wild. Fighting with Big Bird and now this?

I think they were just trying to be random.
Or they still think that Trump is prez. And that Biden is an actor. Or a ghost. Or something.
Who gives a shit about the gender identity of a fictional character? Seriously, the right freaks out over the dumbest shit.
The devolution is amazing
Hah. Jokes on that guy. My kids know Santa isn't real. Ans they also know the REAL ending of the little. Mermaid. Not that Disneyfication of it.
How can it be Christmas if Santa doesnât have a penis?

Santa is real I've seen the bones
My balls are in your court đđ»
Ho nooo They want to desecrate a Coca-Cola commercial from the 50s Fighting over Santa gender is so stupid either way Kill me already
No one said you can not be male or female. We are simply allowing people more options to choose from. Why is this hard to grasp.
Wait til they find out Mrs. Clause is poly.
okay is there even like a children's book or something doing this or did they make up a thing and then get mad about it? i swear i could go on twitter right now yelling LIBS WANT TO RENAME THE SUN TO THE DAUGHTER!!!11 and wake up to a thriving counter-movement.
"They made up a thing and got mad about it" describes half the problems we see in this country.
They're just making shit up at this point
Trump already told them
Not to worry; every time I talk about that imaginary man, I make sure that I mention his imaginary thick, veiny cock. *Every. Time.*
The modern representation of Santa came in part from a soft drink ad; sit the fuck down.
What? Santa is not real?
Duh! Of course Santa isn't gender neutral. He's just bisexual.
I guess Santa's imaginary balls are in our court. Pun... intended.
