Washington Examiner Reports: Et tu, PAW Patrol? Much to the distress of parents across the United States, it appears that even the PAW Patrol universe has gone woke. A recent episode of Rubble & Crew, a spin-off of the wildly popular series, features a nonbinary character, River — who appears just to be a tomboy.

You probably wouldn’t know unless you squinted at the character’s socks, which are blue and pink, reminiscent of the transgender flag; evidently, the character’s identity is not explicitly mentioned. But Lindz Amer, creator of Queer Kid Stuff and writer of the episode, bragged on Instagram about consulting on the character.

“I wanted to write a nonbinary character that was aspirational and incredibly cool, someone for the pups (and kids at home) to look up to,” Amer wrote . “They found an awesome non-binary actor to voice River, and I’m so so happy about how it turned out.”

Amer’s Queer Kid Stuff is exactly what it sounds like: a project to provide “LGBTQ+ family edutainment” and indoctrinate young children with queer theory.

According to a writer at Them, an LGBT website owned by Condé Nast, the Rubble & Crew character is so “subtly coded” that the outrage is overblown.
