Is Santa Clause becoming an unacceptable figure in this political correct age?

Roger_007

White, (racial stereotype?), male,(gender stereotype?), overweight, drinks and drives/flies, sneaks into children's bedrooms late at night, gives presents to children, (grooming?).
Is it only a matter of time before he becomes a victim of the PC brigade?

its happened already. kids dont get to sit on santas knee anymore in a lot of places

Arghus

If he was real, his feelings would be badly hurt.

There's been santa's of other races. No harm there unless you're Megyn Kelly.

I love the way that, in the absence of any actual "PC gone mad" stories, lads have to imagine one so they can complain about it. Enjoy the dinner OP, relax for a few hours.

The magic it brings to Christmas for kid's and by extension adults is amazing.
Its a harsh world but just look at the positives instead of the negatives.

If anything i believe parents are getting better overall at buying into the magic of Christmas,No shame in it and lovely to see they can do this for the joy of there children.

You're on a thread where someone has imagined fictional complaints about Santa to rail against. Who are the serial whingers here? I'd bet good money this thing about not being allowed sit on Santa's lap is also a figment of someone's imagination as well.

Surely Santa being male is sexist?

What? If you're a rabid SJW, be glad you're not in the Netherlands at this time of year:

At best, they are authoritarians. They are far from the liberal end of the spectrum, like they think.

Have you read any of the articles? You might lose the bet...

Setting aside the fact that it's the likes of the daily mail that have stoked up all the paedophile paranoia in the first place, not the imaginary PC brigade who end up being blamed for its consequences.

Would you please read the opening post again. It merely posed a question. It did not express an opinion?

Yeah, no such thing as politically correct nutters. It's not like I've ever met such people in real life. It's not like these people smear their poison all over my social media feed. It's not like their agenda dominates the likes of The Guardian, to the extent that a once great periodical is practically unreadable. The current shift of the working class to the right has nothing to do with the hijacking of the left by middle class identity politics.

No, none of this is happening. Trump, Brexit, Wilders, Le Pen. It's all because "racists" have magically just appeared out of nowhere. What worries me the most is not this rise of the right, it's the lefts inability to acknowledge the reasons why.

Merry Christmas.

Santa is transgender.

As a kid even when I believed in North Pole Santa I didn't see the point of seeing a fake Santa in a shop.
