    The writing on this piece about Rudolph the Red-Nose Reindeer is lovely (as one would expect from the great @CaitlinPacific) but the story is not a celebration of exclusion but rather about the fellowship of outsiders! https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2020/12/rankin-bass-rudolph-the-red-nosed-reindeer/616932/ …

        Replying to @HeerJeet @CaitlinPacific

        A woman with a daughter with Downs once told me she hated the Rudolph story because here was someone who was born “different” and only became accepted after he was found to be useful. 🤷🏻‍♀️ That stuck with me but I also agree that it is about fellowship of outsiders.

        Agree, that is a problem, although in context of story other misfits learn to love themsleves for who they are & not for social utility.

        Absolutely! Also, The Wizard of Oz is about looking within yourself for happiness and not a celebration of xenophobic provincialism. If we could account for such misunderstandings, could we also deprogram Limbaugh listeners? 🤷‍♀️

        No place for comments there, so I'll just grind my teeth quietly and note that "Rudolph" is not a carol, any more than "Eating Goober Peas" is a hymn.

        Magneto tells Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer to give up his efforts to fit in with the other reindeer and join the Brotherhood,.
