'Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer' classic called bigoted, ‘seriously problematic’
HuffPost, a liberal news site, was lampooned after saying Christmas classic “Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer” was “seriously problematic” over claims that it features sexism and bullying.
“Viewers are noticing the tale may not be so jolly after all,” the outlet’s video said. “And they’re sharing their observations online.”
Among those observations was the suggestion that the TV classic was a story about racism and homophobia, while calling Santa Claus abusive and bigoted.
“Yearly reminder that #Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer is a parable on racism & homophobia w/Santa as a bigoted exploitative prick,” read one comment shared by HuffPost. “Santa’s operation is an HR nightmare and in serious need of diversity and inclusion training. #Rudolph,” read another.

The video also suggests it was problematic that Rudolph's father verbally abused him by forcing him to wear a fake noise to be accepted by others.
Some eagle-eyed social media critics also said the cartoon is sexist because Rudolph’s mom was snubbed after she wanted to help reindeer husband Donner to search for their son after he goes missing. “No, this is man’s work,” Donner says.
But HuffPost effort to highlight perceived bigotry and troubling content of the beloved movie, with the outlet’s video attracting tens of thousands of comments, most of which mocked it.
“Oh look! Something people like and enjoy; let's go ruin it!” tweeted Rebeccah Heinrichs.
President Trump’s son Donald Trump Jr. also weighed in on the topic, tweeting “Liberalism is a disease.”
