Suddenly the idea that some could find Paw Patrol too problematic took off on Twitter with conservative politicians and commentators quickly weighing in.
Other outlets came to the cartoon’s defense, like the Federalist, with its article “ Paw Patrol and Chase the Police Dog Are Good Examples of ‘To Protect and Serve.’” Paw Patrol seems harmless enough, and that’s the point: The movement rests on understanding that cops do plenty of harm.”
This entire rumor caused no less than Senator Ted Cruz and President Donald Trump’s son Eric to lash out at Cancel Culture. The effort to publicize police brutality also means banishing the good-cop archetype, which reigns on both television and in viral videos of the protests themselves. Paw Patrol is not canceled and Chase the police dog has not been fired. Even bighearted cartoon police dogs - or maybe especially bighearted cartoon police dogs - are on notice. “As the protests against racist police violence enter their third week, the charges are mounting against fictional cops too. “It’s a joke, but it’s also not,” the author wrote. Nickelodeon hit children’s cartoon Paw Patrol denied being 'canceled' after White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany said it would be as she condemned cancel culture and its impact.
The New York Times published an article on Wednesday titled “ The Protests Come for Paw Patrol ,” and while it acknowledged people calling for the show to be “canceled” weren’t really serious, it basically pointed out why a character like Chase could be problematic. However, it ended up sparking a wider debate about how good cops, like the lovable Chase, should be portrayed on television. The comments were mostly in jest - although some took dark humor to a new level.
