When was the Kwanzaa episode?

Edit: was released in 2001

Yeah the religious siginificance of Christmas to the Christians is lost to the mists of fucking time GTFO

Every. Single. Other. Kids. Show. From. The. 90s. And. Before. Has. An. Overtly. Christian. Christmas. Special. But Rugrats doesn't, it must be a conspiracy! It must be war on Christian values! It must be indoctrination of the poor Christian children. Oh God, won't somebody please think of the children!

Growing up Jewish in the American southeast, Rugrats was literally all I had. Sometimes Christians can just get fucked.

This cracked me up. Like I know the post is framed as a “war on Christian’s” thing but the idea that rugrats tackled these themes is just funny to me.

and?

It would be hard to include all of the traditions co-opted to create Christmas in a half hour kids show.

Passover, hanukkah, and kwanzaa aren't completely corporatized and shoved down secular peoples' throats by the people in power. Christians have only themselves to blame if they think secular christmas is an insult.

Hey OP, do you actually think Christians in the US are marginalized, or did you just cross-post that alt-right garbage here by accident?

Rugrats' animation style is based on the genius Estonian animator, Priit Parn. One of his proteges worked on Rugrats and Argh, Real Monsters.

Hotel E is generally considered a masterpiece and Triangle absolutely hilarious, but all of his work is incredible.

Know your audience.

Jesus versus Santa is not a difficult popularity contest to call.

Probably because the people who made the show experienced Christmas that exact way for themselves, where for the other holidays they read a book or asked a practicing religious person what it was like.

Probably because Christmas has been commercialized to hell and back in most places.

I mean, fuck the christians, they already blather on enough

@[email protected] what do you think the reason for that is?
