Eh, screw it. I'm gonna make a thread debunking every single piece of disinformation from that awful New Yorker article AND show evidence from the books and the show. Feel free to use it if you're ever arguing with a nonfan about this. You're welcome.

@Junctionmalfunk I can't believe people thought I was being serious with this I literally started this with calling Thomas a train

[𝒎𝒊𝒌𝒆 💽✨ @plarailfan]

i’m gonna say this once and once only.
this is exactly what he wants.. he wants this backlash and attention with these kinds a post and if we all come together and collectively stop viewing and engaging in his content we will be at peace 🙏🏻

If you’re an AEG fan, you’re a valid Thomas fan. If you’re not an AEG fan, you’re a valid Thomas fan. I know Britt hated it but I’m sure she’d never approve of us using her name or feelings to treat people poorly or keep us divided as a fandom. This should not be controversial.

[cinna the GOAT 🇳🇬🎨 @cinnabowlii]

another 3 weeks of AEG (all engines go) discourse on my TL

at this point I'm just gonna watch the show and see what the big deal is about, the show can't be that BAD that niggas are going on about "you're not a true TTTE fan just go to tumblr if you like AEG"

?? 🤣

URGENT - If anyone has TWR Elizabeth's orange tipper, can you please provide measurements? Not just of the whole thing in general but also of its individual sections, I mainly need to know the dimensions of the round things that clip onto the main body, how wide, tall, long they-

[L.J.Productions @LJProductions21]

To this this day i still think the idea The Model & The CGI Series being two separate canons is the most completely and utterly stupid statement I've ever heard and it's about as on par as saying a show started with cel animation and then digital animation are two separate canons

[The Dunning-Sodor Effect @BadThomasTakes]

just a heads up, twitter changed the DM settings for everyone to be that only checkies can DM you. if you want to receive DMs from anyone not dumb enough to fall for elon's scam, go into your settings and change it from the second option to the third option.

1/ The world of The Railway Series is fascinatingly grim. For all intents and purposes, it's our REAL world. The only difference is scan vehicles have faces and speak. You'd think that would be a BIG difference, but ...no. The engines are still seen as tools, not people.

[The Dunning-Sodor Effect @BadThomasTakes]

@NotRay1995 @Protanorak @SloaneFragment @adomavich2 @krystalwolfy That's not really a myth, for most of the franchise's existence there were either no or only one main female character and the supporting cast wasn't much better, although the articles definitely overexaggeratr

[The Dunning-Sodor Effect @BadThomasTakes]

@NotRay1995 @Protanorak @SloaneFragment @adomavich2 @krystalwolfy There's definitely some deeper themes in Thomas and some icky stuff but at it's core it's a simple series about trains from a guy who just liked trains a lot, not some propaganda that wants to indoctrinate The Kids

[The Dunning-Sodor Effect @BadThomasTakes]

@NotRay1995 @Protanorak @SloaneFragment @adomavich2 @krystalwolfy Hi I just wanna say that I get this is probably too long for the average person to want to read so I'm just gonna TL:DR and say that a lot of the article is either made up or out of context, and I'm also referring to objective things like descriptions of what actually happens
