The lovable loyal dogs who protect the city from the zany kitten catastrophe crew have even piqued my interest at times.
But now, before even entering the theater, the lights are dimming on that idea with news of the Paw Patrol spin-off show Rubble and Crew being the latest children’s animated series to add what they dub a “non-binary” character into the program.
Rubble and Crew follows the beloved bulldog Rubble as he and his family work to build a new town called Builder Cove.
Rubble & Crew, a spin-off of Nickelodeon’s smash-hit kids’ show Paw Patrol, has dropped an episode with the franchise’s first nonbinary character (and first confirmed LGBTQ character overall), written by Lindz Amer of Queer Kid Stuff.
In the episode “The Crew Builds an Observatory,” bulldog Rubble and his construction crew of builder pups meet human skateboarder River (voiced by nonbinary actor Cihang Ma), who’s new in town.
Talking about what the character will be like, naming the character, looking at character design, all of that in addition to outlining, scripting, and going through notes and revisions.
River is delightful, full of zest for skateboarding and always eager to “Get that pic!” We don’t specifically learn River’s pronouns or that they are nonbinary, but River’s shirt, pants, and skateboard evoke the yellow, white, purple, and black of the nonbinary flag, and they are wearing pink, white, and light blue socks—the colors of the trans flag.
While River doesn’t appear in any other episodes in this first season, I hope we see them again in a future one, and maybe then learn their pronouns.
I’ll also note that truck driver and pilot Camila, a regular character and not Amer’s creation, wears a plaid shirt and gives me strong lesbian vibes. Your information will be used in line with our Privacy Policy
Parents Beware: ‘Paw Patrol’ Spin-Off ‘Rubble & Crew’ Adds LGBTQ Character
The promotional commercials have been running for a new Paw Patrol movie coming out Sept.
They also hired @lindzamer as a writer,’ tweeted music video director Robby Starbuck
‘Lindz runs the Queer Kids Stuff YouTube channel that indoctrinates kids into the trans ideology. Time stood still for my husband and me when our young 3-year-old heard the young girl say goodnight to mom ... Amazon’s new Clifford series has a character with two moms.
They’re also the author of the terrific Rainbow Parenting: Your Guide to Raising Queer Kids and Their Allies,
Amer explained on Instagram, “I wanted to write a nonbinary character that was aspirational and incredibly cool, someone for the pups (and kids at home) to look up to. I tend to prefer this approach to ones that focus on an LGBTQ character’s LGBTQ identity as if it’s the only or most important aspect of their life, or only show us in Pride episodes (though I love a good Pride theme if it’s part of a range of episodes).
They found an awesome non-binary actor to voice River and I’m so so happy about how it turned out.”
The motivation for creating the character came from the show’s permanent team, who then asked Amer to help. The new character River loves to ride a skateboard and take pictures.
And now with the new movie coming to theatres this weekend — parents beware!
Think long and hard before allowing your child to become a victim of yet another devious ploy to reinvent the reality of our bodies. Still, is it too much to dream that a future episode will be titled “The Crew Builds a Pride Float,” and show us Camila and River atop the float as the allied builder pups trot alongside?
Representation matters.
Amer told me in a direct message that they said I could share:
I was brought on as a consultant initially because they wanted to develop a nonbinary character and I let them know I’m a writer as well so I could script the character. Even if they don’t know the flags per se, the presence of both pink and blue is a message in itself about blurring the gender binary.
In a way, I’m glad the introduction of the character downplayed their nonbinary identity.
As soon as the decision was released, they were ready to immediately pivot to the transgender issues,” Bursch said.
“You may not remember, but back in 2015, within a week or two of the decision had come out, they were already putting Bruce Jenner on the cover of magazines and all the TV talk shows to talk about his transition to the ‘woman’ Caitlin Jenner.
River (who reads as Asian) loves taking photos and wants to photograph a shooting star that’s whizzing by that night. River’s socks and shoes feature white, blue and pink stripes, the colors coopted by the transgender movement for their flag of choice. The character doesn’t come out articulating words like “non-binary” and touting transgenderism.
It has been created to transfer into the visible reality of the world, the mystery hidden from eternity in God, and thus to be a sign of it ...

So I did a little bit more than a typical freelance writer. Parents can no longer put on what looks like an innocent children’s cartoon and have faith that it will be appropriate, making it incredibly hard to discern and teach children to discern right from wrong,” she said.She also called this move an “intentional effort by the left to subtly divide families and groom children, one concept at a time.”
I know I am not ready to explain the backward reality of gender ideology to my child, but John Bursch of Alliance Defending Freedom, the author of a new book, Loving God’s Children: The Church and Gender Ideology, says this is what needs to be done.
(I know, it’s a stereotype, but as a flannel-loving lesbian myself, I feel a resonance.) That might just be my wishful thinking.
