Seth Rogen Has Gone Strangely Quiet About His Failed Woke Christmas Cartoon – Opinion

It hasn’t been a good time for Seth Rogen. He was excited about his Christmas cartoon called “Santa Inc.” on HBO Max he released with Sarah Silverman that contained a feminist message about bringing down the patriarchy as represented by Santa Claus, a white man taking credit for the hard work of more diverse elves.

His toon was a disaster. But, this excitement quickly became anger. He tried to use these bad audience reviews to his advantage by lashing out on Twitter and proclaiming that his show had “really pissed off tens of thousands of white supremacists,” effectively trying to make his fellow leftists want to watch it out of spite and/or coming to its defense.

Only that didn’t work either. Rogen’s anti-Christmas cartoon languished under bad audience reviews and next to no actual critic reviews.

When I wrote about this initially, “Santa Inc.” had an abysmal audience score of three percent on Rotten Tomatoes from the audience, and no critic score due to the lack of reviews from professional critics. Rogen will be happy to hear that the rating has risen to four percent as of writing.

I’m sure he’s proud, but sadly this still makes “Santa Inc.” one of the worst-rated shows of all time on Rotten Tomatoes.

Jeremy Hambly from The Quartering on YouTube kept up to date with the situation and discovered something that was very surprising. Rogen or Silverman seem not to have any comment on their cartoons anymore.

Sure enough, I went into Rogen’s Twitter feeds to see if he had said anything further, and he hasn’t. Google searches reveal that Rogen has been the subject of much less attention than other media outlets.

If I didn’t know any better, the new strategy seems to be not to defend “Santa Inc.” but to completely memory hole it. Rogen, Silverman and others seem to prefer to keep the media silent on this catastrophe.

You would figure that there would be more of an effort to defend the monstrosity, at least from woke fans and even media allies, but there isn’t. Journalists don’t even want to touch it, either in reviews or discussing the apparent “white supremacists” that are attacking it.

It seems that Rogen has taken a massive “L” here, but it’s not really just Rogen, it’s the idea that people are into this kind of “comedy.” It’s the kind of comedy that’s not meant to elicit laughter but agreement from those in Rogen’s camp. The issue is that most people aren’t in Rogen’s camp. As it should, Wokeness is losing its shine in the society. It’s one of the most racist, sexist, and bigoted ideologies America has ever adopted as a mainstream trend.

He can try to label them as “white supremacists” all he wants, but in the end, Rogen is the one looking down on others and trying to cause division. It was an omen of disaster to try to link this division to Christmas.

An undeserved defeat.
