Paw Patrol character becomes target of grim anti-LGBTQ+ outrage
The Paw Patrol cosmos is taking another enormous step for inclusivity by introducing its first ever non-binary character.
In the modern spin-off, Rubble & Crew, launched on Channel 5 and Nickelodeon in the UK earlier this month and follows 5-year-old bulldog Rubble and his family as they build a new town called Builder Cove.
In the latest episode, which comes before Kim Kardashian’s Paw Patrol debut, skateboarder River was introduced which writer and gay-rights activist Lindz Amer, who was hired as a consultant for the exhibit, has revealed is non-binary.
‘They brought me on to consult on the first nonbinary character—meet River!!—for the PAW Patrol universe and write their episode, discuss about a bucket list item,’ Amer shared on Instagram.
‘I wanted to draft a nonbinary character that was aspirational and incredibly cool, someone for the pups (and kids at home) to look up to.
‘They found an incredible non-binary actor to voice River and I’m so so happy about how it turned out.’
Amer added there’s actually a nod to River’s non-binary status if you look closely at their shoes and spot the pride f
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. 29 that many families are considering taking their young ones to. We have been toying with taking our 4-year-old for her first cinema experience. The lovable loyal dogs who protect the metropolis 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 insert what they dub a “non-binary” personality into the program.
Rubble and Crew follows the beloved bulldog Rubble as he and his family work to develop a new town called Builder Cove. It debuted earlier this summer, but already, in an attempt to emerge “inclusive,” the display has featured what they called a “non-binary person.”
And of course, this news wasn’t shared through a press free about the judgment to kowtow to the gender ideologues. It was only when the character’s creator, a gay-rights activist named Lindsay Amer, took to social media to bra
Rubble & Crew, a spin-off of Nickelodeon’s smash-hit preschool series Paw Patrol, has dropped an episode featuring the franchise’s first nonbinary nature (and first confirmed LGBTQ+ nature overall), written by Lindz Amer of Queer Kid Stuff!

In the episode Rubble & Crew episode “The Crew Builds an Observatory,” which premiered August 21, bulldog Rubble and his construction crew of builder pups meet human skateboarder River (voiced by nonbinary actor Cihang Ma), who’s modern in town. River (who reads as Asian) loves taking photos and wants to photograph a shooting star that’s whizzing by that night. River asks for Rubble’s help in building an observatory. The crew encounters obstacles along the way, but (spoiler!) perseveres and completes the position just in time for River to grab the shot.
The episode’s writer, Lindz Amer, is the creator of Queer Kid Stuff, which launched in 2016 as an LGBTQ+ and social justice webseries, and now offers a variety of LGBTQ-inclusive resources, storytimes, and more for kids and thei
‘Paw Patrol’ Welcomes Its First Non-Binary Character
The popular children’s TV show Paw Patrol launched its first spin-off series, Rubble &Crew, earlier this year. Now, as the show continues its first season, a non-binary personality has been introduced, though you contain to really long for to see the person as non-binary.
In a recent episode, a character named River was welcomed into the Rubble &Crew gang, which is largely made up of animals.
The fresh addition to the show is a skateboarder with a passion for photography who moves to the town, which just happens to be next door to where Paw Patrol is based. In their first episode, River helps the team photograph an upcoming shooting luminary, even going so far as to build an observatory.
So, how is River non-binary?
Visually, it’s tough to tell that they identify as such, which is similar to genuine people. The episode doesn’t contain any actual mentions of River’s identity or pronouns, but it became clear that River is genderfluid once the episode’s writer posted about it on social media.
The character of River was handmade by non-binary writer and activist Lindz Amer. Th
