  I actually agreed with Santa when he chose Devin as the next Santa Claus. Like, Candy is more of a person who just wants to get the work right. She didn't seem to care about the kids. She only cared about perfect delivery. And when she said "Fuck you" to Santa, I was like "Bruh, he has a point. You don't give a crap about children".

  I like how the show shoots down its own 'Santa is always a white man' in literally the first episode when Santa was going to pick a black man as his successor. Like, right off the bat it shoots itself in the foot.

  Hot take: Cookie's husband isn't actually lazy. He's just suffering from depression from being in an abusive relationship.

  Candy didn't even seem like she liked the job OR kids. She just wanted to say there was a first woman Santa.

  I was so mad when Santa turned out to be the villain, he gave a wonderful explanation as to why he didn't pick candy, the job is all about delivering presents to kids and someone who can't connect with kids is just wrong for the job. Why did they have to go for the cliche twist villain trope when he was doing so well?

  I can’t tell you how SICK I am of harassment and abuse jokes where the whole punchline is ‘it’s funny because a WOMAN is doing it’

  Damn.  Santa explaining his successor decision to Candy was legit one of the most profound speeches I've ever heard.  It's a real shame that it's not only attached to this tripe -- but it's treated as if Santa was just "mansplaining" to her and thrown away like it meant nothing.  The writers truly are tone-deaf.

  That Santa scene is actually incredible. When Santa saw how she interacted with children, he realized that she didn't want the position to bring joy to the world, she wanted the position just so she could be the first female Santa. While Santa liked her and her ideas, he realized that she didn't have her heart in the right place and someone with that attitude towards the job and towards children could never be a worthy Santa that children around the globe would write to. Like how are you gonna be Santa if you don't even want to read the kid's letters? It's a shame that they missed this and made Santa out to be the villain. The show would've probably been much better if episode 6 was the last episode.

  Candy should've been a villain protagonist. Like, we start out thinking "Oh, everyone is sexist! They don't want a female santa! Poor Candy!" but Candy just gets worse and worse, until we're thinking "Wow Candy doesn't deserve this job at all"

  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dbSPVsNAYhM&amp;t=526">8:46</a><br><br>I&apos;m just so sick of the trope that when a women is acting abusive to their boyfriend/husband it&apos;s played as a joke, but as soon as the roles are reversed it&apos;s taken seriously and treated as a bad thing (which it is obviously) and while the male abuser usually gets what he deserves, the female abuser is either potrayed as sympathetic or never faces consequences for her actions <br><br>Speaking as a woman myself it&apos;s honestly kinda disgusting that to this day this type of abuse is normalised and treated as a joke all because the person who&apos;s reserving it is a guy. Abusive relationships can happen to anyone regardless of gender and we shouldn&apos;t be downplaying and making jokes about it when the person receiving said abuse is a guy

  Honestly that scene in the 6th episode where Santa explains why he didn&apos;t pick her is a perfect representation of the show&apos;s reception as a whole. A reasonable person gives a perfectly valid and well-thought explanation for why they didn&apos;t enjoy it, and Seth Rogan just starts slinging insults in defense and goes on the warpath.

  Seth basically did the equivalent of a middle schooler saying “If you don’t agree you’re gay”
