First of all, i don't really care. It's a fucking mall Santa. But Santa is St Nicholas. Father Christmas. A man. Children are expecting a man. It's something there dad can do for the kid. It's a cherished figure. Let's not ruin it like everything else simply for the sake of being "progressive".
Second of all, gender neutral isn't a thing. Unless they mean gender neutral as in a man or woman expressing themselves in non traditional ways. Otherwise, it doesn't exist. And Santa has a costume already anyway so...

Nope. Sorry. I have three children for whom a big part of Christmas is Santa and Mrs. Clause at the North Pole making toys and baking cookies and all the rest.
If it ain't broke, don't fix it. Santa has done the job for over 100 years, and that is good enough.
You don't touch up the Mona Lisa and you don't mess with Santa. The forward minded progressive thinking can have politics if it be the will of the bovine masses. Don't touch Santa (or the Easter Bunny for that matter)!!!
Honestly tradition is he's a man.
This is some type of feminist sh*t that needs to just go away.
Completely fine wit me I'd rather my kid sit on a females lap then a males lap

If it's a Mrs Claus I think that'd be kinda nice, sweet even, especially if they had them rotate but just a female as Santa, kinda kills the whole vibe. It's just he's such an iconic character & having the reliability of "Good ol' St. Nick" just lifts the burden of everything that "pre-Christmas" brings along with it. It's like your favourite hot drink. You know it's a sugary abomination & it's only every now & then but from the second you take that first sip you remember why you love it just the way it is.
To me this is an issue that the adults would get agitated about while the kids would just get a buzz about seeing Santa getting a small gift, telling him/her what they want on Christmas morning.
A big part of me is going just "Let kids be kids", life will be complicated enough for them in a few years time so let them enjoy the time now.
On the whole socio political indoctrination on either side I don't get it , my generation grew up in Ireland when as soon as women had kids the majority stayed at home. I and most of my friends are very "Liberal" when if current theories were believed we should be strong traditionalist/conservative.
I believe in the expression there are far more important things to worry about and the factors that make your belief/value system are much more complex that the destruction of society because a family with two moms or two dads move onto the street.Its not Father Christmas anymore its Mother Christmas 😂 I think we should leave it as it is with male Santa. I celebrate Christmas because of Jesus so don’t really care who is Santa but as a woman I think we are going to far with this feminism, the point has already been made. Let’s uphold what we already have and not try to ruin life by making everything gender neutral.
As a mall Santa? I don't know man... one of the main duties of mall Santas is to interact with kids, and kids have a very specific image of 'Santa' impounded in their brains: a fat man with a white beard in a red suit. I feel like if there were to be female mall Santas it might upset kids and leave them confused. Besides, if a woman wanted to dress up as a Christmas character, she could always be Mrs. Clause :p
Santa is conically male, and he should stay that way. In the UK they even call him father Christmas. If you want to give Mrs Clause a bigger role that't fine, but don't change Santa.
If you mean Jolly Saint Nick being played by a girl, I think that's fine just as long as she can play the roll well.Saint Nick is male. Don't mind if he sends his wife who shares his wardrobe, but she's MRS. Claus.
While I'm at it...
James Bond 007 is white male from the UK. Nothing else fits including Keanu Reeves, that I'd actually like.
But I wouldn't have minded black female Moneypenny, Naomie Harris, being 008 for one minute.I think it will hot then cool. Anyone can be santa. Some women naturally have beards. And so have a bearded female santa is not odd. Besides it will bring spice to the whole Christmas celebration. The bible says neither male nor female availeth anything in christ but faith working by love. Please beautiful amazing women you can be anything you set your mind to be even santa.
Maybe a Mrs. Claus instead to fit the theme? A lot of kids (like, a lot) believe in Santa. It'd be weird to have HIM be a GIRL after hearing so many stories about a him. Kids don't necessarily have to sit on Santa's lap, there are ways around your issue with that besides completely replacing the gender of the character.
I have been acting for 12ish years. Guys play girls, girls play guys. It's not a big deal. Like the kid probably won't even notice, and if they do they probably won't care.
That being said if you complain about it infront of your kid they will probably have a problem because you said it is a problem and that's how kids think. If Mom and Dad are this upset about this it must be a big deal.Santa is a male though? It's like saying batman is a girl now. I get that indivualism is a issue but this is a character. You can't just change it like that. It can't be some beautiful skinny girl. It's suppose to be a fat old white man. I mean I've never even seen a black santa in real life malls. I guess black women santas are for sure out of the mix. Just leave it alone. It's like acting you can't just cast someone who doesn't look like the character.
What happens when kids think it's not the real Santa?
It's a good coseplay idea, but this feminist shits going too far, they only want the equality in terms of benefit but the second penalties are implied they pull the innocent victim girly card. Then I guess guys should also once a week have the right to do/say/feel whatever they want and to be understood 🤣😅😅😅🤯
Female santa to now? Way too many forced women moments it's so dumb
I don’t care if there is a female Santa as long as they don’t get rid of male Santa. I just will continue to take my niece and nephew to a grotto with a male Santa.
She's not female santa, she's suppose to be mrs. Santa claus who dresses just like him. So santa isn't being replaced.
The second pictures where the women is supposed to be Mrs. Claus is fine. But the First is just weird
Females with beards kinda weird me out. And I'm not charmed if her tummy shakes like a bowl full of jelly when she laughs.
But a sexy or even kind, motherly Mrs. Claus works.Since Santa is a man I think it isn't Santa and wouldn't take a kid to them.
People who try to make weird points by doing bizarre stuff like this are strange.If she’s good at playing the part then let her do it, but I really don’t see the point.
Why not? Its not like santa claus is a historical figure like george washington, he's more of a mythicized idea that anyone could represent.
