Ridley Jones Season 4 earns a 9/10 woke rating by centering a non-binary bison using they/them pronouns as a core friend-group member for ages 2-6, deliberately normalizing gender ideology in preschool storytelling. Parents should avoid it.
Ridley Jones Season 4 features a prominent recurring non-binary bison character named Fred (voiced by non-binary actor Iris Menas) who uses they/them pronouns as a core member of the main friend group from the series outset.
This representation is presented as normalized and central to the preschool adventures in a children's museum setting aimed at ages 2-6. The show's creator, Chris Nee, explicitly stated intent to incorporate the non-binary character to make gender identity topics 'a non-issue' for young children and to provide role models.
Additional elements include a strong female protagonist emphasizing girl power and leadership through 'finding common ground' and 'respecting differences,' alongside other characters with two fathers. These aspects embed contemporary gender identity concepts and acceptance messaging directly into the storytelling for impressionable preschool viewers, with the non-binary identity serving as a focal point rather than incidental.
The series faced significant audience backlash labeling it as indoctrination, contributing to its eventual cancellation after season 5. As preschool media, these elements receive heightened weight, making the progressive ideological framing central to the premise and appeal.
