3. Rudolph - If You're Different, You Have To Be Useful For People To Like You
Blame it on the claymation movie, the song, or just the way society operates in general, this story always bugged me just a bit. All of the other reindeer are jerks. Plain and simple. They don't care for Rudolph or his shiny nose one bit until Santa comes to town and needs some help navigating a particularly foggy night. As if that would even help! Fog would disperse the light cast by Rudolph's shiny nose, decreasing Santa's ability to navigate, because not only would visibility be decreased due to the cloud cover, but light would be reflected back into the big guy's eyes as it bounced off of the water molecules and towards the sleigh. This is a foolhardy plan! Which means that, if we're to take the story's approach to morality as canon, Rudolph should never have been accepted into the group to begin with, as he was both physically deformed
and not useful in any way. If this story were scientifically accurate, the red-nosed reindeer would've been ostracized and left to die alone. Social Darwinism at its worst. I am appalled.
