@SodorCentral_ Yeah I do agree Thomas's modern sister show from 2002 present is Bob. It use to be Tugs but that was obsolete by the 21st century.

“Mattel *probably* didn't do it on purpose” “But look, Mattel *maybe* had other intentions” “Wait a sec, what about Mattel's...” I care more about execution than technicalities and they managed to make a character with a different concept work seamlessly in a historical context.

everyone who's like "oh so it's RACIST to change Nia's livery now?" are kinda missing the point that the dude who made that custom phrased it as her becoming a "real Sudrian" by removing her patterns. If you can't see how that has unsavory implications then idk what to tell you

@FullArch05 @CChandelure2 @CTFEologist pretty much. He called Duke 'granpuff' which was his grandkids nickname for him and put so much thought and dedication into cultivating Duke and the MSR, it's almost like it really is a part of him. Not to mention Duke's personality really matches up with what I've read abt him

@LoganWolfBear17 @cinnabowlii I'm not a huge fan of it, but I find ways to make it work- she wore it while on display at a safari park in Dorset and then when she came to the NWR she has patterns on her cylinders and westinghouse while in a maroon livery too. Redesigning Nia's livery isn't the problem

@Miniature_Mardy @cinnabowlii I do like Nia's livery, but I personally change it to be more realistic in a RWS esk universe, I tend to look through orange Kenyan liverys that she can ask to be painted in after going to sodor to keep the symbolism of her holding onto her Kenyan roots.

Somewhere on Sodor right now, Nia’s going about her business not giving a fuck about the patterns discourse It’s like everyone going to war for Duck’s honor when Emily “replaced” him. It’s so funny to imagine him hearing about it and just being baffled

@Miniature_Mardy It is unfortunately why BWBA was always an iffy avenue but I think at least they tried. Somewhat with canon Nia Fan work with her just tends to double down and make the already iffy issues even worse and it’s so unfortunate

As someone who has done research on colonial era Kenya It is. Telling. When Thomas fans try to make Nia “better” or “less offensive” by removing her patterns and slapping her in the KUR or EAR liveries. The railway that literally only exists for a British man to justify-

@DustyMarie53 not to... nullify the discussion, I think the concept of an African engine was absolutely necessary, but I just think there really is no way of going about it that isn't inherently linked to colonialism yk

@DustyMarie53 honestly the whole notion of a kenyan railway engine is always going to be inextricably linked to colonialism, since the existence of railways in Kenya, especially in metre gauge, are a product of colonialism.

@LoganWolfBear17 @cinnabowlii the issue was OP saying that Nia was a 'real sudrian' because she no longer had her cultural patterns. It doesn't take someone of Kenyan descent to point out that it's racist to say she can only be a 'real sudrian' by removing her connection to her culture.
