In the episode that has people in an uproar, a nonbinary character named River, a skateboarder who loves photography, is introduced in the episode “The Crew Builds an Observatory,” in which the central group of construction worker dogs build an observatory so River can take pictures of stars. Now critics are accusing the LGBTQ activist of trying to “indoctrinate” children through media.

While introducing the show on social media, Amer spoke out saying, “I wanted to write a nonbinary character that was aspirational and incredibly cool, someone for the pups (and kids at home) to look up to. They found an awesome non-binary actor to voice River and I’m so so happy about how it turned out,” Amer wrote on Instagram.

Robert Starbuck who is former director in Hollywood is the one who called Amer out for the episode. He went to tiktok and made a video and shared a few words saying, “I regret to inform you that Paw Patrol has gone woke. Their new spinoff series “Rubble and Crew” added a trans character. They also hired @lindzamer as a writer.”
