One of my favorite Christmas movies of all time but the more I watch I realize Santa was a D CK.

Santa in RtRNR is one of the biggest assholes in any Christmas movie.

- Basically tells Donner the day his kid is born that sorry, your kid won't ever pull my sleigh because he looks weird.
- The elves create and sing him a song and he's like "meh, needs work, imma head out."
- the reindeer bully Rudolph at the reindeer games and Santa's like "Donner you should be ashamed of yourself for bringing your different, weird kid here."
- Rudolph comes back home after running away to find his entire family missing and Santa gaslights him with "they're gone looking for you, and now I won't be able to get my sleigh off the ground."
- Even when everyone comes back and is safe, he loses his shite at Rudolph over his nose and doesn't take a liking to him until he realizes he can use Rudolph.
