![]() ![]() ![]() This is a show that had two gender-swapped episodes, for Christ's sake! But not only are the show's toys firmly placed in the "boy" to category, they also only include male (or gender neutral) characters: Finn the Human, Jake the Dog, the Ice King, and the video game BMO (who may identify as both male and female). That's why it's especially strange for McDonald's to not only subject the Adventure Time toys for their Happy Meals to their backwards, gender-binary thinking, but also to not represent a single female character from the series. It's a kids show that's not explicitly made for kids, it's a cartoon about a human boy having adventures that features multiple strong, smart female characters, it's a show that did an entire noir episode around an adorable talking video game system. Adventure Time is an unconventional children's show in a lot of ways.
