The PAW Patrol BLM Controversy emerged in June 2020 during the height of the global Black Lives Matter protests following the death of George Floyd. When the official PAW Patrol Twitter account posted a message of solidarity, the internet responded with a mix of genuine criticism and high-level satire regarding Chase, the show's police dog. Critics labeled the character as 'copaganda,' while trolls and meme-makers flooded social media with calls to 'defund' or 'cancel' the fictional puppy. This surreal intersection of a preschool cartoon and intense social justice movements sparked a massive wave of memes, ranging from mock news reports of the show's cancellation to ironic depictions of Chase facing political accountability.
