In this scenorio, I would like to stress on behalf of GoAnimate that the characters in the GoAnimate do not reflect their actual appearance or their behaviours outside the GoAnimate realm, and that causing offence in this way is not their intention (apologies if GoAnimate's treatment of Thomas the Tank Engine and Friends has offended you). It simply reflects the fact that some users were at one time forced to watch Thomas the Tank Engine and Friends as a punishment for being naughty.
