Johnnythe Walrus is a satirical 2022 children's picture book by American conservative political commentator Matt Walsh. The story allegorically compares being transgender and non-binary to pretending to be a walrus through the story of a child named Johnny.[1] It was published by DW Books, a division of The Daily Wire.[2]

In the book, Johnny is a boy with an imagination who dresses up as a walrus by using spoons as tusks. When "internet people" find out that Johnny enjoys being a walrus, he is forced to decide between being a boy or a walrus, and he is not allowed to change his mind.[1] The "internet people" also pressure Johnny's mother into feeding Johnny worms and taking him to a doctor with a saw, who suggests turning Johnny's hands and feet into fins.[2] Johnny's mother attempts to take him to a zoo to be with real walruses, but the real walruses do not like Johnny as he is not a walrus. The zoo also refuses to accept Johnny. Eventually, Johnny and his mother realize Johnny is a boy and that it's ok to play pretend while being yourself. They head home as Johnny pretends to be a bird.

Johnny the Walrus became the bestselling book in Amazon's LGBTQ+ category before Amazon recategorized it on December 10, 2021, to the Political and Social Commentary category. Walsh called the recategorization "an unconscionable attack on gay rights and a horrific example of homophobia and gay erasure."[1][3]

Fox News host Tucker Carlson called the book "hilarious".[4] Conservative news website TheBlaze called it "an effort to push back against radical gender ideology which defies biological reality."[5] Satirist Andrew Doyle, writing in UnHerd, praised the book for mocking the "indoctrination of the young".[6] LGBT news website PinkNews called the book "hateful" and "transphobic".[5] LGBTQ Nation called the book "anti-transgender" and said that the book mocks transgender youth.[4]

In March 2022, a group called No Hate at Amazon circulated a petition demanding that Amazon stop selling books like Johnny the Walrus and Irreversible Damage and instead set up an oversight board that would allow employees to determine content sold on Amazon. At least 500 people signed the petition, which had been presented to Amazon leadership in the summer of 2021.[7] A spokesperson for The Daily Wire Books praised Amazon for "dismissing demands by its woke employees" and said that Johnny the Walrus had sold "nearly 100,000 copies" on Amazon as of June 2022.[2]

This is a terrible children's book that could have been great if the author could have just pretended to be subtle. Our protagonist, Johnny, is a kid who loves to play make-believe. One day, he pretends to be a walrus, fashioning "tusks" for himself with wooden spoons, and "flippers" from socks. Unfortunately, Johnny's mother takes him literally: she has him put on gray makeup, gives him worms to eat, and takes him to the zoo to be with the "other" walruses. Uh-oh! Will Johnny have to live as a "walrus" forever?

But Matt Walsh completely flubs the execution by making it a satire rather than an allegory! The result is cringey right-wing propaganda rather than a silly, memorable story that I could read to a child without feeling ashamed. (It's well-known that the left can't meme, but that advantage doesn't secure the outcome of the culture war if the right can't write children's literature.)

Rather than being a silly non-realistic children's-literature grown-up, Johnny's mother is portrayed as being duped by social media and medical authorities. ("But Johnny's mom's phone said it's not just pretend / 'Only a bigot would say that! How dare you offend!'", with angry emoji and inverted Facebook thumbs-up icons bubbling out of her phone into the scene.) We get illustrations of protesters bearing signs saying "Human Walruses Are REAL Walruses", "Literally Walrusphobic", "He/Him/Walrux", &c. The worms come in an orange pill-type bottle labeled "Wormones." (Separately, mollusks would be more typical walrus fare, but that's not the main problem here from a literary perspective.) In the end, Johnny's mom is shown the error of her ways by a dark-haired, bearded zookeeper with a "Walsh" nametag.

I don't think this was inevitable. With care, it should be possible to pull off children's literature that maintains its integrity as children's literature while pushing back against the tide of gender identity ideology. (Which should mostly just look like children's literature from the before-time when "gender" was a synonym for sex if the word existed at all, with a few subtle modifications to defend itself in the current year.) But Johnny the Walrus is not trying to have that kind of integrity. Not recommended.

Amid a nationwide campaign to dehumanize trans people, the Wake County Public Libraries have added Johnny the Walrus to their collection, a transphobic picture book that compares being transgender to pretending to be a walrus.

The Wake County library system purchased 20 copies of Johnny the Walrus in July after receiving two requests for the book from library patrons, according to county spokeswoman Alice Avery. The library received the book in late September.

It is about a boy named Johnny who enjoys pretending to be a different animal each day. One day, he pretends to be a walrus, which his mother finds adorable, posting a video of it on the internet. However, this causes a large number of people on the internet to think he is really a walrus, and start demanding that his mother help him transition into becoming a real one, which she caves to very quickly. Johnny, however, is not comfortable with what his mother is making him do to fully transition. Despite his protests, however, his mother keeps forcing the transition process on him, lest she be labelled a bigot by people on the internet.

The story is a not-so-subtle allegory for gender transition written by someone who opposes such treatment, as Matt Walsh claims it should be banned for everyone of all ages. The book was written in response to progressive children's books Walsh disliked like C is for Consent and The GayBCs.

Michael Humphrey has already earned my vote and huge donation for inadvertently ruining the judges day and reputation.

I am writing out a check now for at least $500 bucks to help this guy who obviously has a lot of idiots out there trying to thwart his mission to childrens safety and a quality educational experience.

Too funny!

Ignorant liberal upset that she is ignorant, while being neither diverse nor tolerant of views not her own!

What really saddens me is that these zealots suck the fun out of being a kid or watching your children spread their wings with imagination and spunk.

It really must be difficult being a leftist. You have to keep track of absolutely everything, no matter how arcane, in order to virtue signal at all times and all places. I believe the quote was that consistency is the hobgoblin of the small minded.

What did I write to make you think that?

If I do not have a sign in front of my house, it means I do not believe anything?

Besides, I was pretty clear in what I believe. The people who preach tolerance and love for all the loudest are generally the least tolerant.

That has been the known science but as of late there has been dispute and confusion in Walrus World (Wally World). A select few of females have been spotted with tip extensions that turn outward as well as males have altered their tusks to actually touch and cross over each other at the bottoms in extreme cases.

This revelation has the wildlife biology community stunned beyond belief that gender confusion and transformation has entered the walrus species as well as humans.

In fact the CDC and WHO have been given gazillions of dollars to prove it is actually contagious and will soon affect all species of animals/mammals.

Conclusion: While some species of birds and animals mate for life their are a few who like to let their oosik roam.

It was Agriculture and School of Mines. Now they sit around growing and smoking pot and dream of finding a lithium/cobalt mine nearby for their EV batteries. UAF is a sad, lefty school for Democrats who only think they are being educated.

That nasty parade judge Tania runs the Morris Thompson Cultural and Visitors Center in Fairbanks, and is part of the nonprofit leftist mafia up here. She should really close up her social media accounts, she is hurting her organization with all her hateful spewing. Tania outright admits she would have not made the award had she known the entry was something she disagrees with. What a piece of work. Anyone who has ever worked with her knows how she operates. Thanks, Michael Humphrey, for giving the leftists a chance to show us who they really are.

I should have mentioned that people like Tania Clucas are products of left-wing establishments in Fairbanks and other University towns that are created and sponsored via the large University populations there which have been the beneficiary of so much government money in the past and now the present.

After Smith went dark from the movie business several years ago, he put most of his time and energy into podcasting (he currently hosts several on his network Smodcast). It was on one of these podcast episodes that he and his cohost Scott Mosier came up with the idea for "Tusk" based off a classified ad.

Wallace Bryton (a mustachioed Justin Long) hosts a podcast called "The Not-See Party," a show where he travels to speak to people and relays the information to his co-host Teddy (Haley Joel Osment) who doesn't see the guests. (Get it? "Not see?")

What Wallace doesn't know is that Howard is actually looking for someone he can turn into a walrus via a disturbing suit made of human skin and a series of grotesque surgeries. It's up to Wallace's girlfriend Ally (Genesis Rodrigues), Teddy and a French-Canadian detective (Johnny Depp) to track down the insane Mr. How before it's too late.
