You're ignorant:
>Jim Henson, creator of The Muppets, was initially reluctant to work on Sesame Street, but joined due to social concerns of the time.
>>68095105
>Remember when Muppets were just Muppets?
There was a time when Cookie monster couldn't eat cookies anymore because it sent a bad message, never mind there were numerous skits of him promoting healthy foods as well.
thats still a muppet, bitch looks like an eggplant.
Can't wait for the episode when Zari learns about stoning.
>>68095105
No. Muppets were always liberal hippy propaganda.
>Almost no muppet wears clothes that relate to a particular ethnia, country or whatever
>Almost no muppet has a color that related to a particular race
>"We need an afghan muppet!"

I call beheading in her 3rd episode
>wanted to make a character that was a girl to not be misoginstic
>character who lives in a country that is misoginstic
I do not get it
It says right in the article that she's on the Afghanistan version of the show.

My point is that Muppets really weren't bound by cultural costuming, except perhaps Dr. Mayhem and the Electric Teeth and Dr. Bunsen Honeydew.

Do you have any idea where you are, son?

First line of second paragraph:

I can't wait for the white puppets to accuse her of developing weapons of mass destruction, and then carpet bomb her family.
>>68095746
Okay, so he was initially reluctant. But the result were Muppets that were just monsters and animals not culturally bound through costuming, unless you think living in a garbage can is something unique to the U.S. Now, it's just gone overboard with PC baloney.

The only good pedo-worshipper is a dead one.

>There was a time when Cookie monster couldn't eat cookies anymore because it sent a bad message
Cookie Monster was originally created as a TV commercial character to sell junk food prior to Sesame Street. The whole healthy food propaganda didn't come along until at least the 90s.
>>68095105
You do know that this is being held in the Afghanistan version of Sesame Street right?
>>68096223
Holy shit, it's just in the Afghanistan version of the show. I bet if you lived in the 80's went it started to air in Russia you'd be pissed.
>>68096552
Yep. Don't need culturally distinctive Muppets to teach kids stuff.
>>68096651
Here's a Russian version. Where's the Cossack hat? Point is, there's virtually nothing here that's culturally specific. I guess the character's blue color has something to do with spirits, but that's it.
>>68095105
Remember when everyone was super racist and died during childbirth?
Times change grandpa.

Head scarves is what Afghan people normally wear though
>>68096855
You're whining about fucking nothing
>>68095411
???
There are a bunch of Hispanic and black muppets.
>>68095580
>Muppets really weren't bound by cultural costuming
Two of the most well known muppets have been gay for decades.
>>68096855
Does it really matter? It's in Afghanistan, and everybody wears a headscarf so it's not culturally distinctive there.
>>68095105
Sesame Street has international characters for different countries. In one country there's a muppet with AIDS.
>>68097992
Ernie and Bert are not gay
I don`t get the problem with this. It`s a Afghan muppet. So what?

Because it is teaching girls things that Allah did not intend them to learn.
