Every time I see some idiot proclaim "Jim Henson wouldn't have wanted this" under queer-positive, anti-racist or otherwise anti-bigotry posts by Sesame Street, Muppets or related fan accounts, I gotta laugh.
Like, do y'all know who Jim Henson even WAS?! He was, by the gods, no perfect person, but do y'all honestly think he'd be on your side as you spew hatred against minorities? The man that had a TV series created with the literal goal to teach equality and social systems and that'd help stop wars?!
Actually, let me bring up other Muppeteers while I am at it, who'd likewise not support y'alls crap: Dave Goelz, famously basing his characters on himself at least in part, playing the very gender-expression-flexible Gonzo and supporting the queercoding of Boober in "The Glow". Bill Baretta, performing Pepe the King Prawn who canonically has described sexuality as fluid. Richard Hunt, who performed Scooter, Mudwell the Mudbunny and many more, a gay puppeteer. Frank Oz, performer of Fozzy Bear, Animal, Bert, Miss Piggy and more, 1st Gen. Immigrant from a Jewish-Catholic mixed family. Kevin Clash, a Black man who made his own career as a puppeteer since he was a teenager. I could go on and on. Aymee Garcia. Peter Linz. Frank Meschkuleit. John Tartaglia.
Your bigotry has no place on Sesame Street, nor with any Muppet media. It never has. From the start, Jim Henson, his fellow creatives, and the people who carry on his work have promoted kindness, education, creativity and equality.
If you think any of them would agree with your bigotry, you have not been paying attention.
Some suggestions:
Ford & Stan = Statler & Waldorf
Ford & Fiddleford = Bunsen & Beaker
Stan = Fozzie Bear or Pepe
Soos = Bobo the Bear
Mabel = Zoe (sesame street)
Dipper = Scooter or Walter
Wendy = Rizzo
idk that's all I can think of rn

My review of Episode 1 of Fraggle Rock Back To The Rock S2. (Spoilers)
A fun first episode! That opening song was amazing. There were a ton of really funny jokes and we set up some interesting plot points! I think that talking about toxic positivity and how to help a friend after they've dealt with something scary or dramatic was a great topic. The new song was okay. I loved seeing Mudwell in a little cameo. I think the pacing was a little rushed, and I feel like it's a little too similar to S1 E1, but I'll let it slide because I had a good time. Traveling Matt made a cackle this episode, especially when he mailed Pogey back to the rock in a box. I'm excited to see more!
