Straight To Jail!! ⛓️🐸🐷⛓️

THIS IS SO IMPORTANT TO ME! As a flamboyant dude, I feel like people like me are so often made the butt of the joke. Its so nice to see a show where that's not the case. I said this about good omens, and the same goes for ofmd. These shows make me feel like less of a freak and it means so much to me.

When Izzy first walked out I was worried that he would be made into a joke that the crew would laugh at

but then he started singing and the dancing began and I realized that he wasn’t meant to be a joke at all. This is the most open and happy we’ve ever seen Izzy and the show treated it that way. Not mocking him but instead celebrating this moment.

When we talk about queer representation it’s usually just focused on queer relationships, but what I love about this episode is it shows other sides of being queer. That moment where Izzy saw Wee John doing his makeup and had a realization that he wanted that too? That is what being queer means to me. The crew singing along and cheering for him? That is what being apart of the queer community means to me.

What i love about this show is that it shows queer joy, not in a sanitized way, but in away that is messy, beautiful, and without any mockery or shame.

I follow a lot of Muppet fan accounts on Twitter (surprise, surprise), and someone started a conversation about which puppeteer would win in a fight; Jim Henson (Kermit, Dr. Teeth), Frank Oz (Miss Piggy, Grover), or Jerry Nelson (The Count, Kermit’s nephew Robin).

Being fans, everyone immediately took it wayyyyy too serious, saying stuff like “Jim was a pacifist, he could never win” or “Jerry was in the military so he’d have combat training.”

Someone unironically said “I think Frank’s got that dog in him,” and I haven’t been able to stop thinking about that.

During last night's Gravity Falls charity stream with Alex, Jason, and Kristen, was there anyone recording the stuff that happened before they got the stream fully working? Because there's this bit that Jason did really early on where he was just, showing the camera almonds he was eating?? Idk it was really dumb and it made me laugh really hard and if it becomes lost media I will cry

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.
