This will be a good case study to find out how real "Cancel Culture" concerns are. Because if you are looking for a reason to be offended, the Muppets will give you one.
Females being portrayed as pigs, Swedish chefs with speech impediments, depiction of mental disease for laughs, etc.
Article also refers to situations such as Johnny Cash singing in front of confederate flag.
Yet, there is not one ounce of malice or meanness anywhere to be seen. It is one big wacky party to which everyone is invited.
We'll see what happens.
- drewcoo 6y agoI was always a little bothered by the casual violence on the Muppets. But that's not anything anyone wants to cancel.
- notmarkus 6y agoWill it be a good case study because it might expose "cancel culture" as non-existent, or because it might expose "cancel culture" as a tool used only to target those who don't toe the progressive line? In other words, if the Muppets doesn't get "cancelled," is that evidence that "cancel culture" is a hoax, or is it evidence that "cancel culture" doesn't actually care about things like Swedish chefs, it only cares about conformity to a progressive worldview, which the Muppets arguably conform to?
