My favorite part of the latest ContraPoints video is the power move of setting the scene in Justine's home, while she's arguing the importance of the Aesthetic with a movie poster for Pink Flamingos in the background.

I forgot about Bert and Ernie (Arik and Bentz in Israel's version) pretty much as soon as I aged out of Sesame Street. I have no idea what I thought about their relationships, I wasn't old enough to give a poo poo about relationships.

i watched a ton of sesame street as a tiny kid and as bored junior high student stuck on dialiysis. i for the longest time thought they were brothers.

In all seriousness, CTW take their commitment to offering clear ideas and lessons to children extremely seriously and probably don’t want Bert and Ernie to be partners because the developmental needs of gay children are completely different from anything broached in the presentation of adults in a relationship (why they didn’t just say this all the way in the first part of their statement I don’t know, unless it was to avoid communicating the possibility of a future gay muppet because of Jenny’s #2).

The autistic muppet and wheelchair muppet are children and represent aspects of those experiences that are part of being a kid, and the incarcerated muppet is notably an occasion to show how a young kid is affected by having a parent in jail. I would actually expect a gay kid muppet or gay parent muppets on the show and would guess they’re not there now partially because pbs fears becoming a target for the right wing, which could actually destroy the show if it had the will.

The biggest changes to Sesame Street have actually been to bring it into line with best practices in child psychology, like the ongoing transition from adult-seeming fantasy characters to clearly identified children the same age as the audience—and more famously, there was the transition of the snuffleupagus (?) from imaginary to real because adults not believing children about their experiences sets patterns that can be exploited by abusers.

Also, Cookie Monster pretty clearly just lets the cookies fall out of his mouth like he’s some kind of deranged cookie sommelier.

The famous PBS shows(mister Rodgers, anything made by sesame street) have always worked super hard with child psychologists since their inception. its why they are so effective.

also bert and ernie are supposed to be like 7 or maybe at most 10 years old. they arn't supposed to be in their teens or 20s. i could see them at some point having a muppet with gay parents which is probably how they will do it.

“bert and ernie are gay actually” is some dumbledore poo poo.

plus there’s no way bert could handle living with ernie unless he had to in order to cover the rent.

I think Sesame Street always tried to reflect child psychology from the start, but much more is known now about how children reason and perceive things. The original segments were timed to kids’ attention spans, for example, but there’s much more repetition of ideas between segments now because we now know that kids learn better that way and aren’t bored by it. It’s the same with the newer muppets being kids, which has to do with how kids identify with fictional characters.

that sucks. though the movie seems to take place after his relationship with grindlewald. so hopefully they will at least allude to it. idk. i loved harry potter in elementary school but i just kinda grew out of it. i will still probably see the new one with my GF.

the bert and ernie thing come from an actual gay writer who worked on them who explicitly wrote them as a wink to his partner it's not really the same as Rowling taking a break from being a lib rear end TERF to say 'btw dumbledore was gay' after the fact.

Like, the 'debate' is literally a gay guy who wrote things based on his gay relationship and turned them to more broad children's lessons vs Oz saying 'muppets don't have sexuality' when, like, his most well known creation is literally a muppet who's 90% of her character is 'Kermit's girlfriend'.

That's one of the bullet points on there if you look. But yeah, Rachel dies, Ax is assimilated into... a thing and becomes its hosed up mouth of Sauron, Jake, Marco and Tobias bite it in a suicide run to kill the thing that got Ax (Michael Grant claims they survived, YMMV), and Cassie gets to live with her new rando not-Jake boyfriend and live the rest of her life in willful self-righteous denial that she actually caused more death and violence with her endgame gambit than she ever hoped to prevent.
