In addition to all the world problems, there are now many nonsense messages that distract attention from the real problems in the world.
This is how I read this message today:
Bert and Ernie, according to writer Mark Saltzman, are a homosexual couple.
Wow, I have to let that affect me. I used to look at it daily. Without even thinking if they were uberhaubt sexual!
Why can not we just let children's dolls and things that are designed especially for children to be for what it is? Everything must become gender-neutral, have colorless skin and be socially responsible. Stop it, world!
In any case, the creators of the children's program do not agree with the writer.
"As we have always said, Bert and Ernie are best friends", the creators report in a statement on social media. "They were created to teach preschoolers that people can be good friends, even if they differ a lot from each other."
The puppets do not have a sexual preference, writes the Sesame Street team in the statement. "Even though they are masculine characters and are in possession of human characteristics and characteristics, they are dolls that have no sexual identity."
As an adult, I can never look at sesame street again in the same way.
Fellow Steemians, have the best day!
