====== Racist Transphobic Muppet Wank ======


{{ :sesame_street_gang.png?250|Sesame St gang - Cookie with a gun, Ernie, Elmo, and Bert with knives, and Grover smoking}}A [[http://nathanfisher.tumblr.com/post/13787599743/racial-coding-in-the-muppets|Tumblr post]] from someone who found the 2011 Muppet movie racist, and who thinks all white rap is racist, [[http://fail-fandomanon.livejournal.com/23882.html?thread=105748042#t105748042|found its way to our door]]. This produced [[http://fail-fandomanon.livejournal.com/23882.html?thread=105778762#t105778762|accusations of "appropriating rage,"]] the assertion that white people in hip-hop-style clothing [[http://fail-fandomanon.livejournal.com/23882.html?thread=105790026#t105790026|"are deliberately coding themselves as black,"]] some [[http://fail-fandomanon.livejournal.com/23882.html?thread=105753162#t105753162|appropriation wank]], and the claim that [[http://fail-fandomanon.livejournal.com/23882.html?thread=105755210#t105755210|black people love Eminem]]. Also, one nonny said they were [[http://fail-fandomanon.livejournal.com/23882.html?thread=105751882#t105751882|"pissed off by the transphobia and gender policing via Poogy/Piggy."]]

Someone who [[http://fail-fandomanon.livejournal.com/23882.html?thread=105792074#t105792074|actually saw the movie]] gave their analysis; i.e., that the movie has some issues with stereotyping but is hardly //Birth of a Nation//.

Things had wound down when [[http://fail-fandomanon.livejournal.com/23882.html?thread=105929034#t105929034|someone]] linked to [[http://licoriceplease.tumblr.com/post/13836194963/racial-coding-in-the-muppets|another Tumblr post]] asserting that the villain's henchmen, Uncle Deadly and Bobo, are "coded PoC." In that thread was also [[http://fail-fandomanon.livejournal.com/23882.html?thread=105934154#t105934154|the revelation]] that Nathan Fisher, the Tumblr blogger who provoked this wank, is actually white.

This wank inspired [[http://fail-fandomanon.livejournal.com/23882.html?thread=105814602#t105814602|an adorable little troll,]] as well as [[http://fail-fandomanon.livejournal.com/23882.html?thread=105995850#t105995850|some filk]].
