 dystopian time you know the conservative movement has been fixated on mr potato head cat in the hat and lately they've taken a liking to uh the muppets now i hope that this doesn't get me like copyright claims because he's gonna play a clip of the muppets but we're gonna watch the muppets folks i'm sure that some of us grew up with it and and see what all of the uh the noise is about with regard to conservatives and why they're outraged here get away from the transgender issue right it's everywhere even though transgender issues well really affects a very small number of people but it seems like they wanted to affect a lot more especially our children meet gonzo uh gonzo is a muppet i just gotta pause it real real quick because like he's he's trying to create this ominous image and then he cuts to this beautiful bright picture of the muppets and i just i love everything that's happening right here or one of these characters disney characters uh i didn't know gonzo was a kid but gonzo's big and uh well gonzo had a secret for uh gonzo's friends there you are you missed our royal ball we made the most amazing princess but they ran a winged was this everyone there's something i need to tell you the prince waiting for your ball tonight was me gonzarella based why didn't you tell us because you all expected me to look a certain way i don't want you to be upset with me but i don't want to do things just because that's the way they've always been done either i want to be me oh gonzo we're sorry it wasn't very nice of us to tell you what to wear to our ball you're a friend and we love you any way you are yeah of course we need let me pause it right there before he goes on his rant we can you know already anticipate what he's going to say but is that not the most wholesome wonderful thing you've ever seen like how could you not love that it's incredibly chill i i just want to add this before any discourse takes place that um gonzo has been like basically canonically non-binary since the 1970s you can actually find episode segments of it really wearing a a dress with like the hand muffins i mean way back before it was born so this is yet no seriously multiple times multiple episodes this is completely uh yeah this is this is you know what this is canon very base gonzo species of alien that doesn't have gender okay so you can already anticipate what is going to be said here we'll also cut to one of my favorite political commentators on the right who's going to also weigh in here but um let's let him um tell you why he's deeply offended apologies gonzo i sorry uh why is this being pushed i don't know if gonzo is a cross dresser or transgender but if gonzo is transgender that is a disorder gender dysphoria jesus a disorder it's an alien so all right so before we discuss this true that is all so kandace owens actually reacted to this i can't believe i'm tweeting this but they are pushing the trans agenda on children via muppet babies this is sick and perverted in all caps everyone should be disturbed by predatory cartoons meant to usher children into gender dysphoria bring back manly muppets anyone folks what is happening on the right what is happening on the right i'll just leave this open to the panel because i this makes me want to kill myself we're we're all thinking of the sweetest chef right like it's she's she's got to be talking about the sweetest chef that's funny cross dress 80 years ago what i think so i'm just i'm just saying that like they're they're act first of all they act like this is this trans issue when no it's not there are stories of people dressing up for comedic effector because they enjoy doing so for literal centuries does anyone remember avatar the last airbender if you haven't seen it you should see it soca dresses up as a kiyoshi warrior an episode like five makeup and everything but back then there wasn't this obsession with using every instance of a of a guy or whatever wearing a dress as part of the culture war battle against trans people so it went largely uncommented on but if it came out today you know people would be screeching about nicolodian pushing transgenderism on the youth or something go broke go go go grab her yeah well and and to really speak to how much things have changed like i'm wearing a zelda shirt in breath of the wild there's this like part of the game where link has to dress up in women's clothing to like get into some area am i like i've seen drawings of those uh of those segments right and it like i don't remember we can we can dive into the legend of zelda lore but i mean like i don't remember it being controversial even back then i mean maybe i saw an article about it like praising it or something but now every like conservatives are hypersensitive to where they're fixated on these weird like cultural war issues that don't even make sense like you know the cancellations of mr potato head and cat in the hat when this these weren't actually cancellations please do why they don't care about um about legend of zelda or anything that we that is done today there's so many examples of things they could get mad about that are way woker or way more trans agenda as the representative of the demonic trans is who are undermining the world here but uh the the it's it's that old people recognize muppets and old people recognize mrs butterworth and old people recognize uncle ben and old people recognize um dr seuss but they don't know their toys they're like a like a link in a chain fence like that's a great one i don't get it that's very true it's that and like i don't know it does seem to be that they get most mad about things that old people would real would recognize which to me plays into that whole idea of like the news max and fox news being boomer daycare right like yeah yeah i i'm looking through these images of ganzo in a in a in a in a dress they're from like a million years ago back when everything was drawn on animation cells um yeah it's it's completely toothless i i don't even know if they believe any of this stuff when they say it like i haven't heard when are we gonna get the cancellation of bugs bunny that guy crossed dressed not all the time he kissed men all the time he no it's oh yeah it's true the voice and the aspect and the makeup yeah wow i didn't know this about bugs bunny on my tv man maybe that's what maybe that turned me gay is that possible like i don't remember seeing bugs bunny kiss men in you yeah yeah also i i just i want to know how the logic on this works because i think you can make people trans by showing them by showing kids trans people but kids are shown cis people pretty much all the time every human who has ever lived is constantly being shown cis people so i don't does it only go one way is it and six like sorry cis sexuality in everything everywhere like every single cartoon that you grow up with there's like oh yes two muscles he man you know and hell here we go it's gonna be amazing like the things are very subtly changing i have never seen an instance of a masculine character being feminized in what i thought was a cynical attempt to promote like an affinity for trans people i don't think i've ever actually seen that once with all the cynical woke shit that comes out to appeal to millennials i don't think i've ever seen that can anyone does anyone have any like can anyone think of that happening no i mean that's the thing like if you want to look of examples of like trans representation and and and like stuff like that in film and pop culture it's like overwhelmingly negative like you just get to like the the ace ventura like the most extreme examples of just just truly like i don't know like going back and watching like ace ventura silence of the lambs so bad yes silence of the lambs yeah oh ace ventura is really bad yeah it's really bad i rewatched that one a couple of years ago and i was like whoa whoa it just keeps going it's actually just keeps going never stops and so yeah like it doesn't make sense no no go ahead i was just i know we got a glow up though if anyone's been following one piece for the past hundred years um where we actually have i think two trans characters who are treated well and beloved in the current arc um all right yeah wow you have um uh fuck you have yamato and you have um what's the name of the nine foot tall lady is it three oh anyway i don't know but okay i don't know if you guys read one piece i don't know i i so i follow a couple of conservative commentators who i think are particularly fun to watch on this particular topic um kandace owens is always a classic um of course but my personal favorite is matt walsh and that's because matt walsh will lose his absolute mind over the smallest thing and i i mean truly uh like he read a book uh once on stream on his little stream that he does and it was like and he just read through this book and it was literally a book that was just like this is karla she was assigned male at birth by her parents but but later on realized that she was a girl and he was like this is perversion this is child abuse this is like i'm not kidding you he's losing his mind like being truly angry and i'm like what are you even mad about and and and he does this to to anything and so it's uh the the like like the the hysteria around this like trans i mean i'm not gonna lie look i'm demon mama so like i don't mind being feared a little bit okay like let's be real i like that a little but it's kind of to an unbelievable degree and you can't escape it it's everywhere last night i got on twitter i'm like oh god why is why is the word trans trending on twitter and i'm just like and and and i'm like oh god every single time it gives me a small heart attack because i'm like well what's what is it now is it gonna be like some other just unbelievable like just you would think that trans people were orcs if you listen to just conservatives like it's like it's it's it's beyond it's beyond even it's almost beyond parody the the amount of misstep between um like reality and their idea of reality and and i mean it really does parallel like calling joe biden a a a chinese communist but see on that one only alex jones will say that whereas with trans people like any conservative online will have a meltdown about just seeing that a trans person exists and they're like that's child abuse and i'm like wait for because somebody else that you don't like exists like i don't know it is a level of it's a level of of fear and derangement that is genuinely concerning
