That’s Fine as long as they stay away from wax my balls trannies

So Karli will be learning how to dance around a pole in her next few years on Sesame Street.

Get ready.

Not yet, but that will be next.

In the international versions they have one who's HIV positive, and another who suffers from "food insecurity," so are we really surprised?

Gender fluid, tranny-Muppet incoming...

Sesame Street Introduces Karli, Whose Mother Has an Opioid Addiction

Finally someone addresses what it’s like for a child to grow up in Livingston Parish.

Holy shite, some of you really don’t want young kids to have any understanding of a really shitty situation that’s going on in their life

Sesame Street is targeted to 3-5 year olds. It has 50 years of programming in the can.

Surly a parent can find 3-4 years of morally appropriate Sesame Streets!

God made you the parents! A village can only raise idiots!

This is an online Muppet who will probably never make it onto the show or anywhere else outside of these very specific resources.

Karli is in foster care while her mother recovers from her addiction. If you think your children at age 4-6 won't encounter peers that don't live with their biological parents for similar reasons, you have a much more optimistic view if humanity than I do. I've seen the kids that go to my daughter's daycare. If she has questions about that in the future, I would love to use Sesame Street as a resource to help her understand.

You do understand that there are different ways to present similar topics, right?


Yea, I wouldn’t want to bring a 5 year old to see Crimson Tide. But I’m really glad we had shows like Mr. Rogers Neighborhood to address challenging topics like nuclear war in a format that children could process and understand.

Obviously none of us have seen this new sesame character yet, so we don’t know if their presentation of addiction is ultimately harmful or helpful. But given that it is Sesame Street, comparing this character to showing a child an R rated movie is just fricking dumb.
