Are the Muppets truly /co/?
They aren't cartoons
They aren't comics.

Also you are using the form "What did x mean by this?" a common shitpost form.

However in all reality, these sort of things don't really phase /co/. This is a board that forced lesbian shipping into a children's animated television show.

/tv/ is full of shitposting redditers who act smart by being contrarian and edgy. /co/ is full of horny losers who wanna jack off to a autistic muppet

/tv/ didn't freak out. Everyone in those threads think it's funny. /co/ is full of real spergs they don't want to talk about it because the puppet reminds them they're retards

>>91527399
Puppets are /co/

>>91527405
I don't need a puppet to remind me of that.

>>91527359
>>/tv/ freaks out

Why? Who the fuck cares about a muppet on a toddlers show?

>>91527399
Puppets are a form of "animation".

Yea its pretty nothing really.

I always nailed Burt has being some kinda High Function.

Tolerance and acceptation create weakness.

>>91527359
I thought they had already added an autistic one years ago. It's not exactly surprising.

I did see some people who know more about autistic kids than me praise it so it's probably pretty alright.

>>91527481

>>91527481

No Ernie is high functioning and Burt is his handler

>>91527524

Well Sesame Street is supposed to be informative for Kids so I have no problem with it. Wasn't there one where a muppet's dad was in jail?

>>91527359
but they're all already retarded

I don't get why this is a big deal on a show that has some green cunt living in a trash can and I highly doubt she's a bigger tard than Elmo and Ernie

Is Kubo /co/, /tv/ or /a/?

The episode was discussed in the news actually.

It sounds like they handled the subject pretty well. Not really much to say after that, I didn't see the episode nor am I a parent.

>>91527696
It's /co/.
Though I guess technically any movie/TV show is /tv/.

>>91527696
Shot in Portland so /co/ and /tv/

>>91527359
It’s a kids show. Some of the kids watching may be autistic. Nothing wrong with that, really. Just teaching them about life and shit. It’s a good thing really.

>>91527696
Why would it be /a/? Laika is an American company.

>>91527359
Why the hell should I care? I assume the sesame street has done characters with disabilities before. it's a good thing really, helps kids get used to the idea of different people so that when they are in school they don't freak out about an autistic kid in class.

>>91527696
Kubo is as /a/ as Samurai Jack.
>Invokes the feel of Japanese mythology and folklore without ever committing to any concrete cultural references.

Also, why are people doubting that traditional stop-motion is in fact animation, and unquestionably /co/?
The joke was that puppets, as on Sesame Street, are a few degrees removed from even stop-motion animation and can be construed as ambiguously "animation".

Close. Same guys, I think, but the actual show is Thunderbolt Fantasy, a collaboration with a Japanese company and the Taiwanese Puppet show makers. Best Anime of 2016.

>>91527359
/co/ knew about this years and years ago. I don't understand how this is news again. I recall the first threads.

>>91528973
From what I can tell, she was a book only character that recently got added into the actual show.

>>91527359
We're not wussies like /tv/

>>91528979
They said they were adding her when the book shit came out. It was a matter of when not a matter of if. Just seems retarded and behind the times is all.

What is /tv/ even taking issue with?

>>91529010
Yeah, we're a completely different kind of wussy

>>91529010
Yes we are.

>>91527359
because /co/ talked about it over a year ago when it was revealed, and /tv/ is being shitposted about it by people more autistic than felt

>>91527399
/co/ has for quite some time been "alright" with a few things that arnt actually comics or cartoons

one good example would be the puppetmaster franchise
1, it started as a movie, then spawned a comic
2. no one ever talks about (or probably owns or had read) the original comic
3. it has a current ongoing


should there be a thread about it? probably not, but there were several when it was storytimed a few months back
was there a ton of talking about the movies, that didnt get deleted? yes
theres a difference between being a bit off topic, and being a retard

>>91527465
In animation motion appears only during presentation of still images. That's the definition.

>>91529382
So anything on film then? Because that's all film is.. a series of still images.

>>91529125
So do they just act like this at all times in case anyone is watching so they have to behave as people expect them to or is this some kind of mating ritual?

What's the big deal? Sesame Street has had a retarded muppet for years, Elmo.

>>91528344

i did find the new big bird voice a bit off-putting though - not muh bigburd

>>91529382
the images you see on tv or monitor are just a series of still pictures of puppets.

the hell is wrong with the way big bird sounds? has Caroll Spiney given up or has he just aged? Does the fact sesame street had to introduce an autist to be progressive or whatever got to him?

>>91529729
lulz IKR

ages since i checked in on SS, though i used to love that show as a kid - so i'm guessing that's Matt Vogel


tangentially related, i seem to remember the Street having more edge - being a bit more realistically inner-city or something?

>>91529729
It's just age. The Simpsons cast all sound totally different now, well either that or they stopped caring.

>>91528306
You know, the clothing situation for the muppets have been dubious. This Julia has clothes. Elmo and Zoe do not. I guess that means Julia doesn't have fur? But then, Gonzo has clothes, but Kermit doesn't. What's up with that?

Wow, Sesame Street is trying to teach tolerance and understanding to children? What a controversial new direction for the show, nobody could possibly have foreseen this.

>>91531170
You don't understand, anon. The exact proper level of tolerance and understanding is what we were taught as kids. Shows these days just go too far.

>>91529695
Autists make me uncomfortable even the puppet ones

>>91531302

>>91527359
It means /tv/ can't fap to underage autistics apparently.

>>91527359
Sesame Street is educational show for kids. Although some of us are adult autists, not everybody has the strength to marathon a half an hour episode. But /co/ pushes the agenda so much that I'm gonna finally watch it I guess.

>>91529037

Anons, what the fuck did I JUST say.
>In animation motion appears ONLY during presentation of still images

In case of films the motion actually takes place in reality, it's just registered by camera.

>/tv/ freaks out
But that's wrong. At least since the episode aired. Most posts said it was cute and that no one hates Sesame Street.

And this https://u.nya.is/zbutrq.webm

>>91529382
That's an insufficient definition because it blurs together with how all visual media functions.

Puppets are "animation" in the sense of the character/object being both designed/uniquely stylized, and having their characterization and movement be externally controlled.

Which is a loose, clunky definition that is still ambiguous about characters like Big Bird, but still should uniquely include and differentiate existing cartoon material from non-/co/

Though, I don't know if there is any thought on whether animatronics are considered /co/, but I guess if there isn't animatronic-dedicated media, that doesn't matter.

>>91531628
To be fair, the main segment in which she actually appears lasts around 10-11 minutes, then it's just other segments and songs that relate to it.

>>91527399
Moot wasn't all that picky about schematics when he was in charge. Puppets and dubbed Saturday morning anime were close enough in his opinion.

Nobody really knows what the hell the current stance on those is, so it just boils down to "it's on-topic if the janitors don't feel like deleting it".

>>91528344
Didn't that air on adult swim for a bit?

>>91532681
That's pretty much the case. Rules/policies around 4chan have typically been reactionary to when things are clearly getting too disruptive.

It's why early days on boards are a hoot, since the typical stance is "Here's some loose, vague standards to follow. Don't fuck it up for yourselves."

>>91532098
Maybe some are actually cheesed that Sesame Street "Sold Out" meaning they actually made a deal that gave them a budget.

Have the first run of HBO funded episodes started yet?

in the african version of muppets there's an HIV positive muppet

"Because backwards ******* raped her thinking it would cure them."

Question, are the Henson Company and SS affiliated?
And how is Henson financially?

>>91529010

Yeah, we're the weenie hut junior to their super weenie hut junior.

>>91527359
She's not new, only newfags on /tv/ are surprised by this and only.

>>91527399
They're animating inanimate objects. I'd say puppets have more business being on /co/ than elsewhere.

>>91533094

Henson created the designs for the characters for Sesame Street so up till the late 90s when CTW later Sesame Workshop bought the rights the Jim Henson company owned the rights to the puppets.

On an initial glance, I thought you were asking if the Henson Company was affiliated with Schutzstaffel. I was bracing myself for a fresh flavor of lunacy.

Do people not remember the time Big Bird's old man friend died and he continuously tried to deny his death because he secretly couldn't cope with the reality

You're thinking of something else. That's Thunderbolt fantasy. Gen Urobuchi's last project. It's Taiwanese puppets written by a Japanese guy. Pretty good too. The ending is kind of an asspull but it's a satisfying asspull.

There are about as many autistic children born each year in America as there are gay people so it makes sense that you would have a few auts running around a show.

A lot of boards just kinda take on other semi-related interests that have nowhere else they truly belong, ex. Tokusatsu on a mecha board, pro wrestling on a sports board (before /asp/), and muppets on /co/.
