Snuffleupagus was finally made visible on Sesame Street because of children being sexually abused

“Billy, take down your pants and I’ll show you what Jim Henson does to Kermit!”

You mean this?

I’m really sorry about that.

[Shodan]

A hint - that is not Snuffleupagus’ trunk.

… allow the poor kids to see him coming…

Can you say “money shot,” boys and girls?

[Chronos]

That may have been the reason, but I don’t think it was a very good reason. The lesson I learned from Snuffleupagus was that something can still be real even if grown-ups don’t believe you, and that even if you think they won’t believe you, you should tell them anyway.

I don’t inderstand why the writers would create a character that was sexually abusing Big Bird for all these years. Seems odd.

[Sister_Vigilante]

I remember a really funny episode where one of the adults sees him, except that he’s in his pajamas which are black and white striped. He tells Big Bird he has seen Snuffleupagus! And describes him as black and white striped. And Big Bird just laughs…

Great episode.

No, no. Big Bird was abusing him - that’s why Snuffles hid from adults: Big Bird said they would all know that Snuffles had been being bad.

Oh, I am so going to hell…

Ohhhhh, Bird!

Bullshit. Every kid had an imagnary friend on much more innocent terms. If they want to retrofit this to modern politics they can do so independent of my experience. It’s like any given song’s interpretation, some attach their own and widely deviant exponence, some see the the pure… some see the perverse.

But the difference here is that Snuffy wasn’t imaginary. He was real, but no one believed Big Bird.

I vaguely remember being angry and frustrated about Snuff’s penchant for disappearing, as well the Chuck Wagon ghosting into the cabinet before the dog could catch it.

And don’t get me started on the whole Road-Runner thing…

@Richard_Pearse

He was always real, he was just only around when Big Bird was alone. Personally I found it frustrating.

What was frustrating was the way that brown bastard could never wait just few moments while Big Bird went and got someone. Even though Snuff said he would wait, noooooo he just had to wander off.
I hated him.

'Cause the pedo is a person in your neighbourhood.
In your neighbourhood.
In your neighbourhood…

So does this mean those girls in The Crucible really did see all those people with the devil?

Because I knew there was devil worship going on all the time!

That’s not the lesson I learned. The lesson I learned was that the majority gets to decide what is reality, and will kick your ass from here to breakfast if you can’t deal with it.

I hear ya, brother.

[Guinastasia]

It also sucked because then poor Snuffy couldn’t participate in any activities in the neighborhood. Then he was FINALLY able to hang out with the rest of the gang.
