What would THEY think of Fraggle Rock : Back To The Rock ?
There's people who enjoyed Fraggle Rock : Back To The Rock. Also all the creative / artistic hard work & effort of any production like this ( especially during the times of the pandemic ) is something to admire & appreciate as well as the advancement in puppetry filmmaking.
It's a reboot ( of a show that already had a general closure ) , " updated for modern times ". What does that exactly mean ?
Is the original problematic ?
We live in an age of streaming services where sometimes the original & reboot / remakes are beside each other ironically.
It's not mean to point out the facts that there's clearly differences between the two. It's called " artistic critique " ( probably more common among nostalgic fans who are the minority of fandom ).
The original had a strong political pacifism aspect to it as well as Jerry Juhl's humor. Back To The Rock is more gentle & the Fraggles talk in teenager slang ( among other things ).
Was the many changes necessary ? A change in modern times ( modern Democrat / Liberal ideology / Millennial & Generation Z " wokeness " ) or was it simply conforming to current demographic market research so it can " SELL " to modern audiences ( commodification ) or BOTH ?
In general, nostalgic fans prefer the quality of the originals ( & sometimes, other times ) which isn't present in the other stuff.
Even though Dave Goelz & Karen Prell returned as well as an episode written by Jocelyn Stevenson, still,
what would Jim Henson, Jerry Juhl, Richard Hunt & Jerry Nelson think ? Even though Frank Oz wasn't apart of Fraggle Rock, he has been outspoken about the changes of The Muppets ( & Sesame Street ) for 10 years now.
During the original 1989 - 1990 Henson / Disney deal , Jim Henson wanted them to understand the uniqueness of how he ran everything.
Would Jim, Richard & the two Jerrys be as outspoken about current times today ?

15 years coming out as a Nonbinary Transgender Lesbian Woman ( Erica Crooks )
I've became aware of myself for 15 years total so far. I first came out as Androgyne in late 2007 / 2008 at a time where most people weren't aware of Nonbinary & today many people identify as Nonbinary. The internet was there for me in my self-growth and awareness journey. Becoming aware of myself but having trouble finding the right words & definition. So as a content creator , the other thing that I do is to help bring awareness about the very information that helped me with my self-growth , self-esteem / self-confident / self-love and helped me become more of me than ever before. However through out 2008 - 2013 , I knew I was attracted to female body masculinity ( Butch Lesbians ) and there was that feminine aspect of myself which I struggled to figured out what that meant until I came out as a Transgender Woman near the start of 2013. I was a Lesbian, just Transgender. I struggled looking at myself in the mirror smiling until after I came out.
At the same time, I know exactly how it feels to struggle if it's with my kind hearted mother in poverty surviving on disability income , diagnosed as Neurodivergent / Autism Spectrum / PTSD / ADD / ADHD / Depression / Social Anxiety / Anxiety related & being a victim of hate crime of all sorts all through my life online & offline. Including running away from an abusive, bigoted father & wicked step mother which my mother saved me from taking my life away. It cost me most of my belongings but it was either my stuff or my life, I choose life.
YOU ARE NOT ALONE ! Perhaps I'm not either. _ Erica ( she / her )

The Erica Crooks Show Proudly Celebrates 15 Years of LGBTQ+ Pride !
The Erica Crooks Show Proudly Celebrates 15 Years of LGBTQ+ Pride !
The satirical puppet / animated cartoon sketch comedy indie film show created by Nonbinary Androgynous Femme Transgender Lesbian Woman " Erica Crooks " has both spread LGBTQ+ awareness especially Nonbinary as well as satirize the bigotry of Transphobia, Homophobia, etc through out the show's history. The show even mirrored back fears of coming out of the closet and helped Erica Crooks come out of the closet first through " artistic expression ". Nonbinary characters have appeared on the show during the second season in 2007. And in 2008, a character who identified as Androgyne / Nonbinary debuted struggling to get people to understand them.
The Erica Crooks Show is much more than a sketch comedy show. It's a show that expresses true human emotions through the art of puppetry & cartoon animation. It's a show that always encouraged anyone to follow their heart, non-conform, and be their true selves. As well as have a satirical laugh at those negative authoritarian brainwashed serious people conformists who disagree because they don't matter !
In 2021, Erica Crooks directed the puppet short film ( featuring the cast of The Erica Crooks Show ) " Let The Show Go On... ( Regardless ) " which featured The Erica Crooks Show's known " Hand " characters who symbolized human like creatures who felt different from the world around them but always wanted to be accepted for who they are. They have been the earliest creation of the show as well as the artwork of Erica Crooks and reflects the heart, meaning & message of it all. YOU ARE NOT ALONE !

Patriotism / Nationalism is Authoritarianism YUCK ! Anti-Authoritarianism Anarchism is The Answer & Solution !~
There's patriots who find it disrespectful when
people say HAPPY MEMORIAL DAY &
celebrate it like the 4th of July aka
Remember - Honor - Respect .
Patriotism / Nationalism Kneel for the Cross,
Stand & Salute to the flag, it's nothing more but
Authoritarian Right CRAP !
Sure we are grateful for what Liberty & Equality
we have but why must we be brainwashed into
this Authoritarian Right religion into believing
that War & Violence means
freedom, equality , security & all things good?
No one is superior to anyone !
Authoritarianism is the problem,
Anti-Authoritarianism is the solution.
Anarchism just means YOU WANT MORE
AND NOTHING BUT THE BEST THAT LIFE
CAN OFFER AND BEYOND WHAT
A WESTERN SO CALLED FREE COUNTRY CAN OFFER !
#anarchist #anarchism #antiauthoritarian #antiauthoritarianism #philosophy #anticapitalism #antinationalism #antipatriotism #spirituality #wisdom
Liberty & Equality NOT Liberty vs Equality ( Anarchism )
It shouldn't be Liberty against Equality or Equality against Liberty. It should be a balance of both. If we find that common ground despite our differences, know what we want Universally / Internationally & keep it simple, we can work towards that better future better than any sort of complicated scientific analysis, hatred of anyone and anything that is perceived as Anti-Science, etc. It needs to have the approach of Love & Peace, not Hate & Fear ! Besides, when we are calm, we can think clearly. Sure people can find practical usefulness in meditation but to be a closed minded conspiracist ranting about how anything that's not the Authoritarian Left / Old Left being evil agenda is clearly hate and fear mongering. And the idea that Revolution can't be non-violence and peaceful and anything THEY disagree with and THEY feel they are in the legit Hierarchical Authority to destroy and silence voices ? I DISAGREE COMPLETELY !
Sure we all want truth and we are tired of being lied to. We are tired and sick of all the suffering in the world, especially our own personal lives as apart of the masses. Yes there is anger regarding the injustice of it all. But once again, I personally don't think the Authoritarian Left is the correct direction. Capitalism remains a problem BUT it shouldn't be separated from Authoritarianism because without it, Capitalism doesn't exist. Without Authoritarian Hierarchical power over others, Capitalism doesn't even exist. So therefore PEACE ! IT'S REALLY THAT SIMPLE !

The Erica Crooks Show ( 2016 ) : Unfunny standup comedian / party venue hack ( clip )
These unfunny transphobic / homophobic standup comedians probably got their start as party venue hacks for evil Hollywood Executives / Media Capitalists.

Oscar the friendly recycle monster ?
Could you imagine a fluffy version of Oscar the Grouch singing Taylor Swift's " Shake it Off " but it's about recycling ? Is " I Love Trash " problematic, taboo, controversial & cancel culture now ? :(
Oscar the friendly recycle monster ? I don't think so.
Someone could easily look at the current version / new video and be like " Oh how cute ! Oscar & Grover are dancing together, that means they are FRIENDS ! AWWW ! "
That's not what it was like in the original !
THIS IS Oscar & Grover in the original ! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KXBkJC-Zscg
So is this ! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R_QVPdWstIk
Oscar was beyond a GROUCH ! It's no wonder he was thrown down the stairs ! https://youtu.be/USUjEXfTqf4?t=603
Even before " One of these things is not like the other " , Oscar's brother says " F**kin' SICK ! " https://youtu.be/xGYil8o88H4?t=569
Oscar even insulted advertisers in front of a nervous Dick Cavett.
https://youtu.be/Q65fKWU9S-U?t=684
Everything is LITERALLY reboot , changed , commodified , cancel culture , controversial & problematic.
Perhaps Oscar's trash can insults the scientific / objective minded.
It's a paranormal supernatural phenomenon vortex of some sort !
https://muppet.fandom.com/wiki/Oscar%27s_trash_can
Sesame Street has changed since the 1990s ( Tickle Me Elmo era ) due to competition to keep the show on the air after 20 something episodes ( it's mentioned in the book Street Gang ).
Whenever people see puppets, people IMMEDIATELY think " little kids stuff ". More so regarding people's general perception of Sesame Street. That's right it's still called Sesame Street, not ELMO'S WORLD !
The art of Puppetry has a tradition in satire. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EeBCvG1AXU8
And the original Sesame Street ( & The Muppets in general ) were VERY FUNNY & ENTERTAINING !
Anyway the whole idea of Oscar the Grouch becoming Oscar the friendly recycle monster reminds me of how Cookie Monster could be seen as " Veggie Monster ".
https://muppet.fandom.com/wiki/Is_Cookie_Monster_now_the_Veggie_Monster%3F?so=search
The current version just confirms everyone's stereotypical view on this show for " little kids ".
Classic Sesame Street / Old School Sesame Street was TOTALLY DIFFERENT !
There's lots of stuff that's entertaining for adults. It's comedy, rock & pop music, etc. The Muppets were known for general audiences because that's how the entertainment industry used to be.
I talk about this further in my essay. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l-6HwK2t3I4
Yes, there was a philosophy of community in the mix as well ( even if it wasn't clearly specifically Anarchism / Leftism ).

Neurodiversity and Artistic Expression on Social Media against Censorship
ARTISTIC / CREATIVE
EXPRESSION
FROM ARTISTS
WITH DISABILITIES ,
AUTISM SPECTRUM AND OR WHO SUFFER WITH
MENTAL ILLNESS
DOES NOT COUNT
AS VIOLATION OF
YOUR SOCIAL MEDIA /
INTERNET CAPITALIST
GUIDELINES ,
ESPECIALLY DARK SATIRISTS
BRINGING AWARENESS
CREATIVELY AND ARTISTICALLY !
THAT DOES NOT COUNT AS
PROMOTING SELF-HARM / SUICIDE !
STOP SHUTTING DOWN ACCOUNTS OF
INNOCENT VOICES !
ESPECIALLY THOSE WHO ARE
MARGINALIZED , VULNERABLE &
ARE IN POVERTY / LOW INCOME
PROBABLY FOR THE MOST PART
UNLIKE YOU !
YOU DON'T PROTECT ANY COMMUNITY OR PEOPLE ,
YOU PROTECT PROFITS OF THE RICH ,
AND YOU RARELY IF EVER SHUT DOWN
HARMFUL , HATEFUL AUTHORITARIAN BULLUES !
IS IT BECAUSE YOU ARE TOO ?
THAT'S ABLEIST & CENSORSHIP !
If this very political activist meme relating to freedom of expression relating to culture and neurodiversity violates social media community guidelines & this social media account is at risk or is shut down due to violating such social media community guidelines , remember , this very political activist meme relating to freedom of expression relating to culture and neurodiversity is proving it's point !

Regarding leaving BreadTube / LeftTube
Anarchists & Leftists want oppression to end ! We differ in strategy, praxis & perception.
It takes strength to be confident when you are different from the world around you.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9O3CwyrBpOc&list=PLJLbzpbdP5rmwYdlaXaM1tYzNadaen6FK
At the time of the 3 BreadTube appearances , I wasn't aware of what Dialectical Materialism was.
If I was aware that most people were for it, that it means Anti-ME ! ( Idealism ( my MBTI personality type is INFP ) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rb4FYakPAQU and Anti-Metaphysics just means that most people are Atheists and are against New Thought / New Age Spirituality which I'm for as a Spiritual Anarchist.
, and If I was aware of Old Left vs New Left ,
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Old_Left
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Left
https://www.anarchistfaq.org/afaq/sectionA.html#seca36
And how New Left / Cultural Anarchists from the past were saying resinating things that sounded very similar to the situation I was in , https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YqTQEaYzB7M ,
Perhaps those BreadTube appearances wouldn't have happened at all and I won't have been seen on BreadTube / LeftTube in the first place.
This is why I HATE POLITICS !
I much prefer a philosophical perspective on Anarchism instead.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y2oHcb1LjM4
Personality Types and Traits do exist !
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p2KRLhFPIvU
And so does Personality Clash !
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vam6Ht4jN0A
Conflict doesn't need to happen to notice how certain traits / personality types aren't going to get along.
An Anarchist FAQ states the following.
"Hierarchical, authoritarian institutions tend to be self-perpetuating, because growing up under their influence creates submissive/authoritarian personalities. "
Also, not all Anarchists are for Authoritarian Left. https://www.anarchistfaq.org/afaq/sectionH.html
To me, Authoritarianism doesn't mean Left. It means ABUSE !
I've been a victim of ableist hate crime my entire life !
Most by White CisHet Men with Toxic Masculinity problems and a lack of Emotional Intelligence.
Anti-Fascist action to me means END THE TERRORISM !
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fq7RBYzYoHk
Life is easier for the White CisHet Man who's more objective minded and has a right leaning political background.
Not so much for someone who has all odds against her, been a victim of hate crime and still am, and everything I do comes out of my pocket of what little I have to survive on.
Leaving BreadTube / LeftTube doesn't mean quitting the good that I do.
I just feel unwanted.
The support of people who like what I do is always appreciated, thank you. :) _ Erica
