I sure hope nobody has discovered the lifeless body of Frank Oz’s career in a ditch somewhere. The voice/creator/puppeteer of Yoda stepped forward earlier this week to boldly state, “Crazy, progressivism is.” And that usually means a fatwa of sorts is put out for the one who refuses to drink the woke Kool-Aid.
More specifically, Oz came to the defense of Bert and Ernie, characters whom he also breathed life into, by taking issue with a writer of Sesame Street who said the two longtime buddies were in, in fact, gay.
Except: “They’re not, of course,” Oz tweeted.
“But why that question? Does it really matter? Why the need to define people as only gay? There’s much more to a human being than just straightness or gayness,” Oz said. “I created Bert. I know what and who he is.”
So that settles it, then. Yeah, right. Consider it about as settled as Pope Francis’ orthodoxy.
The truth rarely sets us free any more, but instead is usually urinated on in a dark alley somewhere by an emotionally juvenile anarchist passing themselves off as a reasonable adult. Oz’s own understanding and defense of the intellectual property that he created was thus viewed as counterfeit by those like a comedian named Rhea Butcher, because in progressivism, “my truth” always trumps “the truth.”
“As a gay kid who grew up with immense happiness from your creations,” tweeted Butcher, “this tweet makes me so very sad.”

Untruth eventually consumes any nation over time, leading to downfall. It is who men are.
It’s called “Relativism.”

And, you were exactly right.
