I mean... can't disagree there. Broadly speaking, sexual harassment isn't really funny in a post-#MeToo world regardless of gender, especially when you have men like Terry Crews and Brendan Frasier speaking out about their experiences IMHO.

In fairness to The Muppets, I think early Ms. Piggy was considered funny to some because she flipped the script on the whole "obsessive stalker/sexual harasser" deal by being a domineering, forceful female character, which were fairly rare in that era. Very much a product of its time and Disney has toned her down significantly (she's less obsessed about Kermit and more leaning into the whole "#girlboss" thing from what I can tell), but it's one of those things where you kinda need to look at it in the context of the times.

Agreed. Even at the time (and as a kid) I thought her obsession was kind of weird, but I understand why they played it that way at the time. The changes and updates to her character have been good ones, though.
