Why is Miss Piggy canceled? Following calls to cancel Pepé Le Pew for perpetuating rape tradition, some are calling for her to fulfill a equivalent destiny.

If it seems like every time you flip round, another liked persona out of your early life is getting canceled, then you're not going to feel free about this. On the heels of six Dr. Seuss books not being revealed (rightfully, for depicting racist stereotypes) were requires standard '80s and '90s characters — like Pepé Le Pew, Speedy Gonzales, and Miss Piggy from The Muppets — to get the boot as well.

But why are folks going after the boisterous diva? Let's take a better glance.

Why is Miss Piggy canceled?

If you are like the general public who're acquainted with The Muppets, then you most likely take into accout Miss Piggy as this larger-than-life persona who was infatuated with now not only herself, but with Kermit the Frog. And, spoiler alert: She did not take no for an answer.

Miss Piggy had wishes and desires, dang it, and she didn't prevent till they have been realized. But she's the epitome of feminine empowerment, proper? Well... no longer so rapid.

Unfortunately, Miss Piggy additionally aggressively pursued her soft-spoken beau, Kermit, despite his protesting differently. Not to say, she often verbally and bodily abused him. This conduct hasn't elderly smartly. That mixed with the fresh cancellation of Looney Toons character Pepé Le Pew for perpetuating rape tradition is why Twitter customers began calling for Miss Piggy to be canceled in March 2021.

One Twitter user wrote, "When are we canceling Miss Piggy for normalising rape culture?" alongside a GIF of Miss Piggy mauling Kermit with undesirable bodily affection.

Another GIF shared by way of Twitter confirmed Miss Piggy literally karate-chopping Kermit — one thing she did on a semi-regular foundation for a while, there.

"Never thought I'd see the day when Pepe Le Pew would get canceled. Can't wait to see Miss Piggy canceled for physical and emotional abuse toward Kermit," they wrote. "She's been karate chopping him since the 70's, poor little ba----d."

Another particular person tweeted, "So, when are the 'cancel culture' folk gonna get Miss Piggy on chopping block?  I mean, she is regularly verbally and physically abusive to Kermit. She'd beat him when he said he didn't want to be with her. She's a toxic muppet with anger issues. That's cancelable, right?"

Not everybody was pleased with the calls to cancel Miss Piggy — they usually were not afraid to proportion their thoughts about "cancel culture" as a whole, either.

One Twitter person argued towards canceling Miss Piggy, writing, "THE PAST IS IN THE PAST. It doesn't represent the characters today."

Meanwhile, another person tweeted, "I love you, Miss Piggy! Deep down, Kermit does, too. He may not be 'in love' with you, but he loves you and would miss you! Don’t let the cancel mob make you leave! You’re a strong female! We need you!"

So a ways, The Muppets, which is owned through Disney, has not commented on the calls to cancel Miss Piggy.

What do you assume? Does Miss Piggy deserve to be canceled, much like Pepé Le Pew has been, for perpetuating rape culture? Or has "cancel culture" as soon as again centered a loved persona for petty reasons?
