While I agree with the author's take on the matter, I can't help but find this all to be somewhat rather amusing knowing those who are now quick to defend Sesame Place on that particular issue are alot of the very same individuals who not so long ago wanted to boycott Sesame Street over certain muppet characters who were promoting the Covid vaccine. Truly peculiar times we live in. Anyways, I do think there was a misunderstanding there with that Rosita character, more to the story than what the mainstream medias have presented so far.
