Saltzman was in a relationship with the film editor Arnold Glassman, who died in 2003. He added that he “always felt that without a huge agenda, when I was writing Bert and Ernie, they were [a couple]. I didn’t have any other way to contextualise them. The other thing was, more than one person referred to Arnie and I as ‘Bert and Ernie’.”
Saltzman said that though he looks “more Bert-ish”, he “was Ernie” in a relationship that came to influence his work.
“I don’t think I’d know how else to write them, but as a loving couple. I wrote sketches … Arnie’s OCD would create friction with how chaotic I was. And that’s the Bert and Ernie dynamic.”
sure and Judy Garland sang over the rainbow simply to honor the LGBT movement back during the time there wasn’t one the movie she was in had NOTHING to do with the song
I never thought Bert was gay, as most skits Ernie was annoying the absolute crap out of him, and Bert would even have to go to the kitchen sometimes to get away from all the racket Ernie kept making
don’t you mean FORMER writer? yeah the fact that Jim Henson is dead and cant tell the true story behind the character HE created and this writer is no longer with the show had no influence on his tell all book
JIm Henson created those characters and just because some disgruntled EX EMPLOYEE makes a claim that is directly affected by his own relationship means nothing
just a sad little man upset over losing his job so he makes a bunch of unsubstantiated claims and puts it in a book
If it works the way I think it works, they put so many flags down in their false flagging campaign that they bogged the system up. When it would normally be unlocked it has to keep catching up.
We should delete humans and all traces of any relationship in the lore. Right?
And yes, it was flagging abuse. Flagging something you don’t agree with is a violation of the code of conduct, and something Blizzard has said they will take action on if someone does it too much. It’s only to be used if a thread/post violates the CoC. And asking for more inclusion in the game in a discussion forum about said game is not.
