Guess why The Guardian is mad at a fictional victim of domestic abuse?

Oh for fucks sake, even the guardian picked up this story, I'm convinced now that tumblr feminists and guardian writers are colluding with each other for them to write this bullshit.

This is the year of sympathising with Jennifer Garner, not some nanny-diddling Ben Affleck type; of applauding Susan Sarandon for dating a much younger man and looking down on Mel Gibson for doing something similar;

Oh, fuck off. You're not even pretending it is about equality anymore.

I recall Mrs. Piggy as an abusive, controlling, emotional time-bomb. She'd openly punch Kermit in the face and it was "funny".

I'm sure a clever writer with a more progressive view of DV could re-write this article from a much different perspective.

Nowadays, Miss Piggy is a beloved feminist icon

Which tells you everything you need to know about modern day feminsim, when they decide to give a feminist award to a fucking muppet pig. And I can't stop laughing my ass off that the "feminist pig icon" has been "controlled" by... 2 men. :D

Will these people realize what a complete joke they have become...

Kermit the Frog's new girlfriend is younger, thinner

Yea, how dare they make the new pig younger and thinner. We all know that a modern day "real" woman is a land whale. Oh, and she also must be hairy, let's not forget hair. Hair and obesity is what feminist strive to achieve nowadays, such high standards, such awesome goals!

I seriously can't stop laughing at such monstrous level of stupidity. You know that you've hit rock bottom when your feminist "icon" is an old, fat muppet pig... Not the portrayal of actual strong women like Black Widow by Scarlett Johansson or Furiosa by Charlize Theron but a pig... a fucking muppet pig. Keep digging, feminism, but I'm afraid you're already on the bottom anyway...

lol this is too good, feminists really are toddlers.

cookies colouring books and bubbles to cope with the change in miss piggy.

genuinely fucking hilariously pathetic.

Maybe Kermit broke up with her because of the years of violent abuse, and started seeing Denise because she's a nice person...you know, looking beyond the physical appearance?

Apparently feminists only see body types, and can't recognize abuse when they see it.

Miss Piggy is a beloved feminist icon who covers Bitch Better Have My Money and Fuck the Pain Away.

Feminists claim that the media at large and the MRM support and idolize men who beat women. I can't think of any sympathetic male character in any TV show. Who beats his girlfriend or wife as much miss piggy beats Kermit the frog.

Really? This is a story? Two hands wrapped in felt making funny voices and telling fictional stories and committing pseudo-cartoon levels of violence, and we're supposed to take this seriously?

I just... can't.

The author looks like a moss piggy, may explain why she takes this stance hahaha

If they kept the old Piggy, they'd be perpetuating the trope of the emotionally unstable harpy.

This is one of the dumbest articles I have ever read. Talk about reaching...

Then I read this comment, and laughed and laughed...

Has anyone else noticed that the author somewhat resembles the new pig... only the author is fatter... http://www.singledudetravel.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/megan_carpentier_totally_looks_like_denise_the_pig.jpg

It can be tough to work with your ex … It can be tough to be the executive producer on your ex’s late-night TV show, especially when your ex is a pig. I don’t know whether any of you have ever dated pigs.

ahahahha
