Penny Waxman (The Muppets Mayhem)

From day one, the fandom has been awful about Penny. They hate that she's canonically in a relationship with Dr. Teeth, and they throw every stereotype about Jewish women at her to try to invalidate that. They call her ugly and gross and say there's no way Dr. Teeth would be attracted to her, and they portray her as shrill and nagging and angry for no reason. The whole premise of the show is that, years ago, Dr. Teeth and his band broke their contract with her record label and ran off with their $420,000 advance instead of delivering an album. She has every right to be angry about that!! She should've been even angrier than she was!! But no, the fandom acted like she was just angry for the sake of being angry. And when they reconcile, Dr. Teeth is shown to absolutely adore her, but people acted like she was manipulating him or trying to sabotage him. Basically the fandom can't handle that their blorbo is in love with a fat loud self-made Jewish woman, and they deserve every Yiddish curse in her vocabulary.

Her design was based on Iris Apfel! How cool is that!
