This new character adds to the roster of multicultural Sesame Street puppets like the HIV-positive one for South Africa, and the shaheed bomb-child of Gaza. Just kidding about the Gaza one! No such thing!
ISN'T THIS JUST GREAT.
So "Zari" is supposed to "empower young girls". Isn't that special? Zari is going to be a doctor! In Afghanistan. Sure, that's believable and "empowering". I guess Zari could empower them if they make it to adulthood before being honour murdered.
Now, now, you say-let's not OFFEND the misogynists!
Never fear! All cultures are equal and shall be accommodated!
"Producers of the show, however, have also teamed up with the country's Ministry of Education in a bid to reduce any cultural resistance to the character."
I wonder if Zari has already experienced FGM? Are there clinics for female slut puppets?
"With her purple face and tangle of brown, blue and orange wool hair, Zari will wear clothes ranging from casual to traditional, and will be veiled where appropriate."
(SO EMPOWERING!!!)
And frankly, she looks like a Western infidel slut!
I can see her puppet face under that veil!!!
And her HANDS are exposed. I suspect Zari's days are numbered.
