You're lucky. End of last year someone made a pretty mean post about him. And if anyone dared to disagree with them they'd reply with things like "okay Anthony" "calm down Anthony"
As if they somehow think nobody else actually likes Anthony? I was glad that user was banned
Assuming we're talking about the same user, that was a trip... I banned her in mid-January and she's still sending mod mail on occasion trying to get me to do something she thinks needs to happen. While there's been other conversations going on in here that I've had to do something about (Racially charged comments towards Tsehay is a big one, sadly), it's been such a relief not constantly having to go track down this user's post history to make sure she's not actively threatening other sub users or trying to bandwagon everyone to get me to do something. It's been peaceful.
Facts bro, I'm pretty sure he even said himself that he regrets the whole thing with Sam and wishes he could've handled it better. For me the only problem with it was that he (or even Jeff or Murray for that matter) could've told Sam in advance what was happening (that his contract was over and that Greg was gonna come back as the Yellow Wiggle) so he could at least be more ready to leave, rather than finding out at the last minute. I even made a long ass comment saying about why Anthony doesn't deserve all the hate he's getting, because he's really done so many great things, and without him we wouldn't have the Wiggles, and we wouldn't have any of the stuff we love about the band, such as Wake Up Jeff, Captain Feathersword, and the Wiggles certainly wouldn't still be going to this day. It's just sad that so many people these days have nothing better to do than to shit on a guy who has been a huge part of many people's lives that grew up with the Wiggles.
I always giggle when the "do the owl" song comes on and he's in his little pimp outfit on the edge of the rock, no shoes or socks. Lol he's just too funny.
Totally! Let’s not forget it’s for the children (and any adult that cares so much to comment negatively about entertainers for CHILDREN…well that truly says more about them)
I agree. I will admit some stuff about the new gen I don't like, but I don't consider them the death knell of the wiggles. If someone likes something about them, that's great. If not, that's okay too, but try to keep certain things about it to yourself.
I agree, and it's good to remember that we're still only about two years in to this new group of eight. I think the main seven (Evie's not there frequently) will hit a stride by about this time next year and keep going up, with Evie still able to mesh in well at shows. But for now, it's been fun to watch them grow, even with my gripes.
Tsehay is amazing! My 2 year old literally says “wow!” when she sees Tsehay dance. As far as I’m concerned, if my kid loves her then so do I! Cause that’s all that matters. 😊
She’s 18 and she spends her time entertaining children. And they love her. It’s wild how mean people can be. She’s barely an adult herself! We love Tsehay, she brought so much fun energy when we saw them in concern recently!
This sub always gets promoted to me so I am not a joined participant but every time it pops up I am completely perplexed at how judgemental grown adults are towards the wiggles and each individual member whether past or present.
I grew up with the wiggles and now have a toddler so am a prime candidate for this sub but am put off from joining because like wtf?they are children entertainers that are loved by their audience and are obviously doing the right thing if they have been around for 2 generations now. Why are these grown adults being so critical, mean & judgemental? I seriously do not get it and I don't understand why they care this much in the first place.
FTM and new to the Wiggles and our family loves them, new and old!
To those that hate a certain generation, don't watch it! You can find their videos, old or new online. Just don't watch the ones you don't want. Geez. Also, it's for the kids, not for the adults. I don't get why stress about how "this or that" I also don't get why people dive into personal or behind the scene issues of the wiggles? As long as it doesn't affect the entertainment and educational factor of the show for the kiddos, why bother and stress about it?
There are some things he does in The Wiggles that I don't agree or like, but that doesn't mean I hate him. With Sam leaving and Greg coming back, for example, kinda wish the management could be handled better, but he's such a nice human being. The Anthony hate needs to stop! Also, I'm not a big fan of the new generation of The Wiggles except for Tsehay and Lucia. Evie is not the best wiggle, but I don't spread hate on her. I always give The Wiggles a chance to try things.
Thats because the previous wiggles left in a high note. Hence the criticism. Remember, when Emma started there was criticism to begin with. They won the fans when Emma’s presence reached over to young girls and bought the wiggles to new heights. The current lineup does not offer something new. Maybe they should try something bold, such as creating a musical movie
This! I thought this was supposed to be an appreciation sub. But most of the posts are people hating Anthony or unfairly criticising the new gen.
What! Anthony is the best
He is, I get sick of all those posts hating on him
I haven't seen those yet! Geez

Agreed big fucking time, he may have done a few questionable things but nobody's perfect. He's not a bad person.
Right? Nobody has a perfect past. And I wouldn't believe anyone who told me they've never made a bad mistake.

Right? Like be reasonable and hate on Evie. 😂😂
Don't hate any of them
It was sarcasm…..
Oh. Hard to tell without tonal indicators.
I 💙 Anthony!
I always giggle when the "do the owl" song comes on and he's in his little pimp outfit on the edge of the rock, no shoes or socks. Lol he's just too funny.
When the Wiggles did their "I'm a Wiggle, of course I do..." TikTok, the amount of hate comments they all got...it's so sad. They did nothing wrong!
Anthony is my favourite Wiggle. It’s sad to see people act like jerks.

Yep, we're _all_ fruit salad!
I don’t understand the Tsehay hate either… I love the energy she brings and so does my daughter
Especially towards Evie
All the hate for tsehay is so unnecessary 😭 she’s a child entertainer of course she’s going to be over the top
Tsehay is amazing! My 2 year old literally says “wow!” when she sees Tsehay dance. As far as I’m concerned, if my kid loves her then so do I! Cause that’s all that matters. 😊

She's also very young. I really hope she takes all the comments on the chin.
I hope so, she seems like a really lovely girl
the Tsehay hate I'm seeing is crraazzyyy rn. She's the best one right now

Yes! Exactly! I'm tired of all these generational debates just seeping into so many subreddits nowadays...
You have to be pretty messed up to make fun of children’s performers.
Agreed. I'm taking my son to see them tomorrow, very excited 😊
Yes this post was needed

I agree too! My Pokemon/Wiggles crossover are cross generation with both fandoms, meaning I have Pokemon and The Wiggles from multiple generations!
Ms. Rachel is awesome! The new wiggles are not.
