To be fair, Wesley is right. It's kinda odd that anyone would attack a children's character on live TV. I don't understand why he did that.

Clearly you have never been exposed to the comedy of Larry David. Apparently Will Wheaton hasn't either.

You would think Wil of all people would understand that someone like Larry David couldn't just walk on to a talk show, interrupt filming, and start choking out a mascot character like Elmo without all of those details having explicitly been planned and written out prior to filming.

I'll give Will a pass for this since he said it reminded him of abuse he suffered in the past from his dad. I mean I see where he's coming from. I don't think this bit was worth going nuclear over, though.

Wil Wheaton literally said he got triggered because that's the way his dad used to beat him as a kid (plus he loves the muppets). You may not agree with him, but it would take a complete lack of empathy not to recognize why this would be difficult for him to watch. Wil Wheaton has been pretty open about his abusive childhood, mental health struggles, and so forth. I think he gets a pass on this to feel however he wants.

Yes I'm sure Larry David and the Today Show planned this out to attack him specifically.

I'm in agreement. I'm not sure I agree with his assessment, but it's understandable. Dragging him on social media seems a bit much

He's more than capable of being the bigger man and making a follow-up post where he apologizes for his unhinged rant but hopes people can understand that it came from a place of personal trauma. I'm sure people would be more than happy to give him the benefit of the doubt if he does anything other than smugly double down on his own assessment and then block people who disagree with him.

I was expecting to see Larry David brutally throttling Elmo for an extended period of time.

All he did was very briefly (1-2 seconds) put his hand over the puppet's mouth, and do a comedy missed swipe at it.
