About
The Muppet Joker, also known as Kermit or The Croaker, is a Tumblr blog and character who writes about his dramatic life and adventures on Tumblr alongside several related figures who occasionally also post on Reddit and other sites. The events of the Muppet Joker are collectively known as the Croakerverse.
It is generally believed that the blog is run by a troll and that the Muppet Joker, much like all other persons mentioned in the blog, are fictional characters.
(The Muppet Joker has used a variety of preferred pronouns during his time on Tumblr, with he/him being the most common. For the sake of consistency, this KnowYourMeme entry uses he/him pronouns throughout.)
Personal details
The Muppet Joker identifies as otherkin through the identifies of Kermit the Frog and The Joker in combination,[1] in addition to other occasional other characters such as Applejack ,[44] Bro Strider ,[51] and others. and He also describes himself as being in a relationship with both Kermit and the Joker.
During his first few months of activity, he hated women and refused to speak to women,[1] but later changed his mind to identify as a “dark feminist” and vary his pronouns.[41][42] He writes a lot of fanfiction about the characters he kins and ships. He owns a Kermit plushie that he uses as a sex toy.
During one period of the blog, the Muppet Joker's real name has been given as Colter White,[6] born on December 25th, 2001. He lives in Kentucky,[96] United States and plays badminton.[11] He is also a gay man and a practicing Catholic.
During a later period, the writer of the story identified himself as Norman Light, and that writing the blog caused him to fall out with his wife and child. It is, however, usually believed that this was not an earnest reveal, but rather simply another layer of the fictional story – the blog has in fact alluded to this.[66]
Reception
