@sweetrosette replied to your post: anonymous asked:what's wrong with...
Family guy is satire, not serious. Satire is made with the intent to make fun of something while pointing out that it is wrong and should be changed. Which Family Guy does quite a good job of by the way. Simpsons also does a good job of it.
in which i reply that satire is to make fun of social issues which family guy does not do. instead it uses social issues as the base of the show to be "controversial". never has a person seen family guy and immediately after watching it say "man, i should treat outcasts like meg nicer, and be a better person" they think "haha girls with big boobs are stupid and girls who won't give in are frigid".
and on that note satire is not an excuse to be racist, sexist, homophobic, and ableist. anyone who says otherwise is just trying to excuse themselves for being racist, sexist, homophobic, and ableist.
