And John Cleese is now a transphobe. Go figure. (Other members are cool from what I've heard)

There's also the lumberjack song...

huh, i always thought that was played for laughs, bc satire. but i may be wrong of course

I mean, Loretta is also made fun of, but so it everyone else in the movie.

One of the most egregious examples I can think of from recent media was from Kimmy Schmidt where the people that take issue with trans/enbyphobia were turned into the butt of a joke because.... they're annoying I guess?

Came out of left field in a show I thought was queer friendly but I realized later on that it tracks with the brand of feminism that Tina Fey follows. (I never watched 30 Rock and don't intend to so I had no idea she was already problematic)

No, that old stuff is just as bad. Go watch the end of Ace Ventura: Pet Detective. It was just simpler then because the writers considered that type of hate to be ubiquitous instead of needing nuance or explanation.

It's like saying older racism wasn't as bad as the more recent attempts to galvanize people into nazis. But I contend it was for the same reason above. You're seeing recent attempts at both towards being more palatable specifically because it's not as accepted now.

I love that agents Cooper try to understand her instead of freaking out.

fix your hearts or die

I watch that show its actually pretty safe outside of that one weird episode where bill hits rock bottom and thinks he's his exwife though I don't really think of that one as transphonic per se

There's one episode with a drag queen, not trans. It's pretty positive! She thinks Peggy is also a drag queen and they become best friends. It ends that way too.

Scrubs? That sucks. No episodes come to mind, do you happen to remember which one(s)?

Some people are starting to shift their opinions on it, but jokes about men being raped (especially in prison) are weirdly accepted.

I'd hope it'd be things relating to our treatment of non-human animals. There's a pretty good talk making that case (not so much in terms of jokes, but in general)

I'm going to hope it's about wanting to kill ourselves all the time, because if it becomes taboo I hope it's because we have actually managed to make life better and thus suicide rates drop, but I honestly don't know if we will get any better tbh

I though you said you were from Iran.

But seriously I don't think that episode was harmful.

Douglas is just a general asshole.
