It’s genuinely amazing to me that a Mediocre White Man can spend 20 years creating shows and movies that treat bigotry as a joke, but because the motherfucker donated some money to LGBTQIA groups and stumped for Bernie, he’s hailed as a progressive.
Seth MacFarlane created shows that dealt heavily in anti-black racism, antisemitism, ableism, Ace Ventura-levels of transphobia, rampant and vicious misogyny, normalized rape culture, abuse as a joke, pedophilia as a joke, and violent Islamophobia. He actually fought really hard for a scene where Quagmire rapes Marge Simpson to be aired on live TV – FOUGHT FOR IT, TOOTH AND NAIL – and is still angry that FOX wouldn’t let him get away with it.
He taught generations of young white guys that this shit was okay to say and believe because it was “just a joke” – hell, I’ll bet there’s a good Venn diagram between Family Guy fans and Trump supporters – and anyone who criticized him was just some boring, humorless PC police asshole.
And now people want to call his poorly-written, aggressively bigoted shit “satire” and give him brownie points for *appearing* progressive instead of actually being progressive.
Like, please demand more from your progressive allies than some fucking rich, white jackass who screams “Bigotry is cool! (Kidding)” in all his work, and does the bare fucking minimum every few years to be progressive.
You idiots: I’m sorry but I don’t think the american healthcare system is as bad as you’re making it out to be. You’re just trying to scam people.
The american healthcare system:
Like, breaking bad wasn’t exaggerating, y'all. A lot of Americans turn to selling drugs, sex work, illegal activities, to get their meds or pay things like medical bills. America is fucked. We’re not being overdramatic.
EXACTLY!!! and honestly the reason I started smoking cannabis is because I couldn’t afford the medication for my seizures. My doctor suggested marijuana (which was not legal where I was living at the time) because even our doctors know that the healthcare system is FUCKED andwe can’t afford the price of our lives.
🙌 🙌 🙌
My medicine was declined by insurance. Without it, the cost was $530. It’s a blood thinner that is incredibly important.
I was told today that my insurance accepted my blood thinners and I was so happy.
Only to find out that the cost instead is now $350. 🙃
See!!! Look at this shit!! I’m not the only one having these issues, guys. The only reason you think it’s so far-fetched is because it’s not happening to you.
