The Social Implications of receiving a Donut
Let’s do a little comparison
Family Guy
- Rape jokes
- Eating disorder jokes
- Pedophilia jokes
- Racist jokes
- Molestation jokes
- Self harm jokes
King of the Hill
- Body positive
- No rape jokes, ever.
- No eating disorder jokes, ever.
- No pedophilia, because Hank would’ve kicked their ass.
- The closest thing to racism was Racist Dawg, and that wasn’t really racist.
- Self harm jokes? Nope.
Reblogging again because there was an episode in which Hank swam with the dolphins after Louanne got a job as a drink girl at La Grunta and he got …courted by a dolphin and meanwhile Louanne at her job was being fondled and sexually harassed. The hotel tried to buy off Hank’s silence about the issue, also he’s fucking Hank Hill, he’s not going to want to discuss getting humped by a dolphin. However, at the end of the episode he not only comes forward about something that made him uncomfortable, he fucking threw the guy that was making grabs at his niece into the pool with the dolphin. Ok, not the BEST way to handle the situation?? but the message still stands: if someone fucks with you, don’t just take it. Don’t let people try to silence you. You fucking stand up for yourself and make sure it doesn’t happen to anyone else. You are stronger than you think.
ive been obsessively watching this show for a while now and i started season four last night so i’m not entirely sure of the content beyond those episodes but
saying there are no racist jokes isn’t entiiiiirely accurate? but it’s not inaccurate either. some of the earliest episodes deal with the (mostly) internalized racism of the main characters towards khan and his family… but unlike family guy, the white characters generally make fools of themselves, suffer for it, and then learn and grow from it.
there’s sexist/misogynist content/jokes out the ass, but nine times out of ten it’s dealing with either peggy or other female characters facing it and then tackling it head-on, proving it wrong, and causing changes that result in more equality and respect for themselves. when it’s not about them, it’s uuuusually about hank’s dad cotton, and he mostly suffers for his wrongs. cotton also serves to show that some people are assholes and can’t be changed, and it’s usually better to remove those people or avoid them for your own happiness.
a couple times things like depression and post traumatic stress disorder and anxiety have even come up. there are some jokes about them but??? mostly the plots deal with the characters overcoming those things or dealing with those things in their relationships with other characters (like the person above me said, “you are stronger than you think.”)
seriously, watch this show. it’s on netflix instant streaming and it’s worth it.
instant favorite character there was no contest amethyst has stolen my heart
also psyched cause this show is gonna be Fucking Awesome
ive been having a really anxious day. it might be because i dont have anything to do? Im normally at work, or i had plans but i feel like something bad is gonna happen. everyone be careful okay uwu
