I've seen that episode. Brian dates a trans woman, finds out she is trans, then vomits for like 3 minutes straight. Then the family makes fun of him for it. It was awful

[โ€“] Cromalin@hexbear.net 52 points 2 years ago (1 children)

yeah this is why i hate family guy memes. and why the 4chan post is mystifying

[โ€“] MaoTheLawn@hexbear.net 30 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

Apparently one of the writers/producers on that episode had a father that transitioned, which makes it extra strange/sad.

Anyway, I think there's a later episode which isn't as bad (low bar), which is what the dad in this scenario could be talking about. I don't remember it that well, but at the time I remember sighing at the start of the episode and then by the end perhaps being a little charitable in interpreting the moral of the episode as 'gender dysphoria is serious and a good solution is supportive transition.'

EDIT: haven't seen the episode in a long long time so who knows

[โ€“] Cromalin@hexbear.net 21 points 2 years ago

huh. good for them i guess? still hope whoever was involved in that first episode dies in a fire

she is also Quagmire's parent

[โ€“] KarlBarqs@hexbear.net 38 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (2 children)

If I remember correctly too, Brian gets beaten up by Quagmire for this, and then tries to gotcha Quagmire by misgendering the woman as well, which the episode treats as an own

It's a disgusting episode through and through

[โ€“] Dessa@hexbear.net 23 points 2 years ago

And Seth MacFarlane bragged about how positive it was.

[โ€“] LeylaLove@hexbear.net 7 points 2 years ago

Brian gets beaten up for just being an asshole, Quagmire beats him up not knowing that he slept with her. It's used as the punchline of the fight.

Cishet middle aged men have some of the strangest brains.

[โ€“] Cromalin@hexbear.net 22 points 2 years ago

if it works it works, but i feel so bad for anon having to deal with this

[โ€“] polskilumalo@lemmygrad.ml 12 points 2 years ago

I gave up on trying to understand my father a looooooong time ago. He's like a box of chocolates, except some have cyanide.

[โ€“] Phish@hexbear.net 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

At this point I'm not even sure what a normal brain looks like

I think mine is more of a linguini.

Uncritical support to Cromalin for bringing me all the best /tttt/ memes to my feed, that I otherwise would not have because I cannot stand to browse the board anymore.

[โ€“] Cromalin@hexbear.net 18 points 2 years ago

rat-salute

i have a bunch that are a little too nsfw for me to feel good posting them here, but there's some that i will be posting at some point in the future!

Our bravest scout

[โ€“] voight@hexbear.net 32 points 2 years ago (1 children)

just like the church of latter day saints and black people

[โ€“] voight@hexbear.net 39 points 2 years ago (4 children)

they changed their mind about them being cursed descendants of cain iirc

[โ€“] Cromalin@hexbear.net 24 points 2 years ago (1 children)

i knew that, i just wasn't 100% sure how that applied here

[โ€“] LeylaLove@hexbear.net 15 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Not Cain, Lamanites. And they didn't change their minds on that overall

[โ€“] voight@hexbear.net 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

They just want the optics, huh? Makes sense

[โ€“] LeylaLove@hexbear.net 3 points 2 years ago

After civil rights laws passed, they weren't allowed to uphold not allowing people of color into the church. Once that happened, Mormons had to backstep. However, anybody who knows the Book of Mormon will tell you that there is no alternate reading that makes them not racist. Mark of Cain has some leeway, Bible never specifies too much on that. Book of Mormon is very specific

[โ€“] GhostSpider@hexbear.net 6 points 2 years ago

Can't believe the church gone woke smh.

[โ€“] zifnab25@hexbear.net 21 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Is this the future liberals want?

[โ€“] Cromalin@hexbear.net 10 points 2 years ago

i am a liberal, like all other posters on this fine forum, and i say absolutely fucking not

I always found it weird that South Park amended their stance of trans people before Family Guy (assuming they ever do). Don't get me wrong the show is still awful fucking garbage but I guess whatever mild credit it's due.

[โ€“] AssortedBiscuits@hexbear.net 16 points 2 years ago (1 children)

This sounds more like some bizarre treat-brained cope from a transphobe who wished he still had a son(?).

[โ€“] Cromalin@hexbear.net 19 points 2 years ago

im going to trust anon when they say their dad was chill with it, but it wouldn't surprise me if you were right

[โ€“] Frogmanfromlake@hexbear.net 15 points 2 years ago

Family guy fans always respond to criticisms of the show with, "Family guy makes fun of everyone you f-slur"

[โ€“] 7bicycles@hexbear.net 12 points 2 years ago

There's a surprising amount of people stumbling ass-backwards into cool positions

[โ€“] Phish@hexbear.net 7 points 2 years ago

My mind is about 90% a mix of Simpsons and Sopranos references so I can't really talk shit. I don't use them as a guide for decision making or anything though.
