Community Rules:
~ 1. No bigotry. Hating someone off of their race, culture, creed, sexuality, or identity is not remotely acceptable. Mistakes can happen but do your best to respect others.
~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person. This includes speculating about someones sexuality, no matter how "obvious" it may be.
~ 4. Keep it LGBTQ+ related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.
~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love posts but 3-4 in an hour is plenty enough.
~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.
~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon' and fuck over our artist friends.

IASIP is honestly incredible for the trans rep it has though, especially for 20 years ago. It shows Carmen living a happy and fulfilling life as an absolutely gorgeous woman, contrasted against the Gang being miserable and shitty, it's basically some of the best rep in a sitcom IMO. As is the case with IASIP, the joke isn't at the expense of the minority, but at the Gang for being pieces of shit. They're not telling you to laugh with them when they're like "Omg woman with a penis!", you're laughing at them for how incredibly shitty they're being to this person. I find Lily Simpson's breakdown pretty great.
This reminds me of the regular problem with these kind of comedies, that has been analyzed to death by essays on the internet. Shitty people have no self awareness or media literacy. So they don't notice when the show is making fun of them, and usually misinterpret the jokes as support for their shit POV. People who identify with George Constanta of Seinfeld, or bojack horseman, etc. They don't realize that the show is calling them out. They are not heroes, they're the butt of the joke.
There's people who think Bojack is aspirational?
Always Sunny goes out of their way to play really shitty human beings. And then flip the script so they're always seen as shitty human beings.
Anyone who thinks the Gang is behavior you should emulate is really missing the point.
It's so over the top and everyone in it was such a cartoonish piece of shit I couldn't really handle watching it as a series. Everyone just annoyed me way too much. All Gas No Brakes for that works for some, just not so much me; hard when there's zero redeeming qualities for characters.
Ive heard that argument before and, ok sure i can see its validity - she's gorgeous! But as soon as they started misgendering her i was like nope im out.
