I apologize for nothing.
I’ve noticed an uptick in Bobs Burgers posts the past few days, and gotta say im fucking here for it
I have never deliberately sat down to watch Bobs Burgers because I don’t really like comedy TV shows, but every time I see a clip from it or an episode happens to be on nearby it’s fantastic
It’s about a struggling family making it work. They talk a lot about being broke or missing rent payments. It’s just kind of nice to see characters have conversations you could have in some form.
It’s like night and day compared to dreck like the Simpsons or Family Guy, even before they went bad
Everything Frank Grimes said about the Simpsons was right and Bob’s Burgers is the answer to his criticism
I will give Family Guy a bit of credit for being more self aware than the Simpsons, they know they’re trash and they’ve accepted it
It’s a very… like… relatable and good-faith kind of comedy. The characters are funny because they’re flawed weirdos, but the show invites you to enjoy and identify with their weirdness instead of mocking them for it. You’re supposed to empathize and identify with the family while also laughing at their antics. It’s very sincere.
Please believe me Alistair, Leliana means nothing to me.
Tina is such a good character
Such a relatable character
She was originally boy but they gender swapped her because he would’ve been too creepy.
tfw every last Single in stardew valley is also bisexual
Ehh, not exactly. The game changes them to fit you. They make no mention of liking the same sex unless you’ve started trying to romance them as the same sex.
And there’s one girl that has an ex-boyfriend when you play as a guy, but an ex-girlfriend when you play as a girl. It would have been a great opportunity to include just a bit of actual bisexuality, but instead it changes the ex’s gender to match your own.
Here’s a good video about bisexuality in games that uses Stardew Valley as an example for the first ~10 minutes.
With the “everyone’s sexuality depends on yours” approach they should at least have the courage to make characters who are never into your gender. Like a woman who is straight if you’re a woman and a lesbian if you’re a man.
I’d love that. Just a character made unavailable in reaction to your choices. They just have to not cave to fan pressure.
