Their chickens are coming home to roost.
They have quite a bit to answer for and not to the woke mobs they are scared of now. These mobs are simply the fruits of what they started many years ago.
It was subtle but not unnoticed that their protagonist was a precocious teenager. Adult were none to bright and the dimest of them all was naturally the father figure, Homer. If any brightness was displayed by adults Marge would be standing ready.
Subtle undermining of authority and the nuclear family aimed at children and teens.
And now they are reaping their harvest. Scared of being cancelled we now see them pandering to the woke masses they helped create.
I was trying to remember back to the start of the Simpsons.
Back then, the idiot dad was really a joke.
But today its as if it is even more than a stereotype, it has just become the norm (in TV world)
And the "woke" always eat there own.
This is an astute observation. It does no good to undermine father figures. The popularity of marriage is at an all-time low. Young men are increasingly opting out of fatherhood because who wants to be an object of ridicule and hate.
Family Guy looks like parody of the Simpsons because the protagonist in it is a super intelligent toddler.
They were never Southpark but once in a while they did something cool - like mr burns aka rotchild!
