Psalm100 ago

Thanks for the link. Please see my latest edit, which includes examples of pro-pedophile dialogue on FG.

You seem to be classifying every reference to pedophilia as an endorsement..... I have to ask are you a pedophile?

Psalm100 ago

I'll answer your charge from the Bible. The apostle Paul wrote that today we know only in part, but one day God will reveal all. So then, when God does that, you'll know the truth about your accusation of me. Since our only way of knowing each other is through the internet and you're accusing me of something like that, that's all I can say. But I will also tell you that the Bible records Jesus saying that people will have to give an account for every word we say in our lives, even every idle word. To God, five minutes or five or five hundred years ago is as real as the present is to us, and what we say is eternal. And the Bible speaks of things being our masters, if God isn't our master. And they master us. I don't wish for the things of this world to be my master, and myself a slave to them.

Sooo do you think the Indiana Jones films "normalize" nazis because they depict them?

Psalm100 ago

Again, you're trying to make depiction and endorsement/normalization mutually exclusive things. The Nazis in Indiana Jones and pedophilia in Family Guy are treated in wholly different ways.

Not really, they both are shown as wrong and those who sympathize always get their due. Maybe provide an example of pedophilia being portrayed positively on family guy or go away?

Psalm100 ago

Not true. "Jokes" that are straight up the alley of pedophiles are the very substance of the show. Several of them are posted above. Just to take two, those beginning with "Suzy scampers into the room and into Quagmire’s arms," and "You really think Meg is college material, Principal Sheppard?" They both embrace pedophilia.

I think you have a very different definition of "embrace" than the rest of america....

Did you actually watch the scenes or just read the PTC's bias report of them.

Do any of those characters look like they approve of where Peter gave the rasberry?

Psalm100 ago

We're getting close to just going in circles, and you really don't respond to evidence, so I don't think I'm going to continue this conversation much longer.

I told you I watched some scenes. And I didn't need to read PTC's reports, which are only biased in your view because you don't hold similar beliefs. I copied the dialogue they posted which also included some brief descriptions of the action. What I posted was essentially show transcripts.

And you are woefully misrepresenting the pedophilia-themed scenes and what happens in them.

First, you've said repeatedly that this is all just cartoon make-believe and not reality, but you also advance an argument that in Family Guy "the pedophile" gets "depicted as creepy." So these cartoons do have something to do with reality, and how they represent things does matter. Now you're saying the represent the pedophile appropriately. But yet again, the pedophile behavior is being played for laughs! And part of the laugh is the massive under-reaction to the pedophile. If a man were truly to pick up a little child and give her a "raspberry" that way, with her father right there, mild disapproval and a suggestion that he leave isn't likely to be the response, if the parent is in any way a responsible parent.

You proved no scenes. Please link them. Youtube is littered with 90 second family guy clips.
