So many episodes made me cringe, that old man down the road was a disgusting character. The fact that we have reached the point where child molesters are considered comical means we are in big trouble. There is no way they should be normalizing that unless they are pushing an obvious agenda. I seen some very questionable episodes of American Dad and Cleveland Show too. The increasing amount of pedo normalization is absolutely alarming.

" that old man down the road was a disgusting character."

Do you think the writers believe otherwise?

"The fact that we have reached the point where child molesters are considered comical means we are in big trouble."

You know we've been making jokes about everything from 9/11 to the holocaust since each happened? Do you know what gallows humor is?

"There is no way they should be normalizing that unless they are pushing an obvious agenda."

"normalizing" I don't think that word means what you think it means....

"The increasing amount of pedo normalization is absolutely alarming."

Sooooo I'm assuming you can pull out at least a couple examples of pedophiles being depicted as anything but a creep/weirdo?

As was stated in the post the "lovable characters " brian , stewie , Peter , Lois are all utilised to normalise sexual relationships/ activity between adults and minors I used to watch a lot of family guy and pedophilia and violence , rape ect is normalised and made humeroous on the other hand I think South Park uses sick humour in a much less sick way

"As was stated in the post the "lovable characters " brian , stewie , Peter , Lois are all utilised to tell whatever lazy jokes the writers have come up with aimed squarely st the lowest common denominator"

There I fixed it for you.

The "comedy" in family guy 99% of the time boils down to depicting a minority or someone who holds a fringe belief acting stereotypically then telling the audience to point and laugh.

Have you ever spent time in a writers room? I have, and I can tell you right now if that was our flimsy premise we'd have gone back to the gay/pedophile well just as much as family guy since those jokes are easy.
