    I've seen that episode. Brian dates a trans woman, finds out she is trans, then vomits for like 3 minutes straight. Then the family makes fun of him for it. It was awful

        Apparently one of the writers/producers on that episode had a father that transitioned, which makes it extra strange/sad.

        Anyway, I think there's a later episode which isn't as bad (low bar), which is what the dad in this scenario could be talking about. I don't remember it that well, but at the time I remember sighing at the start of the episode and then by the end perhaps being a little charitable in interpreting the moral of the episode as 'gender dysphoria is serious and a good solution is supportive transition.'

        EDIT: haven't seen the episode in a long long time so who knows

        If I remember correctly too, Brian gets beaten up by Quagmire for this, and then tries to gotcha Quagmire by misgendering the woman as well, which the episode treats as an own

        It's a disgusting episode through and through

          And Seth MacFarlane bragged about how positive it was.

          Brian gets beaten up for just being an asshole, Quagmire beats him up not knowing that he slept with her. It's used as the punchline of the fight.

    Uncritical support to Cromalin for bringing me all the best /tttt/ memes to my feed, that I otherwise would not have because I cannot stand to browse the board anymore.

    I always found it weird that South Park amended their stance of trans people before Family Guy (assuming they ever do). Don't get me wrong the show is still awful fucking garbage but I guess whatever mild credit it's due.

    This sounds more like some bizarre treat-brained cope from a transphobe who wished he still had a son(?).

    Family guy fans always respond to criticisms of the show with, "Family guy makes fun of everyone you f-slur"

    My mind is about 90% a mix of Simpsons and Sopranos references so I can't really talk shit. I don't use them as a guide for decision making or anything though.
