Why does every "family" show have a sissy, wiener son?
>>78452598
Gotta emasculate them young.
Same reason all the modern teams, all the guys are idiots.
>>78452598
If you don't know who the sissy son is, it's you.
>>78452598
It's a generic way to introduce conflict.

>>78452598
Is Bart or Chris a sissy?
>>78452598
I'm pretty sure the kid in OP's pic is actually a young Bill Burr so your point might need a little reinforcement
>>78452598
Because literally everyone on 4chan was a little pussy boy growing up, I guarantee you. If they weren't they would likely have friends, a girlfriend, wouldn't watch cartoons well into their 20s, and have better things to do than post on 4chan. That's not to mention that it's important to write what you know and the people who put the time in to learning animation were probably little pussy boys too.
>>78452598
>Why does every "family" show have a sissy
The Simpsons
Family Guy
Bob's Burgers
>>78453064
No, they're retarded. The other point the media wants to drive home.
>>78456289
I love bobs burgers but gene is a bit of a sissy.
>>78453121
Why are you here?
>>78452598
Because most familys have/had one at some point in time.
That wimpy son may have grown up into a not wimp, but he was still a wimp at one point
Because it's an easily replicatable family dynamic.
Father wants son to be a man. Son fails. Father is disappointed. Cue episode moral that being a man is different than the father's preconceived notions.
>>78452598
So when does he start crossdressing and fantasising about black guys?
His mama raised him soft! THATS WHY
>>78456613
Around 17-18
>>78456474
Same reason you are here pussy boy.
Because it's Bill Burr making fun of himself.
This show is the ultimate in anti-fun. Atleast Bojack has Todd and Mr. Peanutbutter to get into wacky hijinks, but every character F For Family is the most miserable shit in the world. They do mean things, they say cruel things, and they do very little to make up for it. It's a very Family Guy show and I feel people on /co/ defending it are Burr apologists, even tho he doesn't even care for the show.
>>78452598
Because nobody wants to watch a show about normal people.
Because Bill Burr is remembering his childhood and admitting he was a little girly sometimes.
>>78457703
If you've heard Burr talk about his dad and know how he feels about him, all the fighting and yelling and "I fucking hate you"s in the show become a bit too revealing. I didn't watch the credits once because I wanted to get this shit over with, but is Burr a writer or director or whatever or does he just VA?
>>78457703
Isn't his wife black? You know what that confirms, right? I wonder where she keeps the key.
>>78456437
>I AM NOT A SISSY. I JUST LIKE TO EXPRESS MY FEELINGS, through farts.
I didn't really know what to make of this series...then episode six happened. That moment when he broke down in his car and starts terribly singing/weeping Holy Night was probably one of the top five moments in television that have resonated with me.

Link Related.
>>78457789
Yeah, its written by him.
The show shows that he at least appreciates his dad and understood why he was an asshole.
>>78452598
So male watchers can relate and female watchers feel empowered.
I liked it. I hate this recent trend of people dismissing shows where the characters have flaws that aren't cartoonishly blatant.
>>78453064
modern Bart is
>>78452598
Is that Chie?
>>78453121
epic as fuck
>>78452598
This show any good?
>>78459389
>dad is always angry and yelling at someone/something
>sissy, wiener son is always mumbling and getting beat up
yeah
okay
>>78452598
Why does every family show have an idiot, cocksucker father?
>>78452598
So OP could relate to the series more.
>>78459562
Because creatives are fundamentally broken people, and resent a strong father figure because they were most likely raised by a single mother who abused them and blamed it all on men.
>>78452598
Because that's how the people who wrote the show felt as kids, that they were disappointments to their fathers.
Because sissy wieners grow up to be writers of course.In the case of F is For Family it's because Bill Burr's dad used to constantly emasculate him and call him a bitch, and even gave him a doll for Christmas. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S8Ho1WWDECM
>>78457447
The oldest son wasn't a miserable human, he protected and looked out for his younger brother, and really did want to be a good successful son. Unfortunately the kid had brain damage and as a result couldn't be the perfect all-star son his father wanted.
>>78459477
That's how my family actually was
It's not uncommon
>>78453064
stewie's a sissy
>>78459632
So the show is a fuck-you to his miserable idiot father?
I might actually enjoy it now.
>>78457447
It does have comic relief characters like the retarded homeless kids, but it's just a lot less wacky than Bojack.
The diaper kid explaining the Colt Luger episode to Frank was hilarious.
>>78456289
the tootsie episode of family guy
>>78459680
No.
His father is portrayed as a bastard, but definitely a sympathetic character.
Bill Burr is saying that he thinks his father made mistakes, but he understands that he wasn't a bad guy.
>>78459562
because the writers never think of their fathers very well
>>78457447
>They do mean things, they say cruel things, and they do very little to make up for it
Yeah...apologizing isn't part if comedy. SJWs seriously need to stay away from art forms that don't fucking involve nor want their approval
>>78459680
It's mostly a nostalgic love letter to the 70's.
The father is a short-tempered angry prick but is still portrayed sympathetically.
>>78459599
Well in the case of F is for Family, are you saying that a good father figure is an idiot cocksucker who is a financially and psychologically toxic to everyone in the household?
I envy your life.
>>78456613
ha
wait wat?
>>78459771
Yes.
Sour grapes totally isn't a thing, and it can't have possibly worked its way into the modern zeitgeist in a population with a 50% bastardry rate.
>>78459477
its like you didn't even watch the show past the first episode.
>>78459441
Chie is more manly than this kid will ever be
>>78452598
Because the shows are made by those sissy wiener sons?
Because the son is always the writer as a child and writers are always sissy wieners.
>>78463746
Fuck your garbage waifu.
>>78452598
The son's entire character arc in the last episodes of season 1 is about him not wanting to be seen as a pussy,torches a forest, fights his bully, confronts his family
Either a purposeful troll or a dumb idiot who hasn't even watched the show
Hopefully it's the former
>>78452598
ain't that the evil kid from undertale?
>>78464414
Sounds like a pussy to me. You think tough guys burn down forests in order to not seem like a pussy? No, they do it to destroy the evidence.
>>78452598
Because every adult generation has this complex where they had it harder than their kids, so if they're writing a story where a dad interacts with the son the dad is a hardass and the kid is a wimp
>>78465452
It's not complex, older generations actually had it harder and made it better for the next one.
You think your quality of life is the same as the one your grandfather had? Be grateful you can live in this age and that your children hopefully will have it better.
>>78465489
>Baby boomers
>Made it better
>My parents
>Had it harder
>>78465535
Sorry I forgot how technology and medicine stopped advancing when the baby boomers where born.
>>78465489
Yeah, my dad got random jobs by walking onto sites and getting hired. My grandfather gave him a house for $29,000 and he sold it for $100,000 like 12 years later. Used that money to buy his current house which was $130,000 and retired at 52 with two kids still in the house. He worked for our family business most of that time though, which paid well, and had tons of benefits.
I work for $15.60/hr, and rent an apartment because even though I have good credit, I have no down payment for a house and I'm not stepping into a huge mortgage without one. I can't say my life is bad, but my dad did not have it that hard, and he just expects me to save money like he did when he was younger.
>>78465587
Oh my god I forgot about all theses amazing technological advances I can't afford because all the money from my 50 hours a week goes into this apartment and shit car.
And all these revolutionary treatments for diseases that I get to suffer with because my healthcare told me to tough it out
>>78465587
funding for technology and medicine is far worse now that in was in their childhood, and most of the new stuff is kept off the market because it works too good and would ultimately case the pharmaceutical companies to bring in less profit
>>78465489
You know there was a time when a person without so much as a high school degree could just walk up to a factory or something and get trained and given a job that could pay all their bills, send their kids to college, and buy a house.
This idea that the modern world is "super easy" is laughable. Odds are your parents had it just as easy as you did, if not easier.
>>78464707
Only idiotic subhuman trash burns down the forests.
If you're gonna burn something, burn a house down. There's no shortage of those and they will never be as enjoyable to be in as a forest.
>>78465622
Wake up kid, you are not the center of the world. Your particular case doesn't stop the fact that people in general live longer, eat better, get less sick and that these are one of the most peaceful times earth has seen.
>>78465668
Really? You have some hard statistics about the food quality enjoyed by people under 50 compared to 50 years ago?
>>78459632
Jesus.
I hate gag gifts so fucking much. What kind of asshole gives a gift that's a big "FUCK YOU"? That's the opposite of how gifts work.
>>78465668
>people in general live longer, eat better, get less sick and that these are one of the most peaceful times earth has seen.
how's that obesity epidemic, ensuing health problems, price hiked fruit n veg, dirt cheap junk food, revival of old diseases due to anti-vaxxers, disappearing middle class, trillions spent on war, and yearly record breaking heat waves treating you?
>>78465668
we're not talking about people in general we're talking about suburban americans
>>78465668
>Wake up kid
>Says the man still comfortably sleeping
>>78452598
Isnt that Chara?
>>78453121
Well that is why I am here, perfect explanation of me.
>>78465668
The current generation is the first in a long time that is predicted to have a shorter lifespan than the generations preceding it.
Honestly I'd cut the dad a little slack, Korea was a terrible thing to have to go through and he didn't have a choice in going. At the same time it really saddens me that people live with this much anger.
For season 2, do you think fatso died in his car on Christmas and Frank will get his job?
>>78453121
Not Darth Edgelord Ralph Bakshi
>>78463746
Yeah, but Rise is way cuter.
>>78466792
Damn, what an interesting life.
Too bad his movies are shit.
