Avoid projection.

So your only response to my argument is yet another strawman argument, replete with lazy stereotypes?

That’s debatable.

Irony isn’t your strong point, is it?

The Simpsons has been having its cake and eating it since its inception. It is neither particular consistent, nor has it any integrity. Whenever it does handle a controversial topic, it fudges it in a way that’s frankly cowardly. Its attempts at relevance are semi-comatose pop culture references knocked out in an…
