FAY GUY REVERSED S STANCE ON 'GAY JOK'. WHY?
For better or worse, this junk food of the televisual world has bee a larger part of my life than I ever is why I paid attentn when, last year, the January 2019 episo “Tmp Guy” (an tertg episo and of self, sce took on the Tmp admistratn and featured Meg Griff as a victim of sexual asslt on the print’s part), the show announced s tentn to stop rortg to “gay jok”.
It started wh a fictnal Donald Tmp tellg Peter: “Many children have learned their favoure Jewish, black, and gay jok by watchg your show over the years”, to which Peter replied: “In fairns, we’ve been tryg to phase out the gay stuff. ”This moment was great many ways: the show acknowledged s rponsibily shapg young viewers’ mds, Peter attempted to flect the cricism wh a ltle touch of meta humour – a Fay Guy hallmark – and we were all left lookg forward to a gay-joke-ee future.
So ’s not exactly surprisg that, a recent season 18 episo, Fay Guy appeared to do a plete 180 by reversg s stance on so-lled “gay jok” “Disney’s The Reboot”, the episo se Peter and his fay tryg to fd a new inty for their show. The sequence isn’t so homophobic that mak you want to throw your remote to your TV screen (though by all means, feel ee), but ’s still kd of “meh”.
