What makes a sitcom "conservative"? No blacks?They have black characters, but they do make jabs at Hillary (pre election), say nice things about Trump, like hunting, fishing, etc. All that junk.

Serious question to the people: when was the last time you intentionally watched a non-sports or news based network show? I've definitely caught bits of shows here and there but I can't imagine how bored I'd have to be to actually seek out that bland crap.

I tune into Last Man On Earth every Sunday night. Season finale was last weekend.

I watch B99, Last Man on Earth, and Bob's Burgers. They are DVR'd and watched later at my convenience. The wife also watches the Shonda shows that way (usually when I'm watching sports).

Let's have Wacky categorize (and tell us why) various sitcoms into Liberal vs ConservativeIt's neither. Really the only conservative sitcoms there were was Rosanne, Home Improvement, and last man standing.
Up first:
Seinfeld
Libs shows are more of the talk shows. Melissa b, the daily show, etc. Don't really care tho, I like them all, minus Rosanne, it's pretty trashy.

Jon Voight is on Fox News as much as he's on Ray Donovan.
The new Roseann isn't really a conservative show, IMO. Roseann's character is a Trump supporter and that's about the only thing conservative about the show.

It's ratings weren't good overall. Fine for a Friday night but not worth trying to carry it over a more popular night when they abandoned Friday sitcoms. Now that Roseanne has started strong, they think they have a spot where it can carry over that audience and succeed.
Ratings is the same reason B99 is getting cancelled so anybody complaining about that being a political motive is also stupid.

Of her bizarre history of blog posts includes a November 2013 "Letter to Congress," in which Barr asserts the 2013 Boston Marathon bombing attack was a work of fiction designed by anti-gun advocates. In the blog post (unearthed in a Salon piece later that month), Barr writes to Congress to "stop the dictatorship initiated in the Executive Branch," referring to acts of then-President Barack Obama.

Many conservatives are already criticizing what they will undoubtedly view as ABC's capitulation to political-correctness-run-amok, and it's easy to see how this could play directly into the right's narrative that the left is determined to silence everybody who says the wrong thing. [...]
But conservatives are already coming for people's livelihoods. Not even a week has passed since the NFL caved to pressure from conservative viewers—as well as the president himself—and banned players from kneeling during the national anthem as a protest against police violence.
And that's the problem. Conservatives won't watch football unless all the players comport themselves perfectly, rigidly adhering to the right's version of patriotic correctness. How dare you disrespect the flag, they say. Liberals don't think a television show should continue to exist if somebody central to its production does or says something super bad. How dare you traumatize our marginalized communities, they say.
This race to find more things to be offended about and more reasons to start lynch mobs doesn't seem particularly healthy for the fabric of American society, especially if right and left are determined to one-up each other on the outrage front. Many media companies will attempt to appease viewers on both sides of the ideological spectrum, and their output will be that much less interesting. I won't particularly miss Roseanne, but I do miss being able to appreciate a television show, book, or work of art, even if I thought the artist was a lunatic.
FWIW, i have no problem with Roseanne being canceled, but I don't really have a problem with what the NFL is doing either.

damn he makes some bold assumptions about why NFL ratings have been declining. Also calling out racists for being racist is a good thing for American society.
Equating anti-racist outrage to peaceful protest outrage is a pretty bad take, but it makes sense that people who can't see gray area would agree with it.

I don't think they're the same.
My interpretation of the article was that if we're going down this path of "rough ridin' canceled'ing" everything or everyone we deem offensive, we're going to be left with some pretty bland crap - even by network sitcom standards. I thought that was an interesting point.
He also pointed out that saying outrageous racist crap is pretty much in character for 911 truth'r/boston bombing false flag'r/hitler cosplay'r Roseanne Barr. The newest crazy offensive thing she said doesn't really say anything new about her character.
I'm not saying the guy deserves a pulitzer. I'm just saying that the article raised some interesting points.

yeah I guess he wasn't equating them because he really only saw negatives in Roseanne getting cancelled and did not mention any downside to football players not being allowed to protest. So he might think Roseanne's cancellation is worse.
And good grief I guarantee that there are dozens if not hundreds of sitcom ideas that would be at least as good as Roseanne and not associated with a racist. there are plenty of funny non-racists out there.
Post by: DQ12 on May 30, 2018, 11:32:23 PM
man, this article was mainly about how we should be careful about this practice of raising hell on social media about entertainers who outrage us. his invocation of the NFL thing was an example of how, notwithstanding their tendency to cry for free speech, conservatives are just as guilty as their "someone who makes me uncomfortable lib" adversaries. i agree with you that the examples he's painting with are too broad - he glosses over that some outrage may have more merit than other outrage.Equating anti-racist outrage to peaceful protest outrage is a pretty bad take, but it makes sense that people who can't see gray area would agree with it.:rolleyes:

for what it's worth, his article condemning the NFL's decision was last week:
Quote
Donald Trump, who won the presidency in part by promising voters he would stand against the oppression of political correctness, is now taking a victory lap after successfully pressuring the National Football League to protect the delicate feelings of its someone who makes me uncomfortable audience.https://reason.com/blog/2018/05/24/nfl-trump-national-anthem-free-speech (https://reason.com/blog/2018/05/24/nfl-trump-national-anthem-free-speech)
[...]
Sadly, the NFL's bowing to Trump's whims may indeed be a win of sorts for this administration. It will please the many conservatives who routinely complain that the campus left is hypersensitive but embrace the victim role when the shoe is on the other foot.

You stereotype every single lib with whatever the dumbest lib you can find is doing. It's the same thing with the idiots that think every trump voter is a racist nazi. Then you call libs hypocrites for doing it which is pretty laughable since you're the epitome of it.

I hadn't realized I had made those kinds of comparisons. But I get it, using a word that many consider to be the ultimate sexist, anti-woman put down is just mean and still okay (if it's directed at conservatives and a liberal woman says it).

yes hence the imo statement.
However if i am calling someone a cvnt it is because of an issue i take with the person and the way they choose to conduct themself.
If i call someone a n word it would be a reflection on there race and not a pattern of conduct.

as has clearly been established you should not be fired for using the term cvntI called Kap a mixed breed who’s throwing his other half under the bus. It was an ignorant post. I’ve never and will never be racist. Pretty sure about only 50% of my friends are white. I’ve been in fights before to back friends at K-State for hayseeds saying racist crap to my friends. I know I come off like a jackass on this board for trying to play down the middle, but I can assure you I’m a very good person IRL. It’s very easy to say stupid crap on this board and for it to turn into a show.

it’s basically a hierarchy above bitch that signifies you are dealing with a higher level of unpleasantness.
that is not my understanding of the term. in my mind, they have slightly different connotations, but no difference in intensity. usually, i would say, the choice of either term would provide more information about the issuer than the subject.

No one uses hypocrisy as an argument. It is a device to undermine your opponent’s credibility by suggesting they don’t actually believe what they are saying.

In my world an argument is something you use to support the truth or falsity of a claim. If we're conflating that with undermining your opponent's credibility then hypocrisy is typically a fantastic argument as long as it pointing out the hypocrisy of your opponent and not the hypocrisy of some nebulous mass of people that you lump your opponent into.

the fact that portraying your counterpart as a hypocrite does nothing to support or falsify the truth of their position is (part of) why it's a really stupid argument.
And that’s why I said it’s not an argument at all. It’s an attack on your opponent’s credibility which happens to be very effective in most cases.

Sure I think that definition is broad enough to include allegations of hypocrisy, but it’s also broad enough to include things like credentials which typically aren’t thought of as arguments.
If we’re debating the merits of the individual mandate and I have significant experience in health insurance financing/underwriting, I will mention that with the aim that people will find me more credible and hence my opinions more persuasive. I consider accusations of hypocrisy to be along the same lines. I consider neither to be an “argument” even though they’re both ultimately intended to persuade.

Although it really just becomes circular at some point. If appealing to credibility is considered an argument, and if you agree that people really seem to go nuts over hypocrisy allegations, then it seems logically inconsistent to call it a bad argument.

Winner: Last Man Standing (Fox)
