I've recently watched House and I found this more uncomfy than I did the first time.
House (the character) is often being plainly racist and sexist. The fact that he presents it as sarcasm is a vehicle for him, used to make his racism more difficult to challenge.
- Kaze404 6y agoFor sure. The way it's delivered doesn't excuse the content in the slightest, but it still plays off the tone the show is going for.
- matt-attack 6y agoBut can’t shows be about racist people? I mean there’s shows about murderers all day. Do people critique shows (think Dexter) as “uncomfy”? You can laugh at, and even find endearing, racists characters. It’s part of being a grown up I believe.
- learnstats2 6y agoIf there are more shows with racist people as the endearing title character than there are with black people as the endearing title character, is that not a problem?
