Why would you expect a character in a comedy show to be a good role model? All of the characters have pretty obvious flaws and the show is better for it.

- TaylorAlexander 4y agoIt's not just his behavior, but how the writing and presentation of the show frame those behaviors. You can have a sexist character, but how the show treats that behavior reveals what the people creating the show want the audience to take away. The show can present bad behavior as leading to negative consequences. But Gilfoyle's sexism is presented uncritically as comedy, with no negative consequences. It is the framing of this behavior that I take issue with.
