Welcome to /c/Tumblr

All the chaos of Tumblr, without actually going to Tumblr.

Rule 1: Be Civil, Not CursedThis isn’t your personal call-out post.

  • No harassment, dogpiling, or brigading
  • No bigotry (transphobia, racism, sexism, etc.)
  • Keep it fun and weird, not mean-spirited

Rule 2: No Forbidden PostsSome things belong in the drafts forever. That means:

  • No spam or scams
  • No porn or sexually explicit content
  • No illegal content (don’t make this a federal case)
  • NSFW screenshots must be properly tagged

If you see a post that breaks the rules, report it so the mods can handle it. Otherwise just reblog and relax.

There is an entire episode where Quagmire's parent comes out as a trans woman. The entire episode just mocks her with unnecessary shit like throwing away food she brings to a party and stuff. That took a long time to "stop" and even then it didn't really stop. Just slowed

Aha I see, ty for the fill in.

I think it's basically aimed at older millennials and xillenials and above.

Family guy started in the 90's, I'd like to remind people (although the Quaqmires trans-dad was a lot later.)

1990's, the same decade that had these things:

She's a man

I don't hold it against Jim Carrey though.

Friends A-MAN-DA lot of super casual misgendering on purpose and deadnaming to boot.

So you know anyone who grew up with TV being full of those values probably also ended up watching Family for at least a while. Probably longer. Probably OOP's dad. And hell if that's what he needs to learn to treat trans people with some respect, why should it matter where he got it from, aside from slight annoyance?
