Yes, gently caress us for using our 'feelings' and 'emotions'. I wish everyone tackled every problem with stone cold logic and a complete disregard for how people might feel.

But the thing is you're using your biased feelings to say the mom is completely wrong for wanting to keep her beliefs in her own home.

So lets change it up then. Mom is a total bleeding heart liberal who supports gay rights. Danny turns on Chicago Fire and there's a just happens to be a scene where one fireman is being harassed and attacked for being a homosexual.

She demands Danny turn it off. Danny refuses and things escalate. He insults her, she gets belligerent, and then she rushes after him to take away his cellphone. The two of them rush into OP's room where he's typing away something for his blog and she starts getting violent. Dad comes in to hold her back and OP threatens to call the police if she doesn't calm down. Mom retreats to the living room while Danny stews away in the room.

Is this family still crazy?
Yes
Is she all of a sudden now allowed to have these rules in her house because you now agree with her belief?
Regardless of what she believes, she still has a right that it be respected in her own house.


Edit: Add in spoilers.

(for example; how different would the general reaction here be if one rule was literally "no niggers or spics in the house").

My opinion would be the same: She's a horrible bigot but it's her house, she should have a right to have her rules and beliefs respected.
