Many shows from as late as the late 2000s have jokes about trans people that seem really out of place today. 30 Rock has, in its first two seasons, a lot of jokes about trans women-- mostly from Tracy, but once from Liz. It's very out of place in an otherwise pretty top notch show.bagshotrow posted:The episode of the Simpsons where Homer thinks Bart is gay aged pretty badly; Homer's bigotry didn't seem that extreme at the time, but in 2017 he just comes off as a complete bastard. The irony is that "Homer's Phobia," the episode you're talking about, was remarkably progressive for the time-- John Waters guest starred, and they made pretty positive portrayals of gay folks in the episode itself. This was around the time that Will and Grace was just coming on the air, and not far after Ellen's coming out on her show. This was one of the leading edge in changing folks' mind on LGB folks. (The, uh, T is still in the process of coming.)
