Talk:Family Guy controversies

message: What about adding sections on criticisms of FG for being overrated, cheesy, post ironic hipster-wannabe humor, that is primarily targeted at those who want to feel like they are in on something cool and hip so they feel less douche-baggy. I'm not kidding about this. Buster (talk) 04:15, 8 April 2010 (UTC)

replies: text:  Depiction of racism, bigotry and stereotypes are a very common theme on the Family Guy series, from Jews to Irish people, African-Americans to Asian-Americans, Hispanics and Native Americans. I recall two episodes one took place in Texas and the other in the Deep South portray the locals as backward, reactionary and uncouthed. Family Guy seems to be another equal opportunity offender in the same page like South Park and Drawn Together, the animated parody of reality TV shows. Of course, the series is "tongue in cheek" humor, but when it came to MTV's recent Jersey Shore controversy on accusations the acting cast exhibited negative ethnic stereotypes of Italian Americans, it is possible the Family Guy and the other two series may have become self-censored to avoid ligitation, defamation (group libel) and the likelihood of FCC content violations or fines. I don't expect Family Guy to become PC anytime soon, and will keep on pushing the envelope.+ 71.102.12.55 (talk) 01:58, 30 November 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm not agreeing or disagreeing with your opinions, but these are your opinions and the talk page is not a forum for discussing Family Guy in general. Criticism articles strive to represent varying viewpoints which should always be supported by acceptable sources, cited briefly, and given weight proportionate to their third-party coverage. Also remember that an article that criticizes Family Guy directly (instead of covering someone else's criticism) should be avoided for this article but might be acceptable for the parent article. Citations which would benefit this article should be third-party coverage of criticism of the show.

thread_title:  New Criticism sections? 

message: Anyone checking into the blanking tag from 11/30/2010 please refer to the PTC section above, thanks. 96.228.129.69 (talk) 19:56, 30 November 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  re: Blanking 

message: What about this? This refers to when an Internet meme gets used in mainstream media, the popularity will explode, and this meme will ultimately die out due to the overuse of mainstream media. 24.104.127.1 (talk) 01:40, 28 September 2011 (UTC)

thread_title:  The Family Guy Effect 

message: Seriously? I've been watching it on TopTV. The statement would have been true in 1999, but it's no longer banned.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 196.210.255.236 (talk) 21:49, 16 October 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Banned in South Africa? 

message: "The group Answers in Genesis accused the show of being anti-Christian for mocking creationism in the episode "Petarded"." Doesn't that just go without saying? I'm sure pro-life groups accuse pro-choice groups of being anti-pro life and vice versa. Most groups don't like being mocked, and considering the reference that backs this up comes directly from Answers in Genesis, as opposed to a third party commenting on the criticism, does this information really contribute to the article? I propose removing it. Freikorp (talk) 01:20, 1 November 2011 (UTC)

thread_title:  Anti-religous criticism 

message: R U sure? I thought it was the North one, where Family Guy is banned.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.190.194.119 (talk) 21:01, 14 November 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Banned in SOUTH Korea? 

message: It seems to me that the bulk of the PTC's criticism is aimed at the network for their scheduling, not the show. Many of the issues would not be relevant if it was placed "appropriately". I believe that it is relevant to the article but should be subcategorised (where applicable) into something like "network criticism".  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.1.10.225 (talk) 20:43, 5 August 2015 (UTC)

This collapsed table was removed in an edit marked minor. While I contributed to this list, I am not confident it is encyclopedic ("awards" in the title heading sure isn't), so I thought there might be some discussion on whether to keep it (with some changes) or simply leave it out. / edg ☺ ☭ 13:24, 6 September 2017 (UTC)
