* Redmane: \\\"The Father, the Son and the Holy Guest Star\\\" presents a very negative view of Catholicism. It wouldn\\\'t bother me so much if it wasn\\\'t for the fact that almost all other religions have been represented positively in the Simpsons, but Catholicism here is presented as the crazy religion of dirty, poor immigrants which the upper class/rich white people shouldn\\\'t be invested with. I also don\\\'t understand the double standard; since when Lisa turned into a Buddhist, everybody accepted it, but Bart and Homer turning into Catholics was seen as something horrible.

* Redmane: \\\"Four Great Women and a Manicure\\\" Overall the episode at parts isn\\\'t bad, but it gets ruined the moment Lisa showcases her radfem misandristic side, belittling Marge for caring about her physical appearance ([[RealWomenNeverWearDresses oh the horror]]), and going on a rant about \\\"herp derp men are just scum and women don\\\'t need no man evah!!\\\" while massively changing the Snow White story for no reason (bc radfems hate Disney I guess) with Lisa\\\'s new ending \\\"she was saved by a doctor because a competent woman doesn\\\'t need a man!\\\". Ugh, usually I\\\'m tolerant of Lisa\\\'s liberal quirks and often agree with some of her points but the moment she goes all radfem/white guilt/anti-Christian on us is when she\\\'s at her worst.

* Redmane: I found the episode passable at times (i mostly liked the Star Trek credits), but what irked me was a joke in the start of the episode, when the family is arriving at Disneyland. They park in the \\\"Ethnic Princess\\\" spot, with an image of a princess of many different cultures mixed in together (a girl wearing a Native American headdress while wearing a kimono and holding a shamrock and a piƱata on her hand). Obviously it\\\'s a jab at the Disney princess line, but here\\\'s the problem...Where\\\'s the joke? Is having more than one non-white princess bad? Are all cultures interchangeable? Disney should only have white princesses? Because that\\\'s what the joke implies, and it\\\'s far from the truth. Native American, Chinese etc cultures are vastly different and Disney has done its best to differentiate between them in their films. This is a very awkward joke that no matter how you look at it it makes the Simpsons writers seem like the actual racists, not Disney.
