As a Japanese person, I doubt "Japanese hate Bart due to its delinquency toward authorities" thing. I have never heard or seen that in the Japanese internet, and there are tons of Japanese anime characters who shows disobedience toward authorities, including the most popular characters like Nobita from Doraemon, Katsuo from Sazae-san and Crayon Shin-Chan (he's got criticised in the similar way to the complaint toward Bart according to YMMV, though). Most importantly, most of modern Japanese people just don't care for the traditional values! I am not accusing people who wrote that part, but curious where is the source of the story. I suspect the line was made up, based on stereotypes...

recent episodes have been giving Bart laser guided karma when he bad mouth's homer lisa beat him up in dadicus finch and then there was the recent tirade in go big or homer. is this enough to be put in designated villian. as stated in unintentionally unsympathetic homer is the abusive one which the show has done nothing to change so it seems wrong to punish bart for not liking his father.

Lisa repeatedly succeeding at Bart’s expense. What started out as Bart showing his Big Brother Instinct by taking to fall for Lisa so she didn’t ruin her future has seemingly become Bart being unable to succeed as long as Lisa is in his life. What makes things worse is Lisa’s increasing apathy to her brothers Heroic Sacrifice to the point where she no longer even acknowledges that they happen.

this was removed because a banavader put i up can it be put back in or is it forbidden

Clueless Aesop: You Go, Girl! episodes are essentially Excuse Plots. In every one a random guy will suddenly Take A Level In Jerkass and become a Straw Misogynist. In retaliation the woman attempt to show they are just as good as the men, when in actuality it is just an excuse to become Straw Feminist. However they become so focused on making the men pay that they forget to actually try to prove they are just as good so the initial guy ends up being a Jerkass Has a Point.

I get a lot of flag for making sexist tropes but they are just condensed arguments from this forum.

https://www.nohomers.net/showthread.php?113578-Is-the-Simpsons-sexist

the point of them is that is kind of sexist to women. Do the fact that they keep overusing Women Are Wiser or Females Are More Innocent. The show presents woman as better then men but never actually show it.

so are the repeated You Go, Girl! Episodes Clueless Aesop or Broken Aesop

Girls Just Want To Have Sums

Principal Skinner acknowledges Julianna's straight A's at the school, but attributes her "B or two" in Math to being a girl. The audience is outraged by Skinner's remark. Skinner's attempts to defend himself make the situation worse and he is beaten by the Itchy and Scratchy puppeteers. In response the entire school is segregated by sex. The boys are treated like animals while the girls are given utopia. Yet in the end its said that the boys are better at math since the way the girl's school was taught wouldn't really give them any knowledge as why Lisa sneaked in the boy's school because it was regular knowledge.

The girl code The super best friends have never been shown to be sexist and were even talking to lisa before quinn came in. yet the moment he did Martin says he signed up for coding class and not web design. This is used as justification for her blatantly being allowed to get away with insulting and degrading men while blatantly favoring Lisa just for being a woman and is never called out on it.

the old blue mayor she ain't what she used to be

Mayor Quimby shrugs off Marge's suggestions with sexist remarks after which she is encouraged by her family to run against him for Mayor of Springfield. She wins yet the moment she receives opposition she starts humiliating Homer to retain public support.

I added this because a lot of podcast call it out the Simpsons index had an episode where they were talking about pay pal they mentioned the game night being ruined wasn’t really homers fault. It was just a way to move the plot to lisa and marge not having friends. A lot of episodes are like that. Weking Mom and Krusty the Clown both had plots stop because suddenly marge was angry at homer.

thinking about it more this is more they wasted a good plot then Writer Cop Out

look at the reviews of Weking Mom

https://www.nohomers.net/showthread.php?114345-Rate-amp-Review-quot-Werking-Mom-quot-(XABF21)

they’re mostly good, but all of them say its ruined by them forcing a marriage crisis into it.

don't make it so detailed and this seems more like a Lost Aesop the a clueless one

This is something that I really like to address but don’t really know how. I find incredibly disturbing that in both the season 29 finale and the season 30 première Homer put Bart’s life in danger and didn’t receive an ounce of punishment. Is this Unfortunate Implications, Fridge Horror, Dude, Not Funny!. I just find it strange how Homer’s disregard for his son can be brushed off so easily. To make it worse "Bart's Not Dead" has to many similarities The Telltale Head" only Homer actually showed regret in that episode. So he cares more about a statue then his own son.

I'm not sure about the entry saying that Marge and Lisa are both examples of Creator's Pet. A Creator's Pet has to be The Scrappy, a Creator's Favorite, be on the receiving end of Character Shilling, and be the subject of Character Focus. I don't think that Lisa is The Scrappy; I think she's a Base-Breaking Character (the page itself even says in the Base-Breaking Character entry, "[Lisa's] either loved for being a smart, sensitive, progressively-thinking young girl or hated for being too preachy and seen as an Author Avatar Canon Sue."). And I haven't seen her be on the receiving end of Character Shilling, either. As for Creator's Favorite and Character Focus, I'd say she is both of those things, because she's Matt Groening's favourite character, and a lot of the plots have been recently focused on her. As for Marge, I'd say she's a Base-Breaking Character (as the entry for Base-Breaking Character also acknowledges) who isn't the Creator's Favorite, doesn't receive Character Shilling, and isn't the subject of Character Focus.

  • Mis-blamed: Mike Scully and Al Jean tend to get all the blame from fans who dislike episodes from their respective times as showrunner, while Scully also gets a lot of hate for episodes made after he became an producer. The showrunner position is mostly involved with management and quality control, it's not like Scully or Jean personally could made all the unpopular changes to the show even if they wanted. The Simpsons has been on for ages and has always had very high writer turnover, some of the Seasonal Rot and Dork Age complaints are inevitable in light of this.

A showrunner oversees and has final approval over the writing, and bears responsibilty for the finished product. And considering most of the complaints post-season 8 concern the writing, I don't see how mis-blamed applies here. (There are other points, like the animation quality for example, but Scully and Jean have rarely been personally attacked over that.)

I think they're the same person as Bubble Bath Jones, Corn Cob Man, etc. Should somebody look into this?

Not just here either. I just cleaned up a massive anti-Homer tirade in the movie's page.

Shamelessly plugging my comics, Oh yes.
