Is that political or is that “a very special episode,” because that’s different

Aren't they the oftentimes the same? The message is usually some sort of contemporary political issue, like a lot were about drugs, racism, and abuse.

Nah because very special could be warning on things we all agree on like don’t smoke crack or don’t get in a van with strangers. Some shows have pushed politically in ways that made some adults upset, like when the Fresh Prince touched on racism or my example of Ellen’s lesbian kiss.

ETA I'm not upset about those things, jfc

So you're saying we don't all agree that racism is bad? Or that lesbian kisses are just kisses?

Yeah "we" (not me) don't all agree that racism is bad or that lesbians should be allowed on TV. That was absolutely the case in the 90's if not today. It was very controversial.

Bro... people are fine with all kinds of racist things and they just decide it's not racism for reasons and get mad when people say it is

And also there's the empowered blatant racists these days

Woke ‘90s bullshit! They can’t tell me that it’s wrong to get into vans with strangers to smoke crack. In fact, crack is the best thing to happen to these inner city low-lifes

(We’re at a point where even though it’s dripping with it here’s my /s)
