I used to watch it sporadically when it aired and started watching it from the begging now, just finishing 3th season. I knew it had racial/racist jokes but I'm shocked with the amount of transphic jokes it has. I tried to see if there were some discussion around it, but I only found a video from T1J focused on the racial content but he didn't mention the transphobia even once.

Have she ever talk about that? Like acknowledging if was transphobic or something? Or is her writing still like that?

Okay, long story short: I know how hard-left this sub is, and I'm pretty much to the left myself. I can't stand crooked liberals. I fiercely support Black Lives, and I think we need reform badly. But I happen to enjoy some movies/shows/games that have lib characters. And I'm getting beyond fed up seeing a certain show (30 Rock) that impacted me so much get attacked from the let in this manner. Basically, I don't agree with how some in the hard left keep holding it up as "transphobic" or "racist", which it isn't, and people accusing it of "getting comedies should punch up wrong" when in reality, the show is an allegory for liberal hypocrisy as a whole. Like, I don't find crap like this funny. I find it infuriating. Because it's not true. Some hard leftists accuse the film of missing the mark because Tracy Morgan was actually caught uttering homophobic slurs, or Alec Baldwin killing a set worker and using his wealth and privilege to avoid responsibility. That's not meant to symbolize anything in real life, it's just something that happened with those privileged liberals in a show about liberal New Yorkers. It doesn't clash with the movie's messaging at all. It's not "racist" or "transphobic" because reasons, okay. Like for example, when Liz reported her neighbor for suspected terrorism, or when she assumed that Tracy is illiterate, or when she doxx'd Cristin Miloti's character, Liz was portrayed to be in the wrong. I discussed this before in BreadTube and CompleteAnarchy. I'm asking you how you feel about this because I once encountered a thread in this sub mocking Liz Lemon, doing the whole "all liberals are bad" thing, and I was legit upset by it. If you think I'm some kind of idiot, weirdo or loser for getting so emotional about a network TV show aimed at liberals that's part of a big corporation that's your right. But people have been sharing "Judy's a pig, smash the state" memes in the Zootopia sub. And as someone who can't watch certain scenes in the show without crying my eyes out, they really bothered me and I didn't think they were fair at all.
