In an early season of Shameless, Lip invites Terry Milkovitch to go with him to beat up a child sex offender. Terry happily agrees, and the only reason they don't go though with it is that the sex offender turns out to be a sexy female teacher who had sex with a 14 year old student.However in one of the later seasons of, Terry is revealed to be a sexual predator himself, who rapes his underage daughter Mandy. Do you think this was an inconsistency on the part of the writers, or was it a deliberate choice meant to highlight the fact that a lot of pedo bashers who beat up/kill child predators are actually hypocrites who are themselves sexual predators?
>>221407988are you serious? The whole joke of the student fucker being a woman was that no one cares because it's a different situation.
>>221407988This show was dogshit melodrama that ended 5 seasons too late
>>221407988There was a South Park episode about this.
>>221408050>ended 5 seasons too lateThat's every single showtime show.
>>221408090This is probably one of the more egregious examples where it really just spins its wheels and accomplishes nothing. Even by the finale most characters do not feel like they're in different places compared to season 2 or 3.
>>221407988>rapes his underage daughter MandyI can't blame him
Debra lafayve did nothing wrong and lips inability to use his intelligence to succeed is irksome. It reminds me too much of me.
>>221408029I know the gag of that specific episode is that no one cares because it's a female predator, but I'm still wondering if it was a deliberate choice on the writers part to make Terry a hypocrite who simultaneously hates child sex predators and wants to bash them meanwhile he himself is a child sex predator.
>>221408410every man is against child predation until they find the perfect wife.
>>221407988I firmly believe that the people who beat up sex offenders usually hypocrites who have commit sex offences themselves. They don't give a fuck about "protecting the kids", they're just sadistic people looking for a socially acceptable target to satiate their bloodlust, so they target fellow predators.
>>221407988>t. butthurt pedo
The george Lopez show has the exact same fucking plot! Where exactly are they supposed to live? The girl asking her to move was out of line and could easily have done time for that threat.
>>221408786The fact that the sex offender registry is public and searchable for anyone is a uniquely American humiliation ritual, meant to ensure that the offender lives a life of shame and fear without the chance of rehabilitation.
>>221408899Debra lafayve got into trouble because her new job had a teen and she wasnt allowed to talk to her. It is absurd the levels they will go to for the appearence of justice.
Leternau passed away recently, rip.
