>Now, Lisa, listen to me. This is important. I want you to smile today.>But I don't feel like smiling.>Well, it doesn't matter how you feel inside, you know. It's what shows up on the surface that counts. That's what my mother taught me. Take all your bad feelings and push them down, all the way down past your knees until you're almost walking on them. And then you'll fit in and you'll be invited to parties. And boys will like you. And happiness will follow.
>>223190921She's right. Fake it till you make it
>>223190921You tell her Midge
Sned
>>223190921Pretty awful boomer advice, Marge.
>>223190921This kind of sappy, moralizing writing they had in the early episodes would have dated fast after 91 so it was good the writers moved away from it.
>>223191161This has been debunked
and, oh wait turns out the writers were always male feminists who can never show the female characters as being flawed in any way
>>223191516>>>/pol/>>>/meds/

>>223191365no wonder she threw it all away to become the blow-up doll for a fat disgusting manchild
>>223191237smol marge
>>223191365To Marge's credit she sees how it goes for Lisa when she tries it, admits her mistake and encourages her to feel sad if she needs to.
>>223190921Sometimes it's important to be honest about your feelings and sometimes it's important to put on a strong face for others. Sometimes it's important to have a cry and sometimes it's important to pull yourself together and get on with shit. That's fucking life.Only retards pretend you have to do all one or all the other.

>>223192238god those people are inbred
>>223190921but her dad was a stewardess, how can i trust her?
lisa is shit
>>223191516not at all. the writers were pretty open about not really caring about the female characters and always wanting to just write Bart and Homer stories. most of the time the female characters are just treated as boring nags who get in the way of the guys having cool adventures.
>>223192512Lisa was used to push their politics in every episode she had a role. Even her bedroom had politics drawn on it. She's the "Everything's political!" character.
>>223192434doesn't look that way at all, sounds like shitskin projection
>>223192882This you?
>>223191516Take this one. How did it end? Not with her apologizing. Not with her having to beg for forgiveness. Not with her even being sorry. Homer even knew she was up to something and didn't admonish her or get mad. He just became dejected and passive. The is the guy who strangles his son crumbling like paper because his wife is getting the silent treatment.
>>223192953That's just some regular guy. He's right, you are projecting.
>>223192958The thesis of the episode is that Homer is a bad husband (he got her a bowling ball for her birthday, expecting to be able to use it himself) and Marge would not be wrong to cheat on him (which Homer recognizes, hence the "goodbye, my wife" scene) but she decides to be loyal out of grace.I suppose one could argue the Mindy episode is a counterpart for Homer; the entire episode is about how Mindy is the perfect woman for Homer and how he would be happier with her, but he decides to be loyal to Marge.

>>223191453Yeah it's so great that the show quickly became self aware, cynical and nihilistic to the point of being literally unwatchable by season 10 already, that doesn't date it at all
>>223193040You need to see a doctor pronto if you think that fella is "regular"
>You see, the kids, they listen to the rap music, which gives them the brain damage, with their hippin' and the hoppin' and the bippin' and the boppin'.
>Dear Lord, thank you for Ziggy comics, little baby ducks, and 'Sweatin' to the Oldies' volumes 1, 2 and 4
>>223191516Nah they were just basing them on an outdated idealized view of women that doesn't exist anymore.
>>223192958all women cheatyou can deny it and be miserableor embrace it by cuckmaxxing and you'll be happier for it

>>223191161I didn’t make it so I stopped faking it. I just couldn’t fake it no more.
