Ok I don't even know the conversations that are going on among fans anymore but Red vs Blue has:
Someone not knowing a guy was Black being used as a joke (tbh im not sure what the punchline was supposed to be but I don't think it's that Church was an idiot)
A white man playing a Black man, a white man playing a dark-skinned man, and two white people playing Hawai'i maoli
Bisexuality, homosexuality, transness (and being intersex maybe) being a punchline repeatedly and throughout the whole series
Fatness as a joke and the only fat character's defining personality traits being laziness and liking food
Said character not getting a subversive arc for 15 seasons
Butchering of Spanish as a joke (adding -o to the ends of words, "el roboto")
Characters refusing to communicate with someone in their native language (in some cases THAT THEY UNDERSTAND) as a joke
Repeated use of "r*tard" or variants of it ("team-killing fucktard")
And all of these except the casting and the r slur are used as jokes. Fiction does affect reality and these jokes are gonna be internalized both by the audience that's not the butt of the joke and the victims. This show goes on for 18 seasons, no amount of fix-its are gonna undo all those messages. Just stop promoting the fucking show.
