yeah I did my own research on it (I clicked two YouTube videos) in the 3 hours since I posted that and now I kinda hate it for mysogeny and transphobia lol but I can kinda see the "haha, he's a nerd" hate too lol but tbh besides the transphobia and mysogeny I think it's a fine show tbh would put it on as something less painful to watch than the news when hanging out with my parents
Where's the misogyny and transphobia?
I'm not sure I'd call the whole show transphobic, however I only remember two or three times they mentioned transgender people on the show and it was always in a bad context.
One time Sheldon and Leonard were discussing how Penny was an improvement in almost every way over the previous tenant next door who was a tall muscular black transsexual (that's the word they used). Another time Howard told a story where he hooked up with someone only to find out that they were a pre-op transsexual, which got him an "Oooohh" of pity from the audience/laugh track.
It’s funny because she has a penis.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
