Talk:Mr. Ratburn and the Special Someone/@comment-33784431-20190521022244

Instead of deleting my comments and making the representation of fan reactions look completely one-sided would all the supporters of the presentation of this episode please explain to me what lesson was taught here? What did we as the child, adolescent, and adult viewers learn from this episode if anything? In my opinion it was one of the least educational episodes in the 20+ year run of the show. The whole thing was fabricated to increase relevance, seek attention from the media (which they inevitably got), and if not push an agenda at least make it clear that they've had one recently. I don't believe that Mr. Ratburn was "gay coded" from the shows beginning like Mr. Simmons from Hey Arnold or Mr. Garrison from South Park where when you found out it wasn't the slightest bit shocking. Except what was learned here? There was no dialogue pertaining to what they showed, no opposing views presented, not even the utterance of the term "gay". What was the point of this if anything other than trying to seize an opportunity to brainwash? Please enlighten me if that's possible.
