Strawman Has a Point: Difference between revisions

Line 404:
** A small one in a later episode, ''Cajun Spice'', had Remy kidnap Rogue, play up their similarities and show her a good time, they try to get her to help him save his adopted father. She gets mad upon finding out the truth, but comes to his rescue later, and defends him when Logan gets ready to cut him to ribbons. Except, this is forgetting that Gambit had ''drugged, kidnapped, threatened, and manipulated Rogue'', but the fact he's doing it for a noble cause and appologizes once she finds out seems like they were trying to gloss over the fact that, well, he was being ''very'' sleezy about it.
* In the [[Digital Piracy Is Evil]] episode of ''[[The Proud Family]]'', enough people pirate the music that the local music store loses its customers because they don't bother to buy music from him when they can get it for free. Despite how much of the episode is obviously exaggerated; that scenario is actually plausible. Especially since they don't start losing money (and customers) when just ''Penny'' downloads music.
** Of course, the thing that ultimately killed the storefront music outlet was... for-pay online music stores, such as iTunes. Not piracy.
* Often occurred on ''[[Daria]]'', though this could often be chalked up to [[Values Dissonance]], Daria often took positions that the show's initial target audience of anti-social teens would agree with but most wouldn't, but those opposed to her would be portrayed as [[Informed Wrongness|obviously wrong]] by emphasizing how shallow, stupid or petty they were, even when they weren't that unreasonable.
** The episode where Daria ends up on the yearbook committee is a prime example. Daria convinces the teacher overseeing it to cut the clubs and sports sections from the yearbook, primarily out of spite toward those involved. The show tries to keep sympathy on Daria's side by making everyone trying to stop this be extremely underhanded and shallow, despite the fact that they just want a standard yearbook feature and Daria is mostly just being petty. In the end the sections are restored to the yearbook after one teacher getting shafted by it assaults the overseeing teacher and gives him a vicious beating, neither teacher is portrayed as sympathetic, but [[Unfortunate Implications|somewhat disturbingly]] [[Abuse Is Okay When It Is Female On Male|the scene is simply played for laughs.]]
