I'm pretty sure that's a male cat. Rock on.

tee hee.
the way I usually explain it to (the usually male) people who think I have no sense of humor is:
"Dead baby jokes - funny. Family Guy - funny. Rape jokes - not funny. Got it?"

But I've seen rape jokes on the family guy.

That cat just needs some head scratches.

Oh no! Cognitive dissonance! *head explodes*

I have to admit, even as a long term fan of FG, it does still make me wince occasionally. Which is difficult to do while in the middle of laughing hysterically.

What that should is

Feminist Cat is not amused by your Patriarchy.

Family Guy was never funny.

I despise Family Guy. It's one of the things I say often in social settings that elicits the "you're just a humorless feminist" response. UGH. Seriously? It's like MANY other forms of media: I laugh and laugh and then... utoh ... they say something stupid/offensive/patriarchal and I cringe.

Well, that's kind of their shtick, really - being or attempting to be grossly offensive to some people for the comedic value of seeing people who take themselves too seriously blow up. Most of the time they're harmless, but they do occasionally cross lines.

Yay feminist cat! And corporate cat made me actually LOL

Yeah, I hate that. And the thing is, I'm sure they're actually making fun of misogyny and sexism most of the time, and the fact it's more obvious in American Dad is why I much prefer it. I feel that they overestimate their audience a lot

I tried explaining to a friend how sexist it can be even when they're trying to be ironic, using the rat farm as an example of "how is that funny??" And his response was "yeah, they're rats" I was dumbfounded that he could miss the point that much. :(

American Dad is definitely a lot more direct in its parody - which may be why I don't like it as much as FG. Still a funny show, though. Stan has some hilarious moments.

Well, I do admire that cat's liquid line.

Wow, that lolcat brings back strange memories. As a very small child, I confused "female" with "feline", and the existence of male cats perplexed me.
