Problematic? Moesha and other black 90s sitcoms.

I have said this in a previous thread, but I’ll mention it again here.

If they really want to be consistent in their rhetoric, then they should have the same energy for The Parkers in the way that Nikki chased after Stanley all those years. A lot of what she did to him wouldn’t be socially acceptable and view differently today if the tables were turned especially in the #metoo era.

They won’t admit it though for obvious reasons.

If they have a problem with this then they better have a problem with the Parkers since the main story on the show was Nikki Parker stalking a man that rejected her advances towards him a 100 plus times and she kept pursing him.

To be fair, the argument I’ve seen is that the way they portrayed Kim And Nikki Parker in Moesha and The Parker’s, as both being man-hungry hyper thirsty women, was fatphobic in and of its self. They said that, Fat black women being portrayed as overly man-thirsty to the point of criminality and Boarderline sexual assault is a negative trope against fat black women, just as much as it is an offensive trope, because it makes light of sexual assault and unwanted sexual advances at the hands of hefty sistas. Basically they’re saying, the fatphobic character portrayal of mother and daughter on the respective sitcoms, was just as negative towards fat Black women as it is towards making light of sexual assault towards men. I can’t lie, I kinda see their point. The hefty thirsty chick is a common trope in sitcoms. Even til this day. But I’m still gonna laugh at the many ways Mr.Professa curves Nikki tho.
