I was just watching a show I watched as a kid because it was widely available on cable. Now that I’m older I view things differently and missed this as a kid. The show is iCarly. Season 4 episode 7 to be specific Nora (female) is a crazy stalker and she’s got the hots for Freddie. She sexually assaults him by kissing him although he explicitly tells her not to. This happened twice throughout the series by this is just one of the occurrences. Below I will link both. Furthermore, you’ll see that every other character in the scene just stand around and watch as if it’s funny as the laugh track plays.

Absolutely disgusting. Emasculation and abuse played for jokes.

The scene i’m eferring to:

The first time she did it:

All in all, this show which was made for children rated PG-13 played male sexual assault and a young man getting stalked all for jokes.

Needless to say, female sexual assault is never played for jokes in the this same exact kids show.

NOT TO MENTION, on season 4 episode 9 Michelle Obama makes an appearance and they security detail said she’s “higher” up than the POTUS.

ALSO, T-Bo, Spencer, and Gibby are all portrayed as idiots while Freddie is a stereotypical loser who gets bullied by a chick (Sam) the entire show. Meaning, all the prominent male roles in this series are portrayed in a negative way.

The female cast in the show also used the term man up a lot.

Fuck this show, goes to show they’re definitely priming/programming us from a young age.
