'Malcolm in the Middle: Life's Still Unfair' "Controversy"
I am shocked that it took this long to see a "negative feedback" about the show, mainly a subtle line or representation of a group but it is what it is I guess.
Context: Someone said that the show got "Wokeness" in it, which ruined their viewing of it.
And for that I have to say it's always been.
Yes there were some jokes about it in some episodes but they did "tackle" the topic in their own way.
For example, the episode Pearl Harbor (Season 6, Episode 4) Jessica, portrayed by Hayden Panettiere, tricked Malcolm and Reese to thinking the other was gay. Which in the episode they had a subtle but vague conversation about it and even accepting the others 'life style'. CLIP
There's also the episode Army Buddy (Season 7, Episode 8), Reese's old Army buddy came to visit him and Malcolm convinced Reese that she may have romantic feelings towards him (Reese) but it was revealed to the audience that she instead had feeling towards Lois. And at the end when she was leaving she came out to Reese as a lesbian. CLIP
