Wasn’t that episode of Seinfeld pretty revolutionary for it’s time and still lauded by the LGBTQ+ community as groundbreaking? You’re talking about it as if it mocked gays, but it was and still is seen as a groundbreaking episode of one of the biggest TV shows in history, and it helped normalize homosexuality. Did you just get Seinfeld Effected?
That’s…exactly my point. Go watch it today. It’s cringey because they don’t want to be perceived as gay. Lots of stuff that was very forward thinking at the time doesn’t hold up. And the fact that it was groundbreaking further cements that things have changed incredibly from when those attitudes were common.
