Why didn't the fucker make his flight on 9/11/01? He should've been on one of those planes.
Too far. The first 3 Family Guy seasons are good. And I liked Ted.
Eh. He's a smug lefty who sniffs his own farts.
And he used to be a Bernie Bro that didn’t even like moderate Democrats that much, while having a Rush Limbaugh appearance over a decade ago.
I should note that Seth's most likely compromised since the Disney buy out, especially since Disney has every reason to kill the Orville (a passion project of Seths that did badly in the ratings and only survived as long as it did because Fox wanted Seth to keep making Family Guy and that even then, they dumped the show onto Hulu, which ironically makes it double dead man walking given how Disney wants ALL of their shit on Disney+ save for the slither of FX/FXX shows they don't want near their precocious kid friendly Disney+. Hence him holding out on crapping on Trump until last year once the Disney buyout finally happened and Seth had to bend the knee and submit to the anti-life equation.
The Orville was good, better trek than post Kelvin/Kurtsman Trek was anyway
Seth has not given a shit about Family Guy since he got American Dad.

Honestly, I believe that the whole "Brian died...lol j/k" bit they did a while back was Seth deliberately trying to kill Family Guy. I feel like he wants it to end.
How much work is Seth putting into FG these days? Outside of the voice work, I doubt he does much of anything.

Did the South Park guys did something close to Seth calling out Weinstein and Kevin Spacey years before they were discovered to be sex pests? Even the Scientologists were always a joke.
They did try to depict Muhammed and that's when the slow descent into mediocrity started.

I believe it was Family Guy that did a couple Weinstein and Spacey jokes before everything came out, so people were just confused by them.

Course-correction takes time. Courtney Love spilled the beans 15 years ago, and everybody just laughed. No big deal, she's crazy!
They salvaged Polanski, barely.
Now, suddenly, we're holding these fat-cats accountable.
Hell, I think the only reason why Polasnki was able to be salvaged at all was due to the fact his victim somehow forgave him and she generally just wants to move on with her life and not think about that traumatic night.
If Samantha Geimer wasn't so dead set on trying to get that memory out of her head and Polanski hadn't spent the better part of the past fifty years hiding in Europe, things would be a lot different.
Weinstein was able to get away for so long because he was one of the most powerful men in Hollywood and was arguably the most powerful man in Hollywood in the 90's and 2000's. But he pissed off so many people and ruined so many careers that he eventually found himself surrounded and after the 2016 election didn't go the way Hollywood wanted, they decided to throw him under the bus and get rid of him.
I think by the end, he was an albatross around his brother's neck. Sure, he attended a great many "power lunches"; but all the stories about Weinstein paint him as a big, silly baby who is allergic to work of any kind. He conducted his "business" from hotel rooms.
I think everyone knew how the industry actually worked. Casting couch jokes were quite common and are a genre of porn to this day. The difference was if you were a beautiful famous millionaire who publicly complained about having to suck dick to get famous in 1999 everyone laughed at you. Now like 90% of people under 30 want to be famous, so the idea that they have to suck an old executive's dick to get what they want is horrifying.
Like it or not, this is supposed to be a meritocracy.
Just to add to what you said: It's a bit galling how Jennifer Lawrence can get ahead. She never disavowed Harvey. That arrogant fuckwad owes everything to him. That rankles even more than Harvey ruining lives out of spite.

I disagree, this is exactly the opposite case. What happens when there's no meritocracy is that the only people who will get ahead either already have connections or will literally suck dick to get ahead (which is why rich people are especially against the practice nowadays).
Regarding Weinstein "victims", I especially hate Angelina Jolie. She wasn't in film business for years, had talks in the UN, and took her children into active warzones. But spilling the beans about Harvey is far more frightening.
She was probably doing worse with her brother tbf.
Given how Angelina Jolie is fucking crazy, to the point even Brad Pitt eventually divorced her over it, it's possible Harvey had some kind of dirt on Jolie that went beyond mere casting couch shenanigans
