“Oscar Hosts Preferable to Seth MacFarlane: An Abbreviated List” by Robin Hitchcock
Seth MacFarlane has been tapped to host the 85th Annual Academy Awards next February. MacFarlane is the creator of The Family Guy and several other animated television programs (American Dad, The Cleveland Show) known for their blatant hostility toward women, people of color, the LGBTQ community, and the basic tenets of comedic storytelling. MacFarlane’s first motion picture, Ted, was a box office hit last summer. He can sing and do funny voices and he looks pretty good in a tux. The producers of the Academy Awards ceremony are hoping he can bring in his lucrative young male demographic to boost the declining ratings for the Oscars telecast. [And I guess they already forgot about that whole debacle with Brett Ratner and Eddie Murphy last year.]While it’s possible MacFarlane as host will bring in droves of 18-year-old boys to watch montages celebrating old movies they’ve never heard of interspersed with awards being granted to movies they’ll never watch, the Academy Awards have alienated at least one lifelong die-hard Oscars fanatic: me.

Shut the fuck up.
I’ve come out of a catatonic depressive state temporarily due to the good news that my favorite entertainer has been granted the distinction of hosting the Academy Awards next year. I am fucking proud of him for netting this honor since it’s mostly given to insanely boring old white men or black men who have sold out irreparably to gain money in their floundering craft.
Anyone who harps and bitches that MacFarlane is misogynistic, foul-mouthed, ignorant, sexist, bigoted or racist is going along with the zeitgeist for wounded minorities (any gender or sex or race or ethnicity or fashion group) and has probably never seen an episode of Family Guy other than the edited, out-of-context clips than feminist blogs or Fox News showcase on occasion in order to drum up more propagandized hate for MacFarlane and his ilk, the so-called “dumber demographic” of 18 year old males with their hands glued down the front of their pants.
That was a mouth full, yes. You know how easy is it to shuttle Family Guy and its peers into that demographic pool and shit on it repeatedly with your high and mighty “I’m a lesbian/genderqueer/dyke/black woman/conservative ginger man and am therefore offended” rhetoric? It’s just as easy to shuttle YOUR minority groups into some corner without a second thought, which you complain about constantly.
Seth MacFarlane is not a racist, a bigot, nor any other dishonorable and repulsive stereotype you can throw at him. He is not the jokes that the TV shows he is associated with present. If you’ve actually bothered to read or watch the interviews (several of which exist) that he’s given over the twelve years that Family Guy has been on the air, you’d be able to gather this. He is incredibly dedicated to science education and and environmental causes (check out what he’s doing with Carl Sagan’s “Cosmos”) and has stated on several occasions that he tries to keep out of the political debates and climates in public because it’s not really his business. That’s absolutely correct; it’s NOT his business. He voices an obese Irish Catholic alcoholic who joins the Tea Party and abolishes Qhahog’s government. Is that Seth MacFarlane abolishing the government? No, it isn’t. MacFarlane doesn’t endorse political candidates, doesn’t talk about abortion, birth control, women’s rights (in fact, all he’s said about this is that, as a man, he has no RIGHT to talk about it one way or the other and neither should people like Mitt Romney), war strategy, foreign policy, religion, all of these things that are jokes on his cartoon show.
By the way, yeah. Let me reiterate that. CARTOON SHOWS. ANIMATED FICTION SHOWS THAT ARE NOT REAL. DRAWINGS. FAKE DRAWINGS WITH FUNNY CARTOON VOICES.
Shut the fuck up about Seth MacFarlane. He has done a lot more positive things, and said a lot more positive things about the LBGTQ community than you can imagine. If you really haven’t picked up on this, you’ve never seen his shows, and therefore CANNOT judge his words. At the end of the day you’re calling a fictional cartoon character a piece of shit, not Seth MacFarlane. If you want to get on MacFarlane’s case, then track down HIS interviews, HIS words, HIS quotes, NOT Peter Griffin’s. MacFarlane does NOT write every script for Family Guy, American Dad or The Cleveland Show.](http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_mbfxeqfwty1riop3bo1_250.jpg)
