The Dark Truth Of Homer Simpson
video description
He loved Lisa enough to work two jobs to pay for a horse for her in the third series, but in a later series he ran over a horse with his car and kept driving maniacally. I think that was when I gave up watching on a regular basis.
As far as I'm concerned these characters might look like the Simpsons but they're imposters. Another example is how Bart and Lisa are now often interchangeable. Depending on the story Lisa is often written as being as dim as Bart. It's like Bizarro Simpsons.

HI
For every dumb and selfish moment they give homer they give him equally redeeming and lovable oaf moments as well. One of the biggest reasons he's been so influential since the late 80s/early 90s. He's a not so bright dad struggling to really make ends meets and shows not everybody is perfect, in a lot of earlier episodes (and even in some of the later ones that were actually not written like shit/celebrity shoe ins/pop culture media crap) he was a near perfect mirror of modern day family dads struggling to really be the bread winner for the family and provide while at the same time fighting their own demons.

Half of this doesn't make sense. Considering all the things that Homer has done, it's weird that they used these examples.
I mean when Maude died, that wasn't Homers fault at all imo. The staff should not be shooting to anywhere near the back row considering that there are no safety barriers.
The wishbone incident wasn't great but still. I doubt anyone thought that the wishbone would actually work. His grudge against Ned and his treatment of him outside of this is a better example that rarely ends in Homer redeeming himself

counterpoint: the racecar people should have built a back to their stands so people wouldn't fall over, Marge didn't even realize she didn't like drinking, doing crazy stuff when your drunk doesn't mean your a bad person, once he was married to the waitress there was nothing he could do except run marge should be happy with an automated house, lisa should just take some allergy medication/ stay indoors

This is a good display of the poor direction they have taken the Simpsons. Homer in the first 10 seasons definitely had his fair share of faults, but he had core beliefs that ultimately motivated his behavior. Codependants day would have never happened with the way they wrote for Homer before the Simpsons became something it was never intended to be.

He does faces consequences when homer confesses to marge what he did, so then marge takes it all out on homer! But he is a horrible human being! Not all the time though, he does good things too, so you should talk about them as well, like when he blames himself so marge's sisters wont lose their jobs! He did it for marge his wife.

People always talk about Homer's redeeming qualities, like the fact he adores his family, but in everyday life he's pathetic. His behavior towards Ned Flanders is simply awful, for one thing. In the Golden Era he at least had some redeeming qualities, like the one I said before, but today he's a pure sociopath

There was also the time that Ned bought the Simpsons house in a foreclosure sale for 100K and rented it to them for a song till they could pay him back. Homer treats him like shit and reports him as a slum lord for. .. I don't remember what exactly, but something that was Homer's fault all along.

I still love him, I think the purpose of Homer as a character is to represent a constant fight between what's good and what's bad, a fight that we experiment everyday, so that's why an episode always (not always) begins with Homer making a mistake and then we get to see his way to find a solution.

This is absolutely ludicrous. What levelheaded person would spend time berating and castigating a fictional character with such a delusional passion, as if he's doing everyone a huge favor by reprimanding an entirely fictional cartoon character? What an asinine video and concept.
