I haven't been keeping up with the Simpsons, but

• Feathers woven in to hair is a fad right now. It's true that it's a bit insensitive, but it's not full-out racist.

• The word "bitch" isn't sexist. I know it's a negative connotation with an original definition that vaguely has to do with females (specifically female dogs, which I would like to point out, isn't the same thing as a female human, females of certain species, like dogs and cats, have a tendency to be more territorial and rude to other members of their species than the males, or at least have been observed that way. Calling someone a "dog" has also been an insult, too, it's just not as common)

• I fail to see what the problem with drug use is. It's a thing that actually happens.

• Just because these things are in an episode of the simpsons doesn't mean that it's becoming more like family guy, because the writing styles are still COMPLETELY DIFFERENT, the jokes in family guy are never, never relevant to the plots, which are half-baked anyway. South Park has racist and sexist dialogue, along with drug use, that doesn't mean that south park is <>anything like family guy.

• And it ought to be noted that the actions of the characters do not always reflect upon the feelings of the writers.
