@odetospot you responded to a very very old comment. i've rewatched the show since then and i'll openly admit that i misjudged much of the comments in this episode. i can't be more specific as I haven't rewatched s1 recently, but still.

(i know the characters are coded/written as crossdressers and not trans, but intolerant/bigoted remarks towards crossdressers are still on the whole transphobic. as bigoted people do not see a difference between the two. figured I'd clear that up)

@abetancort thanks for that it was enlightening.

@abetancort yes on the whole frasier is essential to the tv series being that it is based around him. he often does not take into account the feelings of others, which irritates me, but I did not realise that Frasier shows traits of someone with Aspergers but I will keep an eye out for it next time I watch the series - however, I disagree with you on the big bang theory, which is overtly and inherently misogynistic - something which is and should be unacceptable in this day and age. I do not view it for this very reason. so I do not wish to discuss it.

I have a personality disorder myself, but much of the world's media and portrayal of neurodivergent individuals is stigmatised and demonises us. Frasier can be likeable, but he is very self-absorbed. I am not attributing this to his Aspergers, I am merely pointing out that only people who have and understand a certain syndrome or disorder should write about it, because those who do not couldn't possibly understand what it is like and therefore will offend and upset those who do through their misrepresentation of neurodivergents and their mental disabilities/illnesses/differences.

@abetancort I refer to his lack of tact and regard for others when I mention his ignorance. Maybe you are too self absorbed to realise that words can have more than one meaning.
