Family Guy creator Seth MacFarlane opened up about the show’s controversial handling of its trans character. If you’re a fan of adult animation, chances are you’ve heard about Family Guy.
Since its debut in 1999, the show has gained notoriety and infamy for its raunchy and offensive jokes regarding numerous societal topics.
One of the biggest criticisms the show has received is its handling of the LGBTQ+ community, specifically its trans character Ida Quagmire.
Back in 2010, the character made her debut during the series’ eighth season. Throughout the episode, Ida was on the receiving end of various transphobic and homophobic jokes – which included being compared to a sex offender and various double entendres related to her Navy background.
