Anyone else?

I’m doing a rewatch of the series right now and it makes me feel so many good emotions :)

Zoidberg is the best character and you can’t change my mind 😹😹

I’m also a little surprised they renewed it for a third or fourth time last year… definitely wasn’t expecting that because of the previous ending it had, and I’m honestly not sure how to feel about it, cuz I think it tends to suffer from seasonal rot. But either way I think I’m still happy that we get new episodes.

Also, since we’re on Ovarit, I gotta make an obligatory shoutout for that episode where Bender joins the Olympics as a female robot. I can’t believe they predicted that shit 20 years ago!

Depending on culture maybe. Some cultures put more pressure on people (specially women) to marry, so I'd say in that case there is oppression

Yeah, but that's just ordinary patriarchal oppression of women.

I am not asexual, I just haven't met a man I'd want to marry. Forcing me to marry some ugly dude would be oppression just as much as forcing an "asexual" woman into that.

(I, too, would usually not care if people want to call themselves asexual, I just think it is covering up societal and medical problems. If people who find porn disgusting just call themselves asexual, there is no pushback against porn, no one opposes the claims that porn shows how you have to have sex. Same with SSRIs killing people's libidos, if depressed people claim to be asexual, then no one learns about the side effects of SSRIs. Not wanting to have sex can be a result of trauma, or of poor health, and if "asexual" is made an identity one may not question, all those things are covered up.)
