We Blame Roseanne
<p>This isn’t a recap show. It’s a cultural exploration, a dissection of learned behaviors and toxic patterns, and an examination of the intersection of historical events and entertainment. Because even though she may think she’s been erased from history, the fact is that her art and her public persona have influenced societal, familial, and political movements.</p><p>It may be easier for some people to separate the art from the artist, but it’s impossible to ignore the larger impact when the artist decides to make their politics known. Art is inherently political, and while fictional liberties are taken, comedians who launch sitcoms based on their work are including some version of themselves in the writing.</p><p>There are a lot of fans who label this as their comfort show and can relate to the Conner family because it reflects a lot of what they saw at home. Those same fans will also say that Roseanne’s current public persona “happened all of a sudden” and are convinced that she was red pilled after watching too much YouTube. But if you go back and re-assess the show, along with the connected media surrounding it, you see that she’s always been this way to some extent. </p><p>We’ll be illustrating this through the lens of a specific phenomenon or problem each episode.</p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
