@TheCrystalShip:
LOL, she's clearly a raging Aspie.
I mean, I don't really enjoy that show for a lot of reasons, but it's a genuine character trait.
Even if that was true, does it explain her blatant racism against both muslims and every single indigenous person ever ?
(Long story short, the first instance there was a new researcher coming to the institute, who'se country of origin was Iran. Without knowing anything about the guy, his beliefs, or personality, the very first thing she said to him was her "poking fun" of how "his religion" makes him not approve of gay people.
And that same episode the guy proved to be super nice and did not care about that stuff at all. And yet no one called her out on it.
The second is her reffering to a bunch of drunk teenagers fucking on a beach as a "tribe" and spent the whole episode delivering treatise on "tribal behaviour" and pointing out analogues in the conduct of said drunk kids fucking on a beach)

@Monkey:
is not even remotely the thing as 3rd Rock From the Sun.
Also Bones owns, that character is supposed to be weird like that lol. I dunno if that was lost in translation to Czech or what.
I was not reffering to 30 Rock. I simply meant she acts like the aliens from 3rd Rock, except replacing humour with racism, elitism and disdain.

Bones is amazing. She's one of the strongest female characters currently on TV, yet she routinely shows her weaknesses and insecurities, which make her that much more of a complete character (and her borderline autism seems to have been triggered by the childhood trauma of her parents leaving, as opposed to just being a quirk for the sake of a quirk).
And "I don't know what that means" never gets old.
Well she certainly provokes a strong reaction in me every time she decides to waste screentime with her psycho-pseudoanthropological crap about every damn thing ever.

Oh, sorry. I missed the first part of the conversation I guess and was picturing Kevin James beating his wife on King of Queens while the laugh track runs.
Cartoons are a slightly different story. I say anything goes in the Looney Tunes-esque realm, and in something like OP…? Ideally there should be no problem giving girls stereotypical pink hairy bumps on their heads after they get clocked for insulting someone or doing something perverted (for that matter, why so few female perverts?).
Because TV executives (at least in the west) want to make sure they don't get called out on TV for "disgracing women" in some capacity.
Which would happen.
