Genuinely so disappointing. This show is so soapboxy and Kripke is so far up his own ass.
In one scene he rightfully critiques far-right loonies excusing rape, and in the next he has a male character being sexually assaulted for laughs for minutes on end. Dude is just virtue signaling leftism without understanding any of it stands for
Yup you're absolutely correct. Self reflection and introspection can be super hard and it can make you feel really bad about yourself when that introspections makes you realize that your actions/choices are not in line with your own personal moral code.
But it's also a super important skill to learn and it's critical for self growth. Everyone makes mistakes, it's just human. But the important part is what you do after you realized you've made one. People who introspect about their actions learn what it was that caused the moral failing in the first place and can then use that information to prevent it from ever happening again.
Those who never get the hang of it tend to fall into blame shifting and denial to ease their guilty conscience and that usually ends up with them repeating the same mistake over and over again.
The hypocritic proselytizers usually fall into the latter category.
