Someone whining about muh sexism in a Flintstones episode:
  • Baffle Blend: While this might be a tad unfair, one episode above all has showed me exactly how poorly this series has aged; "The Happy Housewife". The gist of it is that Wilma gets a job as a host on a TV show, where she gives housewives advice. Fred is upset because her working means she's not home to make elaborate dinners. Eventually, it turns into blackmail when a gossip column threatens to expose that the Happy Housewife's Happy Husband isn't so happy himself. Even if he didn't have such a terrible, selfish, and bratty reason to be unhappy in the first place (which he did have a terrible, selfish, and bratty reason; this can't be emphasized enough.), that alone would have crossed the Moral Event Horizon. So after Wilma is essentially forced to quit her job... the episode ends with her singing a she brings Fred a chunk of meat. Needless to say, this was the last episode of The Flintstones that I ever watched, because after seeing it, Fred was unlikable, unwatchable, and unforgivable.

>putting 2018 values on a show from 1960
This is why TVTropes is a joke. In other words, the recent Flintstones comic from DC is pretty good.

When you're so desperate to be offended you start REEEEing at a nearly 60 years old cartoon.

Wouldn't you get tired of hearing about just Thomas the Tank Engine and Sonic all the time?
What are talking about? Autists have a wide variety of stupid shit they love to sperg about, like My Little Pony, Competitive Smash Bros., Nostalgia Critic and his falling empire, anime, Steven Universe, and Nickelodeon.

So you quit watching that show because of a very dated episode...makes not sense at all.

I thought that you weren't supposed to discuss politics on TVTropes. Or was that on the actual trope pages themselves? And why would someone choose to have a hurricane as their avatar?

Yup, there's Thomas stuff on TVTropes too. And they actually do this on the main page for that show:
