Not surprisingly, Fox is just going to ignore its racist Dads
Adopting a tactic used at dinner tables everywhere, Fox has opted to just ignore its racist Dads and quietly hope things change, following complaints from an Asian-American advocacy group who asked that the network reshoot its pilot. The main offending scene—which involves Brenda Song dressing up in a “sexy Asian schoolgirl” outfit/Sailor Moon costume we’re not really supposed to call “sexy” in polite society—will remain, with network executives responding by saying that, eventually, “You will see that Brenda Song’s character is a strong, intelligent, empowered young woman who basically runs the company, and who almost always gets the upper hand.” Even when she’s asked to be a living erotic manga-based masturbatory fantasy for laughs, and she makes the empowered decision to comply. (Because how else will she get the upper hand, unless all the lower hands are busy?)
