Why are the writers so hell bent on pushing him as the Meg Griffin of the Simpsons?

Much like Meg, they don't know what else to do with him
Austin Rogers
My guess is that the current writers just identify more with Lisa
Lucas Mitchell
Back in the day marketing was about attacking little boys to get their parents money. Now it's about attacking little girls for their parents wallet.
This results in Bart being a victim of circumstance.
Mason Murphy
They hate his voice actor.
Ryder Morgan
Bart gets away with whatever he did from at least ten seasons.
Jace Butler
Because he's a straight white male
Lucas Allen
Blue shirt Bart was always better.
Colton Moore
Because the show has been going on for a decade longer then it needed too and the writers don't know what to do
Josiah Evans
Try two decades longer.

Animators you mean?
Ethan Price
They have nothing left at this point except to indulge their fetishes.
Matthew Perez
Have you ever worked in a studio? That's always been the case.
Angel Bennett
The classic episodes did it way less though.
Asher Gonzalez
It's easier and cheaper to modify character models with modern digital editing tools.
Nathan Davis
because they worship Lisa Simpson and her VA to creepazoid cultish levels
David Martinez
Try Fox stupidly paying Yeardley $4 million a year to voice one character so the writers are forced to use Lisa way more than necessary to justify this.

Delicious

Fat ass yellow foot.
Xavier Davis
I thought he was Asian.

They never intended anything else in mind for Meg's character other than being mean to her--Family Guy was always meant to be a scathing indictment of the sitcom genre and Meg's about as cynical and spiteful an approach to teenaged daughter archetypes as you can get. Her early appearances all revolve around becoming or staying popular, wrapped up in superficial social climbing and hoping a cute boy gives her the damn time of day. And this was never a show that had any interest in giving her a moment to shine. They just altered their focus a little and just gave up any pretense of anything else but being mean to her.
Bart, on the other hand, *is* a victim of the well going dry. Not only can you only tell so many "Bart pulls prank, prank backfires, Bart feels bad and tries to fix shit" stories, he's really not that much of a shocking character any more. Compared to Cartman literally getting away with murder and anything you see in Rick and Morty, you can't really have Bart pull a monocle popper any more.
Dominic Roberts
Because he's a male. That's literally it

All those years being too famous in the 90's ahead of Lisa Marge Maggie and Homer!

>"Bart pulls prank, prank backfires, Bart feels bad and tries to fix shit" stories
Now it's just "Bart gets a new talent, Lisa get's jealous, Bart feels bad and tries to fix shit" stories
Blake Baker
Would you Stop with your conspiracy theory's.

Why are they so hellbent on showing Bart’s penis? Gotcha there!
Grayson Rodriguez

since when did Meg Griffin ever fought back and get good moments in, if anything Lisa is the Meg of the family as everyone says she's a boring moralfag

That was only Jazzy and the Pussycat and the episode came out 12 fucking years ago. Let it go!

Why are you still watching the Simpsons in this day and age?
Just watch seasons 1 to 10 and then drop it like damn near most everybody else.

The actual end of the episode was beyond pathetic with Meg accepting her role in life as the family's lightning rod taking all of their abuse.
Terrible message for any viewer regardless of your political or belief bias.
Nicholas Stewart
He is a cis het white (yellow) shitlord male. His time of being tolerated is over Mischief by his kind is now classified as assault, not pranks.
Jaxon Nguyen
Why did they make her apologize?
Samuel Peterson
status quo
Lincoln Green
I remember reading this great comic where Bobby from King of the Hill is acting as a counsellor for a grown up Bart and Chris. Chris mentions that they treated his sister so horribly that when she hit 18, she just left.
I'd love to see an episode do that. No dramatic outburst or anything. Meg just walks out the door and never comes back.
Adam Walker
Meg canon already is 18
Kayden Morgan
I've seen that comic too, its great
John Parker
Logan Adams
God I wish that were a case.
>pull an episode because of allegations against a dead man
>continue to employ a voice actress that is funneling all her money into a dangerous cult
Parker Watson
It was also the plot to E My Sports, except instead of Bart making Lisa feel better for some undeserved reason, everyone hates him at the end for Homer ruining their chances
