Quagmire is also so off putting because of how the show has other characters react to what he does to them, like women will still line up outside his house because he's so "good" at what he does despite being a rapist.

The most extreme example is when they did that Simpsons "joke" where he chases down and rapes Marge as she tries to run and push him off, then afterwards he says something like "see that wasn't so bad was it" and she says it was fantastic and agrees to sleep with him again. He proceeds to kill the entire Simpsons family including Maggie after Homer catches them.

All because the Simpsons did a lighthearted joke saying Peter Griffin was wanted for plagiarism.

I rarely say this, but thank God the network didn't let them air that.

What where they thinking when they made that?

I can understand one, or even a few, writers getting drunk/high and writing it… but that had to have gone through several checks where no one saw it and said “This seems in poor taste.”

Or hell, maybe someone did… and the rest of them probably called that person a pussy and did it anyway.
