Why did the writers turn Homer into such an asshole when he use to be the semi dimwitted father who cared the most about his family.
Where was the turning point to his character when he became irredeemable?

After he got chucked by Marge when she sucked off other people's seed behind his back. ; )

I think season 9 was the breaking point for mean asshole homer, from that season onward the show declines in quality very fast anyway so I dont really care
but he had cases of beeing dumbed down and mean in earlier seasons as well, just not as often
I think it depends on who was in charge of the episodes or seasons and show in general

Because like everyone else he is a victim of flanderization
The same way Lisa turned into just the "smart, vegan, buddhist kid that has morals and is leftist".
She used to be a lot more than that.

Homer's Enemy is the start of Homer's flanderization to being a moronic and selfish imbecile.
Sneed?

or how the eponymous Flanders used to just like going to church, because it was in contrast with Homer being too lazy to go to church and Flanders was a "good neighbour and good person" that just went to church because it was a normal thing for people in the 80s. not a crazy religious nut

>She used to be a lot more than that.
reminder lisa is fucking 8.
>>86720920
>flanderization
that word gets thrown around a lot in these threads, could anyone explain what exactly it means?
>>86721230
I think the writers forgot

>Bart
Is not a retard instead of an under achiver.
>Lisa
Is not the voice of truth instead of a goodie two shoes that is right on ocation.
>Marge
Is now just there to be there. They could kill her and it would hardly impac the show at all.
>Homer
The viewers liked retarded Homer so much that they just rolled with it.

Then how do you explain this from season 4?

If anything, he became more normal after that episode where he blows up in a massive rage. He actually gets angry sometimes after that point (at least up to season 14 or 15 which is where I stop).
Everything in the simpsons universe changed for the worse when chuck lost his store to fucking sneed

Can someone explain the joke at the end there?
>Homer: Where are we going?
>Man: Sneed island.
