    You can't blame yourself. When your pre-frontal cortex fails to make you happy, promiscuity rewards you with the needed flood of Dopamine. We neurobiologists refer to it as the skank reflex.

      Honestly, I have to agree that it is a little hypocritical of Leonard to be mad at Raj when he's been dating Raj's sister without his blessing. But, it was disgusting and selfish for Raj to say that he and Penny are in love when she literally said to him, "This never happened."

    Raj did improve as the seasons went on, I think he grew alot and became more accepting of his feminine side which made him alot Kinder to those around him. I feel sorry for the way all the female characters are treated in these earlier seasons, and Raj's and Howard's behaviour isn't excused by anything. But I've always wandered if some of Raj's sexism early in the show could possibly come from a place of internalised misogyny against his own Metrosexual side.

    • @vetarlittorf1807
      @vetarlittorf1807 2 роки тому

      He always accepted his feminine side. He just didn't come out as gay because he comes from a culture where homosexuality isn't as well received as it is in the west.

    • @kateorgera5907
      @kateorgera5907 2 роки тому +3

      Raj later reflects (around Season 11, maybe?) that he based a lot of his early behaviors on Howard's when he first came to America, because he needed a friend and he thought Howard was so confident - we know he straightened his naturally wavy hair at the same time Howard did, and that Howard mocks him every time he's the least bit girly. So he may have modeled Howard's misogyny as well, to be more like him and avoid the mocking. But as his social circle grew, particularly as he finally got over his selective mutism and bonded with Penny, Amy, and Bernadette, he didn't care so much what Howard thought.

      I feel bad for Raj. His character is treated the worst by the writers. By the way, in the previous video, Eric conveniently didn't include Penny specifically saying "You know, if we weren't friends - and you hadn't brought up that creepy pornography story - I'd be on you like the speed of light squared on matter to make energy." That's not a woman just being nice and the guy misunderstanding. That was her saying he's hot and if they weren't friends she'd be having sex and/or a relationship with him. Despite Raj's flaws, he'd more relationship material than any of them, including Penny. Eric seems to have a bias against Raj and grasps onto whatever he can to confirm that bias.

    • @dboslice
      @dboslice 2 роки тому

      @@Nikki-oe7gr yeah that's actually a good analogy. Raj is definitely more of the romance type out of everybody in the group. He definitely had depressing moments and it just get worst. I relate to him very well.
      As far as Penny, I think the real reason she "slept" with Raj was because she has a weakness for heartbroken nerds. It makes sense, she accepted Leonard since the first season and it was because of Self Pity. Even though they weren't a couple in the first season, she kissed him on the lips twice on Halloween and his Birthday because she felt bad for him. With Raj, it was the same thing. Which is crazy because Leonard even admitted in this episode, that Sheldon would have gotten Penny before Howard (which is true) lol.
      She said she never should have broken up with Leonard but he was a great guy. Yet, I never cared about Leonard catching Raj and Penny together. Tbh, I wished they never wrote it off like they didn't have sex. In the last episode of season 4, it was pretty obvious that they had sex and I didn't understand what was going on with that change.

  • @Thomas_Wedderburn
    @Thomas_Wedderburn 2 роки тому +20

    I think this episode really demonstrated Leonard’s lack of caring and compassion for his friends.
    He entered into a relationship Raj’s sister without even gauging his feeling on the matter, and had sex with her in his bed. He didn’t care about Rajs feelings on the matter.
    Leonard also had the nerve to be angry/upset when Raj had an encounter with Penny. Penny and Leonard are just friends at this point and she and Raj have been friends for just as long. If Raj having an encounter with Penny is bad then what Leonard did with Rajs sister is much worse.
    Rajs behaviour is nothing more than that of an awkward goof who is bad with women. Leonards actions are that of a malicious person who cares little about the feelings of his friends.

    I'm a lifelong history buff, so I simply have to put it out there that Amy's Catharine the Great story is NOT true. Chroniclers create such stories because they're threatened by powerful, successful women. Yes, Catharine had several lovers, but they were human. Since women are traditionally defined by their sexual role, their transgressions must be, ipso facto, sexual in nature. The worst thing Lucretia Borgia ever did in her life was to have a two year love affair with a Spanish poet, - and for that she's the most infamous woman in history. 🙄🤔😟🧐

    It's hard for me to feel bad for any of them.
    Leonard is unable to let go of both Priya and Penny and so desperate to please everyone for his need of approval.
    Penny believes she can get by with just her looks.
    Raj's lack of confidence around women make him think he has a shot with any woman who is nice to him.
    Howard feels threatened by his fiance making more money than him or taller and better looking man around her and he can't cut his own pancakes.
    Priya uses Leonard. She's embarrassed to tell her parents that she's dating him and she doesn't tell him that she's moving back to India, which Leonard takes out on Raj.

    I get your reaction to Raj. I get a little triggered when I see him rush to something big out of something small. A simple wink in his direction and he would think that that the woman is in love with him and he would begin to pick out names for their future children. lol I think I would get triggered because I used to be the same way, or similar. I am in my late 30s, never been able to have a relationship. There has been some dating here and there but it never lasted longer than one date. So when somebody would be really friendly with me, it would make me feel like I had a great chance at dating them. Yet when I'd try to ask them out, they'd be almost offended or disgusted that I would think I thought they'd want to date me. It got to a point that now it is like the reverse, there could be somebody who is flirting with me, and I either wouldn't be able to tell or I'd think that they were just being friendly and not do anything about it. I get what you said about your female friends having to watch what they say/do so that it doesn't seem as flirting when they are just being friendly. Sadly it goes both ways in a sort. I have to watch what I say and do because apparently when I approach somebody, even if it was somebody who has gotten to know me, for some reason I get shot down because they are under the belief that I am just looking for a one night stand. I get viewed as if I was a sex offender. Some guys out there are legit when they get the courage to ask somebody out only to be met with ridicule because the other person felt the guy was beneath them. Also some guys just happen to make a casual glance in the direction of a female and we can get accused to starring at them or contemplating some sexual assault. This world has gone to a wasteland. It don't matter really what anybody is. Race, gender, sexuality, etc. Anybody and everybody has the potential to be a great person or a person that society looks down on. Society will be the judge despite the effort you put into yourself. Society will judge you and execute you if it feels necessary.

    I had a social life once, even several times. And no one ever reacted with disgust to someone's similar behavior, rather with understanding, indulgence, pity, or laughter. Only once did someone act so stupid that he was forcibly silenced.
    Raj and his "every girl who is nice to me is interested in me" is so obvious ... These days, even more than when the show was made. Because girls aren't nice to random men. No man has ever heard a disinterested compliment. Unless from grandma. These things are only discussed today. In an age of equality, gender change and sexist feminism. I will say even more. For many women, being nice is enough of a signal that they are interested in intercourse. And then they're furious if the man "doesn't make a move". Because they were giving such obvious signals, that is, she moved her leg, blinked and smiled.
