Except most (not all, but most) sitcoms seem based around families which are at best, to all intents and purposes, dysfunctional.
The "probably well-meaning, but slobbish, set in his ways and indolent husband" and the "why did someone this smart and good looking settle on THIS chump for a significant other, never mind enable half their crap for them" wife is a staple of too many sitcoms to list.
The only reason these couples are viewed as "happy" is narrative necessity and them repeating it, rather than any visible evidence.
Founded by girl geeks and members of the slash fandom, scans_daily strives to provide an atmosphere which is LGBTQ-friendly, anti-racist, anti-ableist, woman-friendly and otherwise discrimination and harassment free.
Bottom line: If slash, feminism or anti-oppressive practice makes you react negatively, scans_daily is probably not for you.
