2. • Today I will talk a little about why the
character of Lisa Simpson has been so
hated, detested and even irritating for
many people, I will tell you what I think.
• To begin with, it is necessary to explain
a little about who this girl is. Lisa
Simpson in the family has the role of
being her intelligent daughter, in fact
she has even been described as "gifted"
because of her great skills in the things
she does.
3. Lisa Simpson is…
• She is a naturalist, feminist,
vegetarian and her character in
today's words we could say is
"unique and different", she is 8
years old, loves reading and
playing the saxophone, she is
the girl bullied at school and
falls in love very easily.
4. Why do they hate
her?
• I think the main reason for this is her
personality which has changed in a
negative way. Lisa tends to have very
questionable attitudes in some episodes
(both obnoxious and selfish) and since
people don't like that very much, it hurts
the image of the character and the
perspective you have on her.
• Therefore, I have divided these attitudes
into 3 points to get an overview of why
Lisa earns this contempt from people.
5. Point #1 She is
ashamed of his family
• I will mention first the episode "At the
Sundance Film Festival" (Episode 18 Season
19) where Lisa doesn't care about privacy
and humiliates her family just to create a
simple short film for the Sundance Film
Festival, this is not what only that bothered
many people since in this same episode her
family does nothing to her, Lisa gets
irritated by taking negative actions and
nobody corrects her or says anything to
her.
• She also mention the famous phrase "I
don't want to become someone like you",
Lisa first doesn't want to be like her dad,
and I understand it in a certain way,
nobody wants to be a fat alcoholic, but
taking it from the point of being her dad ,
it looks bad because they have done their
best to maintain it. In my opinion, she was
a bit rude when she said it and I think there
6. Point #2 Her progressivism
• To begin with, I will mention that on several occasions Lisa
tries to "stand out" with progressive things like feminism
or Buddhism, but since she believes in this a lot, she tries
to change people in a bad or even exaggerated way and
expects them to treat her well. , this is not good.
• Here I will bring up the subject of her vegetarianism, as we
see in the episode "Lisa the Vegetarian" (episode 5, season
7) Lisa stops eating meat because she feels pressured to
think that she is harming animals, the moment in which
Lisa realizing that she would never again be able to eat
any kind of animal was crucial to her character. In this
episode she decides to sabotage Homer's barbecue and
steal the pig. Now, we understand that she wasn't getting
much support from her circles, but being a vegetarian is
not an excuse to pass on her beliefs to someone else like
Lisa did. Fortunately, she learned her lesson at the end of
the episode.
• Lisa has always been described as a person capable of
conveying controversial issues and, in many ways, she is
the best warrior of justice. Except she's eight years old and
sometimes acts like one.
8. Conclusion
• To conclude I could say that Lisa needs to
improve as a character and "person" but if
I'm honest I can say that thanks to this
nonsense is that there are some interesting
plots.
