I've just been absolutely sickened for the past couple hours (as of typing this) at what I had just seen. The bit that got me mad was how Loki manipulated Bart and, as a result, Lisa had thrown the real Bart off somewhere (I haven't been able to figure out where) and nobody even cared! Even in the next scene where Homer notices that the person in Bart's room was Loki, he didn't care or nothing. And to add insult to injury, in the credits sequence, Bart is, quite obviously, nowhere to be seen in the artwork!
By the way, this isn't even the first time something like this would happen to Bart. But the fact that it happened here aswell is just distressing to my mental health. Why the hell do they make Bart go through so much torture like that?! I'm sorry, but for this reason, I cannot rate this any higher than 1 star.
I am honestly getting sick and tired of having to watch so many episodes of Bart being tortured like this (with the current latest Treehouse of Horror being a perfect example). Any more stuff like this in season 33 and I'm honestly going to kiss this show goodbye. I'm not sticking around to watch more of Bart being used as a punching bag.
P. S. Another thing that also upsets me is how, whenever people talk about characters (from similar shows) being treated like this, they almost always talk about either Meg Griffin or Zoidberg (in Family Guy and Futurama, respectively), and never about Bart. That definitely needs to change, and needs to spread awareness. And sure, I understand that they both also get treated poorly too, the difference is that the audience and viewers of both shows acknowledges this and get all the attention from the viewers (little wonder that many people hated the Family Guy episode Seahorse Seashell Party), but when Bart gets treated like this, no one gives a damn about it. Often times he's treated even worse compared to Meg Griffin or Zoidberg, and they're able to get away with it, which is not ok. What also sucks is that they're still trying to push the agenda of the storyline of The Thing and I (from Treehouse of Horror VII) upon its viewers as a sort of "justification" for treating Bart like this, and the viewers are sucked into this false narrative about him, which I just find to be total BS.
