Is Homer Simpson supposed to be smart or stupid?
I see your point. But do you think that idiot characters like Homer help perpetuate stereotypes about working-class people being less intelligent?
That's a really insightful question. I think there's a risk of perpetuating those stereotypes, but I think it ultimately depends on how the character is portrayed and how they are perceived by the audience. In the case of Homer Simpson, his intelligence or lack thereof is just one aspect of his character, and he's still respected by those around him despite his flaws.
