Why doesn’t Jerry stand up for himself?

Jerry represents the old, outdated patriarchal ideal of the family man. When more female writers took over the writing for the show, Jerry turned from a responsible adult that occasionally became the butt of the jokes to a pathetic worm that squirms at the first sign of trouble. This just shows how much the white men is hated in today's society and reflects the various daddy issues coming from the female writers who, coincidentally, are the same writers responsible for the worst season in the show's history.

Nope, but even i felt that scene was the character being too pathetic, even in comparasion to other moments in the show.

Do it then.

Being pathetic is literally his character. You're just autistic and identify with him.

Your family that will side with the scientist no matter what you do or say? Good luck.

Because bad things happen when Jerry mans up.

His cowardliness is the only thing that holds him back from being a huge threat.

I did feel the show was being too mean on him in this ep. He just broke up with Beth, got separated from his kids and yet they still continue to shat on him

>identify with Jerry because he's kind of the underdog
>he keeps getting shit on each episode he's in some way or another
>learn that Roiland made the character to not be sympathized with
shit sucks
