What makes the show great is that Adam Reed usually doesn’t play stereotypes for easy laughs. We should expect more than that from Archer. But for less tolerant viewers, the episode reinforces the notion that an oversexed monster lurks inside every gay man. Tolerant viewers might watch it with a grin and shrug off its problematic undertones. But “The Wind Cries Mary” dove too deep into the waters of still-fresh bigotry for my taste. He shouldn’t. Archer derives many of its laughs from its political incorrectness, which is great–most fans (myself included) revel in its frequent bursts of deeply transgressive humor. Actually, I think he feels entitled to do it. I think Reed feels comfortable injecting this kind of startlingly homophobic humor into his show because it also features an openly gay character. Ray’s character arc has distressingly loud echoes of such discrimination–as did “The Wind Cries Mary.” Anyone with a faint knowledge of LGBT history will know that gays were long demonized as hypersexual beasts unable to control their impulses, and as sexually aggressive threats to straight men, and that one historic punishment for sodomy was castration. Later, Ray is stricken with paraplegia from the waist down, a rather obvious form of symbolic emasculation. That’s troubling. Most notably, in “Blood Test,” Ray casually raped an unconscious Cyril, with no apparent character motivation other than an urge to have sex. That might be the price Reed pays for bold comedy, but it is, at times, a high one given Ray’s more shocking antics. All too often, however, Ray’s actions play into distorted societal misconceptions about gay people where Archer’s or Malory’s misdeeds would merely be absurdly funny. That’s not to say Reed should handle Ray with kid gloves: Most characters on Archer are, after all, charmingly twisted. Ray is often depicted as hypersexualized, and while he’s not alone in being oversexed (see: Pam), the trait feels quite loaded when applied to a gay man.

On the other hand, Archer often plays off the kind of homophobic stereotypes that historically fostered so much fear and hatred toward gay people.
