I still don't get this, how do these people not realize that they liked these kinds of shows because of edgy jokes
Also it was almost 20 years ago, who the heck cares, almost anything that old would be considered problematic today

It doesn't even actually attack transppl. It's just a twist on the classic pretending to be somebody else story. They're just upset it's close to what trans critics accuse them of.

I think there exists some sort of cognitive flaw that some people possess that makes them incapable of distinguishing a depiction and accusation. Like, if you depict someone maliciously and cynically faking being a woman for gain, that is somehow an insult against people who, ostensibly, are not doing it for gain nor are they malicious and cynical, merely because they are occasionally accused of such by unrelated third parties. In other words, bad people say people like me do bad things, so a depiction of a bad person doing what they accuse me of means they're accusing me of doing it... despite the depicted person not actually being like me.
Honestly, it's hard to even write down what must be in their heads it makes so little sense.

You're definitely onto something. The way I look at it is that they see people as collectives not individuals. Which nulls and voids everything in your post differentiating bad and good people and people period. So they insinuited that this depiction means they're saying all
s are faking it. Idk I have to simplyfy it just to not get a headache but it still hurts. It reminds me of how there are so many genius black characters or women 'mary sues' in shit now, like remember that Star Wars Rey shit? People can't even show good characters with flaws now because they're scared it's offensive.

But that's exactly the key problem: that's tautological, because Bender isn't a
to begin with. So to conclude that the depiction is meant to reflect on all 
s means accepting that the depiction is accurate to 
s which means you believe, a priori, that 
s are faking it, hence the depiction is accurate... It's a self-fulfilling loop of a thought process, and any normal person's brain would break about halfway through. Normal people would conclude that because Bender is clearly faking it he's not a 
because 
s aren't faking it, hence it has nothing whatsoever to do with actual 
s. It takes some serious mental gymnastics to get around all the logical loops of the offended angle.

These are the same people who insist that crossdrsssers who identify as male are actually trans and dont realize it. Many of them are diametrically opposed to "truscum" beliefs (the idea that you are only trans if you have an underlying medical issue causing dysphoria).
I think they view it like this:

Futurama would be more accurate if robo-human relationships were more wide spread. The Lucy Liu being cloned by coomers is pretty much guaranteed to happen though.

I try not to think about deepfakes because I see no way western society will survive them with any kind of stability.
Imagine state-level actors just manufacturing deep fake scandals and shilling them in western democracies to cause havoc.
Q-anon consumed almost an entire political party and their fakes weren't even good.

First of all, shut the heck up. Q-anon was high quality artisanal indy trolling, constructed with patient meticulousness as a love letter to r/drama and 4chan. Sure, maybe it didn't have the huge budget that Deep State operations have, but it was designed by somebody with a very advanced knowledge of psychology and game design. You're just upset because your own trolling doesn't live up to Q, the original OG troll. Must be jelly cause jam don't shake like that!
Second of all, I've literally been using Photoshop for at least twenty years to manufacture fake celebrity nudes, fake news, and entirely delusional fictional narratives. Back then, people were a lot more gullible about this stuff than they are today - if they saw a photograph of something, that was evidence that it totally happened! Yet somehow society didn't collapse. People eventually wised up to the fact that Photoshop exists, they'll wise up to the Deepfakes also.

I mean you're barking up the wrong tree, I know a lot about this topic.
A) This isn't really relevant, Q-anon still consumed much of a political party even if it was trolling, many people fully believed in it.
B) Q-anon is almost a direct spin off of the nesara cult:

To be clear, video is vastly more serious than simple pictures, if you can't see how potent deep-fake campaigns will be, you're just not being serious.

It really isn't that great. I'm guessing that a lot of the people who'd agree are afraid of getting brow-beat with "It's too smart for you!". It does get pretty technical, granted, but when you have to think about a joke, it usually isn't funny — and that completely exclude the ones that are just science/tech references that you're suppose to laugh at for getting. This would be fine if it wasn't a comedy. I laughed out loud at futurama once, and it wasn't at one of the heckin science-love jokes — it was bender telling parents to hit their kids.
Other major problem is that Fry, Bender, and Leela are the only real characters. The others are just plot devices or springboards for jokes which all got used up in the first season ("I've got bad depth perception, you know!"). Also that the plots are just really lazy and bland. I've seen episodes where I correctly guessed what the twist end would be in the first 5 minutes; not a mark of intelligence or anything, just because of a complete lack of subtlety and tact on the part of the script.
Basically it's just not a good comedy: it's just not funny, has bad plots and bad characterization. I really wanted to like it, because my impression had been that it was like the simpsons in a sci-fi setting, but the simps far exceed it in all the parts that matter (while being equally cerebral, at least where jokes were concerned). It had a really neurodivergent approach to scriptwriting that was then decorated with some creative ideas that were neat, but just not enough to make me laugh. The funniest episode was probably the bureaucracy one.

Spreading lies on the internet and then reacting with glee when people take them seriously is no more morally defensible when the aim is to create 'drama' than it is when the aim is to smear a political opponent, undermine a political cause that costs your business money, or damage the reputation of an enemy. This 'the internet is the wild west' nonsense is a truly bizarre way to rationalise that kind of behaviour. Especially when we've seen this year how misinformation costs lives in the US and beyond. The dude who says 'in real life I am a democrat on the internet I am a misogynist blah blah' is an absolute moron. What he means is, 'on the internet I can be a misogynist, I can be a liar, and there's nothing anybody can do to stop me.' This idea that's not 'who you are in real life' is self-deluding teenage level nonsense.
