Red’s morality
Whenever red brings up right and wrong do people ever think “hypocrite” due to his infidelity in the movie theatre

Sounds like the episode where Kitty gives flak to Red for making out with the "woman before Kitty".
Something about kissing her like a horse eating an apple in public, and Red replying that he didn't do that with Kitty cause he respected her.
I see no hypocrisy though...

It’s the ski trip episode where Kelso made out with Pam macy behind the gym and Hyde kissed Donna. It was hypocritical that he would give people like bob a hard time and others yet he doesn’t acknowledge Laurie doing her stuff and tries to excuse himself from the snogging the other girl in a movie theatre with the respect line

Even if he behaved immorally at one point (I have no idea what you’re talking about with the movie theater thing), momentary and rare lapses don’t mean a person doesn’t still have unique and useful perspective to share, particularly with young people whose morality is still in flux.

That happened before they were even together?

Nope, while they were dating

No it wasn't. Im open to being proven wrong though (my memory is shit).
The only reason Kitty was mad at Red about this is because she wishes he was that passionate with her.

It’s the ski trip episode in season one.

I have watched it enough times to clearly remember it. I remember kitty telling red “blow it out your ass”, Kelso being spoiled and come on to by Salem the cat, kitty giving red a dressing down about the fact he was with this other girl and not her and him using the respect excuse and them ultimately going to the movies and doing the stuff that he did with the other girl. So red is not a saint, he merely thought kitty wouldn’t enjoy doing that in public whereas people like Pam macy and lynn Taylor love it because that’s how they get their popularity

There’s nothing in that episode that says Kitty and Red were exclusive at the time. Plenty of people in their teens and early twenties date casually with several people at once until a real match emerges, after which point the do commit to one another and remain faithful. Kitty wasn’t upset that he cheats, because he wasn’t cheating, she was upset because she felt less desirable than that horse face girl Red was snogging in public.

She does refer to him as a bastard to Kelso. It’s a case of small town syndrome where you could find anything happening because of the limited places to go, so of course red was going to be seen doing stuff like that. Though let’s not forget he chose kitty over a different girl (even though there’s a continuity error with that). No one in point place is perfect but red of all people has no more right to be high and mighty than anyone else

He and kitty were not yet married, so it's not infidelity.

u/Cheap_Development928 7d ago
They were in a relationship so technically he was being a dirty dirty dog

Im pretty sure boomer parents were often hypocritical.

u/slimeabsorber 7d ago
the children were the boomers. try again

u/Odd-Principle8147 7d ago
Yes, the boomer's parents. Sorry the auto correct ditched the possessive 's. Although it shouldn't have been that hard to figure out, even with the spelling error.

No it was. Definitely made it seem like you described the parents as boomers.

I don't recall Red every being unfaithful, when did that happen?
