Yeah, but the characters in at least the first two American Pies aren’t rewarded for their disgusting behavior. It’s called out and they suffer the consequences for them.

The Nerds though are non-ironically presented as outright heroes, when they are hardcore degenerates and criminals. I’m supposed to be rooting against the Alphas in all this shite when the hero is an outright rapist and the entire fraternity conspired to have cameras spying on all the naked girls? Yeah I know with the later American Pie does something somewhat similar, but not to near the degree and Jim fricking pays for it.

I never got that offended about the American Pie stuff b/c what happens to Nadia happens to Jim, too. Like you said, he was immediately punished and that was the larger point of saying, "This is bad. Don't do this".

*ETA: is it a perfect resolution? No, but it's a teen sex comedy, not a serious socio-political drama.

Your Alpha Beta's forced Lewis and Gilbert to have sex with a sheep and proceeded to tar and feather for the walk back to the gym. And Betty set them up.
