action Posted October 29, 2018 Share Posted October 29, 2018 who gives a rat's ass when you've got DVD boxes to pick from, so you can watch your favorite episodes ad futurum? It's a crazy PC world out there, but I couldn't tell as I don't watch much TV, or movies for that matter, anyway. Pop culture as a whole, has regressed to PC propaganda and you'd have to pay me good money to watch any of it. When I want to watch a good movie I'll put on one of my DVD's. God bless private possession. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The long-running show has come under fire for it’s depiction of Kwik-E-Mart owner Apu Nahasapeemapetilon, with viewers complaining that the character promotes racist stereotypes of people of Indian and Asian descent. Ridiculous. Absolutely fucking ridiculous. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Sabbath Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 An even more ambitious thing would be for them to make this entire thing a joke and have Apu reference it in a new episode. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J Dog Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 This type of stuff is gonna kill art. Tv and film makers, musicians, authors, they're going to be too scared to just create art. Too conscience of social backlash. Thinking if this is right or too much or will they called out. Pandering to a certain side. I don't say this just because of the Simpsons, I've seen it in the other mediums too. Damn shame. Art is a beautiful thing and I hate to see it get handcuffed and diluted down. Smh. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh I knew it was a joke, and I'm far from sensitive. It was a hint that I don't wanna joke with you like that is all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, this is a thread about people being sensitive about a stereotype character... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
