Something that started decades ago and was applauded and inoffensive is now politically incorrect

There's a point in it, who even watches the Simpsons now if not people who has been loyal to it since the early seasons? It's a very left leaning show now, but it's the kinda of left writing that makes it look like the writers grew inside a fenced condominium their whole lifes learning about the outside world from broadway lectures, french cult movies and NY magazines, it appeal to anyone but left boomers
Even the episode said, they put it like "it's offensive and not acceptable NOW" like they know it's just a bunch of new kids bicthing, if not they would acknowledge as "it was never acceptable" instead they just said "sorry for being old, i guess!". The deal is the Simpsons writing dosen't live in the "now", their audience dosen't live in the "now"

I'm honestly curious to see how butchered the show can get and still be aired. I'd love for people to start complaining about how their skin color is offensive to orientals and then change it to that normal pinkish color in futurama and not mention it.

Learn and grow?

I dunno. This is, after all, the site that frequently says that black characters don't lookt black if they don't look like gollywogs.

>Something that started decades ago and was applauded as something rebellious and edgy is now inoffensively bland

What can you do?

> started decades ago and was applauded

by who, Hank?

Reboot the series. Make the sequel show they always wanted to make, when they did 22 Short Films. Make it Steamed Hams the show basically

Meaning taking the focus off the Simpsons and have it jump around to different Springfield residents from episode to episode?

That's... not a bad idea, actually.

The simpsons has always been a little political, but the latest "squad cucks trump" bullshit looks Lisa Goes Gaga level of bad.
The problem isn't the politics, it never was, the simpsons took potshots at trump before he was even political, the problem is that it turned into hero worship. It wasn't "trump bad" that ruined it, it was "squad = HEROS OMG SO BRAVE"
Every hero worship episode was garbage.
>Lisa goes Gaga
>The Musk who fell to earth
The only good episode was the one with Michael Jackson and that was poking fun, it wasn't worship.

>The only good episode was the one with Michael Jackson and that was poking fun, it wasn't worship.

And now its gone forever.

Forgot
>A midsummers night dream
A cheech and chong worship episode that is bottom 10 level

DON'T FUCK WITH MY HOMER AT BAT!

Also forgot when you dish upon a star. But that one isn't as bad, as it, again rags on celebrities.

What's the reward for adhering to political correctness? Religious people get paradise or reincarnation when they die, but why would you make yourself miserable walking on eggshells for the rest of your life with no hope of it leading to something better, especially when what's considered okay changes so abritraril? Do the people who push it even beleive it?

They put Oswald (and Sora) on the D23 poster this year

Ignore them and don't change a thing.

Which is what they're doing.

You don't get lynched by your woke peers and/or are morally superior. Alot of Religious clicks are like this too despite your personal beliefs

nobody cares anymore i don't think, except maybe some people whining on social media.

Apu is proof that the Simpsons should've ended years ago. but that's my own opinion on the matter and the show as a whole.

the only sincere way to show that they care was to change Apu so he's not a stereotype anymore. some might say that he was never a stereotype, not a negative one at least, given that he was the most solicited bachelor, is his "own boss" and has a sexy wife so there's no reason to double down because there """""never"""" was a intention to be negative towards Apu.
the problem lies in how audiences reacted to Apu and how they in turn behaved towards the hindu population in America, which is what Hari Kondabolu was all about in that documentary.
the problem is the audience, so much that Apu had to be removed from the show.

Thats tumblr

tell evetyone to fucking suck it

Didn't the Problem with Apu guy offer suggestions for ways they could make Apu less stereotypical without radically changing his dynamic, and Al Jean was like "Nah we'll just write him out of the show and blame you?"

Actually, by the time the documentary came out Apu hadn't even been had a speaking line for years. The writers already felt weird about the fact that he was a stereotype, made "Much Apu About Something" to talk about it (it was a shitty episode and really didn't say anything when you get down to it, but hey, it's something), and then quietly soft-retired him.

What were those suggestions?

Dilate

>who even watches the Simpsons now
Spics. Latin America fucking loves the Simpsons for reasons that elude me but seem to involve dank memes.

Make him the manager of a chain of Kwik-E-Marts and have him occasionally work there for nostalgia's sake. Get Hank Azaria some dialect lessons. I forget the rest.

>Make him the manager of a chain of Kwik-E-Marts and have him occasionally work there for nostalgia's sake.
I don't think that really makes him less stereotypical. It just implies he has more money.

Owning a chain of convenience stores would make him more like actual Indian-Americans, yes.

>pretends everything's a fucking war
You really think this isn't a fucking war at this point? I guess then go back to living in Tiny Houses, having no kids, buying Fur Babies, and eating fucking bugs while you train up to go die in some god forsaken desert for some jews.

It likely wasn't okay in the first place. My Indian friend in highschool didn't like us saying "thank you come again." And this was back in 2010 and 2011. So we stopped doing it.
Its likely that not enough people could express that the actions were insulting them to their family.

Mexicans loves speedy, why Indians can't love Apu?

Just end the damn fucking show. It has been going on for 30 years. Sensibilities change in a spam of three decades. Apu wouldn't have been a problem if this damn zombie show had ended already

So you were mocking your friend and he didn't like it so Apu has to be erased?

its a money laundry scheme

>It likely wasn't okay in the first place.
Yeah, you got it. A lot of people have a problem understanding that just because they learned about something yesterday doesn't mean it didn't exist until yesterday.

Kids woould call me "Fred Flintstone" back in school and i fucking hated it. Doesn't meant Fred Flintstone had to be erased from existance.

Tell the priveleged whiney snowflakes to shut the fuck up. Apu is literally the best representation you can ask for in a satirical cartoon on a TV budget. If Simpsons really wanted to show the real India, they'd feature curry eaters shitting on sidewalks while roving homeless wastrels dragged little girls into alleys to be beaten and gangraped.

You see this is why people like you can never become writers. Halfway through you just start foaming at the mouth and forget to write an actual joke. Shows like The PJs were able to show ghetto trash in a fun way but if it were up to you it would just show them eating fried chicken and quoting crime statistics.

bad guess

That's not a hero worship episode, that's a parody.

Are you a Cro-Magnon?

neither is the MJ one. It made him out to be a crazy fat white guy.

>if it were up to you it would just show them eating fried chicken and quoting crime statistics

More people would remember The PJs if they actually had an episode like that.

>Said no one ever

It's hilarious that whenever these types complain about "PC culture" ruining creativity, the most inventive examples of what's being "suppressed" they can come up with is shit like "Hey, you ever noticed how Jews have big noses? LAWL!"

>in the same thread
>spouted by a few mins

Jews do have big noses.
