The Problem With Apu - Designated Shitposting Thread

[Trilby]

Given how Hank Azerea(sp) is stepping down as Apu and they'll probably get a race-appropriate VA, I worry that the SJW still won't be happy with that. There's also this line from a response in TMS...

See, someone gets it here.

I recently changed my avatar to this scene from a 90's episode that had an Ice Cream truck labled this way. Back then, we knew what this was satirizing, but today, I don't think anyone would really get it at all (since we're seeing it happen already).

Lol - considering the common stereotype of Indians are utterly filthy rapists, I think Apu is the least of your problems

The sequel to "The Problem with Apu" should be "The Problem with Autism" and be about what's wrong with this Kondabolu idiot.

He's probably the most idealist Indian out there!

Matt Groening has finally put his own two cents in: "“Not really. I’m proud of what we do on the show. And I think it’s a time in our culture where people love to pretend they’re offended.”

What about that gay dude they added in a few years back? I think his name is Julio or something?

Good for him. Someone had to say it.

Of course people are reeeeing over it. You should see the fit The Mary Sue and their commentors had.

Yep, this is the same guy who whined about Apu.

Zero limits, huh? Seems pretty disingenuous to describe someone upset at a cartoon character as having "zero limits"...
