El Gallinero Gros posted:Taken down, my good man. Cliff notes? It wasn't taken down; I'm watching it right now! It's basically a fake Italian show, Bill Hader is the host, Vinny Vedecci, talking to Shia Labeouf, whom he mistakenly assumes is transsexual, because of him staring in Transformers.  Edit: still watching various SNL bits, one where Penn of Penn & Teller tell Doug Henning: "First of all Doug, as a friend, as a fellow magician, I'll give you a little piece of advice: it's 1986, get a hair cut."

A summer camp run by movie monsters would be pretty fun, in a Addam's Family kind of way - Freddy Kreuger teaches Metal and Leather work and does talks on Jungian psychology, Jason makes those sculptures from chainsawing a Log etc. Eddie Scissorhands can come and do the landscaping. He's not a monster of course, but he needs friends.

Twitch is currently running a Mister Rogers marathon and just got into the color episodes. There are moments from 1968 that are absolutely inappropriate in 2018, a stand-out being Fred bringing in and wearing some Native American garb and showing Boy Scouts doing an “Indian dance.” From a contemporary standpoint he was being respectful (notably he doesn’t talk about it in past tense and points out a headdress has to be earned) but it’s tough to explain that nuance to young folks in chat (obvious trolls and assholes notwithstanding who like to throw “triggered” around and pretend the “SJW’s” are upset every time the original “Fancy” gets sung).

He's not a monster of course, but he needs friends. I'm reminded of Roger Ebert's review of Halloween H20. Roger Ebert posted:How does Michael Myers support himself in the long years between his slashing outbreaks? I picture him working in a fast-food joint. “He never spoke much, but boy, could he dice those onions!” I have often wondered why we hate mimes so much. Many people have such an irrational dislike for them that they will cross the street rather than watch some guy in whiteface pretending to sew his hands together. Examining Michael Myers' makeup in “Halloween: H20,” I realized he looks so much like Marcel Marceau as to make no difference. Maybe he is a mime when he's not slashing.

Uh, Rog, you do realize that's a mask right? Unrelated, my mom had on Marci X today, a movie whose entire existence is deliberately embarassing. But one joke from this 15 year old movie aged in a completely unexpected way. At a fancy gala with a charity auction, the first item up for bid is a date with Donald Trump. The room falls pindrop silent.

So this isn't really an old episode I'm watching, but I'm currently watching a season 16 L&O:SVU episode (which, i should know better, but it's trashy Sunday afternoon background noise while i clean the house). This episode deals with a girl who was gang raped at a frat party (why do people still send their kids to Hudson University?), but the main focus seems to be making fun of the professor criticizing "rape culture". Why are ya'll lampooning the character for speaking on topics your show's protagonists are ostensibly against? It just really rubs me the wrong way.

It’s weird, too, since the first season had an episode about schools trying to cover up rape investigations with “internal investigations” and the like.

Sad thing is that's pretty much 99% of the representation Native Americans got or seem to ever get. When the stereotypes became distasteful it seems like they disappeared from media. About the only non-stereotypical Native American I can think of on a mainstream show is John Redcorn, and even he still parodies elements of the stereotype. Also surprised that a lot of Americans seem genuinely under the impression that native Americans are extinct.

Hell, I see more First Nations culture in Civilization V and Scion. Figures that video games and pen and paper RPGs put far more effort into diversity and portraying oppressed minorities than television.

The teacher in the saved but the Bell was like "Zach you're racist!" But then Zach went to go talk to a real Native American so when he did another report it wasn't racist. Even though I'm almost positive he was still wearing headgear and poo poo. (Either way it was definitely still racist)

And if I'm remembering correctly the presentation was the students talking about their family backgrounds, so it's actually not as bad as it seems. I think he even talks a little bit about the headdress and why it's important. To really get a bad image, find screencaps of him doing the first version of his presentation with Screech dressed up like Chief Wahoo complete with tomahawk... Also, Jesse the "liberal one" found out her family owned slaves. Why do I remember this poo poo...

Most of the minorities in America live primarily in the cities, and especially big cities like New York and LA, this is also where the media is centered. Native Americans unlike almost every other minority in this country live mainly in the rural areas of the country. And not the cool rural areas too, like the Napa Valley or the Berkshires. Like, South Dakota and Eastern Washington State, the places that the media executives would not be caught dead in. So the only exposure the people in charge of the media have to Native culture is through media and the only natives in media are from back when the Western was the most popular genre in America and having native characters in those movies was unavoidable.

Kimmy Schmidt's representation is terrible and Tina Fey exacerbated by treating its critics as whiny kids who don't get it. Godless has the best Native representation in recent memory. Unfortunately the show is mediocre.
