My dad preferred Family Guy, and I didn't appreciate The Simpsons as a kid enough to seek it out.

I saw the movie in theaters and liked it tho. :shrug:

i'm literally mid 20's and i've seen every simpsons up to i think season 20, as well as the new ones mostly for cringe content

You may not need to be a flagellate but you shouldn't parade around not being a horrible person anymore as some sort of huge personal achievement. It doesn't earn you any awards you are just back at zero with the rest of us, with the baggage of having been lovely before.

as I said in a post earlier, doesn't mean you're immune to the consequences of the dumb poo poo you did. I was talking in general when I was posting this stuff, wasn't aware of the cyrano thing until I saw it pop up enough to the point where I finally checked it out.

Is the movie well-regarded? I liked it when I saw it but people have very Strong Opinions about The Simpsons.

I think it was more regarded as a huge missed opportunity because it was originally written with actual beloved characters like Hank Scorpio and Rainier Wolfcastle but they got re-written as new characters instead to make it more approachable

Holy poo poo Hank Scorpio as the main villain would have ruled, gently caress the writers for wussing out on that one. That would actually make it feel like a proper Simpsons movie instead of 3 mediocre episodes poorly glued together.

so chart guy says the definitive "yeah this show sucks" moment is The Parent Rap, but I distinctly remember watching the New York episode and it having some very funny gags but it felt like a gimmick. That's the point at which the Simpsons started doing FAMILY GOES TO PLACE episodes when the writers get bored

Well, speaking for myself, I was a totally bananas pro-war neocon when I was younger. There's no real way to "atone" for that, like "I was a bad person and now I'm a good person." All you can really do is engage in political work -- I think you have a sense of what some of that has been from my posts here. One thing that Cyrano has done since then that is cool is making a thread in that sub to track racist and fascist stuff in the gun industry, which IMO matters:

He is starting to suspect Kras Mazov *fucked him over* personally with his socio-economic theory. It has, however, made him into a very, very smart boy with something like a university degree in Truth. Instead of building Communism, he now builds a precise model of this grotesque, duplicitous world.

To be frank, just because you personally think this is unforgivable doesn't mean when people act otherwise they being convoluted to avoid agreeing with you regradless if you're right or not.
This isn't an fact people are in denial about. Explain why this is so unforgivable or how 3 years isn't enough without just saying "It's wrong to think otherwise".

Because there are plenty of people without a history of extremely racist and bigoted posting, who did not have to be taught that actually, a post saying that all muslims are violent rapists is not great, who could be doing a better job of being a moderator or admin. I already did explain this, and you're very obviously ignoring the fact that I did because you are just here to support the guy who said that the post that said all muslims are violent rapists was a great post.

"man, we just can't find someone other than this white man who said that a post calling all muslims violent rapists was a great post to moderate this forum with over 100,000 people on it. It really sucks, but he's gotten better over the years at least! Boy too bad there just isn't anyone else out there :(" -- a serious and credulous person, apparently

If it wasn't permabanworthy then to make OR publicly agree with that post or call it a 'great' post then it isn't now either, which definitely isn't true. People get permabanned for poo poo without consideration of the great person they might become one day so why the gently caress would a mod get to just do whatever and not get held accountable for it and then three years later be like "well I've gotten better though"

if someone was found to have traded child porn on these forums 10 years ago, but has been an otherwise exemplary poster since then, they would be permabanned, I hope, and yes, calling that anti-muslim post great is similarly vile, even if it isn't QUITE as vile

I already taken into account and that's why i'm comfortable with them not having power. If you read my poo poo you'd know that.
what i'm not comfortable not is giving a permanent for someone contrite and letting people whose a good bunch of their motive is "No u!" control of the convo.
If that's not what you mean by unforgivable then i'm afraid we're just angrily agreeing with each other.
