Public school teachers are callous dictators who won't lift a finger to stop children from peeing in my plane

That storyline also characterized editing out racist stuff as "taking the character out" of something and then tried to claim the racist author was doing a self-satire. They tried to hit every possible defense at once like an octopus spewing ink everywhere.

The reaction I've seen elsewhere so far is not at all positive. Basically, "you had this long to do something, and this was the best you could do???"

Just watched Marge in Chains, and that scene where Apu and Sanjay are “dancing” — yeesh. Even back then, people knew better than that. That’s not just a bad accent and a stereotypical job.

Jesus what the gently caress is wrong with Marge? It sounds like her voice actor is on death's door.

Why the gently caress is it so hard for these people to admit, just maybe, they made a fairly innocent mistake that turned out, after three decades on a popular TV show, to have a negative impact on people?

It's really off-putting.

Yeah, you're just making this poo poo up, aren't you.

Still better than the one where Bart has to impregnate a horse or whatever the gently caress. What even was that episode, and why was the series not cancelled immediately after they aired it?
