I hope they don’t start considering the other citizens in this cartoon town.

It’s a cartoon. Turn it off if you don’t like it.

So the Lisa character is supposed to be liberal, normally???

Really???

And then, the PC police object to anyone discussing how things were in different areas of life, before political correctness caused a strangle hold????

So then , we are supposed to be politically correct, but aren’t supposed to talk about political correctness????

And prepare to be destroyed if you make fun of political correctness?????

Notice how slanted the article is. Not one single “shut up and get over it” comment. Just an over-representation of fragile flowers whose widdo feewings got hurt.

This is how liberalism is. Especially the social justice warrior variety.

If they are so passionate about something, they should put out their own product and let the marketplace decide.

But they know that they won't win that way.

So they find something successful and do their damndest to corrupt it to their will.

And if you resist, they will brand you a racist, a homophobe, a sexist, intolerant, whatever.

And their allies in mainstream media will eagerly broadcast their accusations. Until in the end the business or series or whatever either acquiesces or is forced to shut down.

These people are evil.

God forbid they actually take issue with Homer Simpson’s character...but hey, he’s a white guy, so he is fair game for ridicule.

Oh, they don’t ridicule Homer Simpson...got it!

I’m just surprised that Dr. Hibbert isnt targeted because he is supposed to be the Simpson take of their then 1980s prime-time network rival, BILL COSBY.

I haven’t seen Symptoms in YEARS. Is Apu running around blowing things up now? Is that what they’re upset about?

Read Indian publications. Apu is ALWAYS used as an Indian stereotype noun.
