On second thought after my knee-jerk reaction... removing Paradise Syndrome and the blackface Klingon episodes from TOS rotation in syndication and streaming sites might not be a bad idea. The flagrantly sexist Turnabout Intruder could go as well.

That and the klingons, who are pure blackface mixed with Yellow Peril. And The Paradise Syndrome, which is pretty offensive to native americans. And TNG episode Code of Honor.

Yeah, that’s my take away.

How long until every episode of Star Trek that features the Klingons is pulled? (Including TNG/ DS9 but excluding ones where it is just Worf)

I read it as a comment on Chang being a subset of D&D fanboy who is obsessed with Drizzt Do’Urden. A deep cut, but a sharp one. 

The Community one seems odd as it’s not a white person using blackface to be a African American but Chang, played by Ken Jeong who is the child of South Korean immigrants being a pitch-black elf (a drow in D&D terms).

It’s such a sad day for man children everywhere who want to digitally cosplay as a character from a television show that ended 35 years ago. I know you won’t get to drive the General Lee anymore, but you’re just going to have to get over that shit. It’s two-thousand twenty. Grow up.

Which is certainly ironic given Simpsons was defending the continued presence of Apu just a year ago.

According to some, it’s the best Batman film:

Honestly... they should probably just end the show. Just have the season finale be the series finale.

I don’t personally have a problem with orcs being less intelligent, anymore than I would something implying neandertals, Klingons, or super mutants are less intelligent than humans but stronger.

Why? He’s not particularly dumb. He can play four instruments, got a 4.0 GPA in high school, and is bilingual.

ACAB is old. It’s been around since All Coppers are Bastards in the UK in the 1940s, but really found it its audience during the punk unrest of the mid-70s.
There is probably not an officer in uniform in the US who was not raised during the era of ACAB. There is not an officer who has not been treated poorly or…

Defunding the police isn’t firing all cops and then going “screw it, figure it out for yourselves.” Obviously there needs to be some institution that deals with violent crime, but the one we have now is both grossly incompetent and actively harmful to the communities it’s supposed to protect. But the institution that…

Great. They’re irredeemable.
Now what?
Well, we can fire them all and replace them. But since “cops are irredeemable” and no one wants to be nice to them, we’ll still eventually be stuck with a violent cult.

I quite like it.

Gotta save something for the DLC...

Despite everything, the show refuses to condemn policing as a whole. The system is bad and some cops are bad, it says, but the idea of policing can be redeemed if you just put the right people in charge. The good cops. Many other shows refuse to admit that the system is bad. They’re wrong, but at least they’re…

Good.

I now want a ‘90s style riot grrl band named “Lady Abolition”.
