Yep, that is exactly what you said. And I don’t think I have to pretend in this instance.

Nothing about Hari’s documentary and views on Apu fall under the liberal outrage banner like you’re trying to present here. He’s not calling for a boycott or demanding removal or anything, he’s just talking about his personal experience growing up with his favorite show and the problems he sees with it. Which tells me…
Amen! Now, let’s go watch some white guys express their creativity while doing blackface.
So you want them to stand up and defend their racist caricature?
You might want to try this schtick out when the Simpsons writer’s room definitely could have used some sort of cultural change at the beginning: http://www.vulture.com/2017/08/mimi-pond-says-the-simpsons-wanted-an-all-male-writing-room.html
Or maybe a character that is 30 years old needs to adapt to the world changing around it.
Are people not even allowed to talk about stuff that’s problematic or racist without sarcastic responses like this? Hari’s not shitting on the show, he’s addressing the topic as a lifelong fan, but the response to him has been this exaggerated “AH SO I GUESS WE SHOULD JUST BAN EVERYTHING?!” nonsense.
Didn’t watch the documentary did you?

Let’s be clear here: this isn’t a toy. It’s a horrifying golem.
Where we always did: the Daily Mail, the Daily Express and The Sun.
I’d love to discuss this show more, but I feel like it’s dropping the ball and not tying up storylines as satisfactorily as they were introduced to the narrative.
