If not for the overtly racist greys IContainMultitudes wouldn’t have anyone here to intellectually best on occasion.

Facts matter. A white guy voicing a black cartoon character is not objectively harmful by any stretch of the imagination.

You can’t excuse your hypocrisy so you just call me dumb. Typical.

It feels like pieces like this are the result of the author processing, very publicly, the fact that a show she felt it was very important to defend didn’t turn out to be very good.  

If it’s wrong for white men to voice indian men, then clearly the same logic should be applied to any instance of black men voicing a white man.

So white men cant voice indian men but women can voice young boys?

While they can speak to similar issues of representation, I’m not sure Azaria voicing Apu (and the question of whether voice actors need to match, loosely or precisely, the ethnicity or background of their characters) actually relates much to changing the backgrounds or traits of a live action character (you could be…

Thanks! Didn’t know this was streaming.

It’s almost like some people find certain things funny, while others don’t.

The only one I’ve seen much off is Louis CK. I like some of his stuff. Most, if not all comics I like aren’t consistently funny. It’s the nature of the game.

Well, Han Solo is not just a smuggler. He’s one of the heroes of Yavin 4 and somewhere between the end of A New Hope and the opening of Empire, he is granted the rank of captain in the Rebellion. The fact that he’s made a general in Jedi is, sure a bit of a plot hole, but it’s not an inconsistency in his character.…

I guess I made you so angry that you accidentally double posted? Chill, it’s just a (bad) movie.

At least in boxing, those trying to knock their opponents unconscious are roughly the same size.

Eh, idk man. The same violent mentality is present - my younger cousin played four years of “varsity” football for his tiny Class D (The smallest class, in Maine!) football team, and going to virtually every game and many practices, the sport just shouldn’t exist. Every season involved no less than half a dozen…

In football, you win by giving EVERYONE a series of very small brain injuries for a very long time, and only occasionally a traumatic one.

Really that was just a florid way of saying “they never criticize the black guy but it’s open season on me because I’m white.”

It was, yes. Not denying that. But there’s an emphasis on ‘was’ there. Why people can’t grow and change? I saw him say that on something recorded over the last few months. What you’re referring to was decades ago. Why isn’t he allowed to say something now that defies what he said in the past? That’s not wrong or…

You are not funny or offensive, at least not in the way you would like. You are using your fake outrage as an opportunity to attack others, which shows your small-mindedness and lack of self awareness.

I don't need to read the comments to know that we're all in agreement that this thirsty young lady is asking for it.

Honestly, if both companies cannot figure out how to pay their employees minimum wage and survive, then I guess it turns out that they were just shitty businesses running an illegal taxi service on VC money. They were doomed to failure anyway and ending their misclassification of their workers just hastened their…
