| Topic | 'Simpsons' Creator On Apu Debate: 'People Love To Pretend They're Offended' |
| Darmik 05/01/18 2:04:36 AM #83: | This whole story does summarize the internet yes but not in that way. This guy made a detailed documentary that explained how him and other Indians were impacted by Apu growing up and in their careers. As a response a bunch of people have strawmanned him as some fragile maniac without even bothering to watch the trailer of the documentary. Never mind the documentary itself. Matt Groening is apparently another one who has assumed this. The funny thing is that The Simpsons basically had an episode with a similar premise. Lisa Simpson worrying about Malibu Stacey's impact on women. They've basically grown to be the out of touch executives they were lampooning in that episode. --- Kind Regards, Darmik ...
