https://www.nme.com/news/tv/simpsons-confirm-apu-leave-2394238

Absolutely shameful to see a once classic show succumb to SJW pressure. Apu was one of the few characters on the show who was intelligent and successful but apparently a few stereotypes were too much for one D-list comedian and SJWs who don't even watch the show to handle. This controversy is absolutely pathetic, and I hate to become one of those annoying voice but the Simpsons absolutely needs to end. It's no longer even a blib of a fraction to the quality it once was and it would have lampooned the show it has become in its prime. Also they should release every episode that contained Apu in it for free, since it would be racist for them to profit off the offensive stereotypes of a minority since that's the statement they're making by axing out the character.

If they removed every character in the show that was a stereotype they'd be left with Principal Skinner and Lenny.

Is it illegal to harm SJW's? I don't think it should be. I don't care if Simps isn't as good as it used to be, it's still watchable compared to what else is out there and these people need a golf club stuffed up their ass. Twice.

This is dumb. It's just a stupid joke. And he's been a character for like forever. Just leave him in. But whatever. I guess SJWs won't be happy until they've destroyed everything. IDK...

Hopefully the show declines in viewership so much to the point where it becomes cancelled.

Pretty much this. I prefer to turn their own arguments against them though.

"The Simpsons is getting rid of their only Indian representation. Racists! Clearly, they hate people of Indian decent. Boycott!"

And then we all boycott the show instead of just not watching.

I've read he hasn't had more than a few lines in like at least three seasons so I'm not really bothered. Show has been awful for a lot longer than most people want to admit. Apu leaving the show likely won't change anything anyway.

What? Are you saying a white guy who was born and raised in India would be racist for having an accent?

It was practically verbatim. They didn't even attempt to justify their reasons, and it ends with the guy ensuring us that he's not just a PC social justice warrior. Amazing stuff.

I agree; it's definitely run it's course, won all the awards, created milestones,....it's time for Simpsons to stop.

But I wish for the show to end gracefully, and not be riddled with SJW cancerous tumors.....

Don't be ridiculous Nade.

All they're saying is that you can't have Indian stereotypes on television. Or be a Native American for Halloween. Or have dreadlocks. Or celebrate Columbus Day. Or have statues from the Civil War.

This isn't a slippery slope.

I lost all passion for the show years ago; I didn't hate it, but I stopped actively watching it. Even when they took a dump on the show's history by rewriting canon I took it in stride.

But with this it's clear the show is a completely different beast now. I actually want it to die.

I haven't watched the Simpsons in about 10 years now, but given that these long running animated shows stop using their insular characters I would be very surprised if he's been in the show within the last five years as more than a background character.

I don't really care this only hurts people who want diversity in their shows.
