Cartoon black face?


I recently watched an old early episode of American Dad and in one scene the family went to a party full of Black People, dressed up in black face because Stan misread their invitation and preceded to get their asses kicked by the people in the party.

Theres also a Halloween episode in Venture Brothers where the two headed guild member goes in black face.

So, you guys think this is a problem? Is this as big an issue as the VA thing?

Venture Bros should be purged regardless. It's just a bad show. /s

Nah I don't give a shit about some dumbass movie that came out like 70 years ago.

The difference between you and me is that I don't get offended by things for no reason.

Yes 100% anyone getting mad about a video game is a crybaby bitch.

If you don't like a movie/TV Show/video game then just dont watch/play it!! No one cares if you don't like something, like seriously your opinion means nothing lol

I don't understand why black face is racist. Does that mean I can't be any black character for Halloween? I still could but people would complain about black face...but it's part of my...Mace Windu costume. It's not like I'm sitting here making light of slavery, I'm just Mace Windu.

If it's lampshading or making fun of the (mis) use of blackface then it's fine. This is kind of across the board, animated or not.

Actual offensive(ly intentioned) blackface doesn't happen anymore (in mass media).

If it's old cartoons like Tom & Jerry where they got black oil on their face and started singing Mammy, then yes, remove them (which they actually did censor them decades ago).

If it's something like this where it's making fun of people who do blackface instead of actually doing it unironically, it's not inherintly the same.

That's what people in the 60s probably said about their cartoons. "It's not offensive. It's a caricature."
