Topic	The Simpsons is getting rid of Apu
Darmik 10/28/18 11:03:33 PM #131:	MARKINGRAM22 posted... How about we dont recast an iconic voice actor, btw Apu has one of the more interesting character arcs and you think they write him the same way? The entire series is a parody of all cultures. This is absurd and biased? Why only complain about Apu when every character is a ridiculous parody. It is an adult cartoon...lets just fucking cancel comedy it would be better than recasting Apu to be played by an Indian so they could educate fucking Simpsons fans about Indian culture. I've explained to a few posts above what makes Apu unique compared to other stereotypes. I never said anything about recasting his voice actor in 2018 either. When speaking about today I think tackling it with some Indian comedians or comedy writers would have been a much smarter move but The Simpsons writing room is too much of a clique these days to do something like that. --- Kind Regards, Darmik <cite>Darmik posted [p:911359254] in The Simpso...
