        If people can't enjoy cartoons at the most basic level they can go fuck themselves. People need to not be so got damn sensitive. Learn to love and laugh and stop complaining at everything

        Good for you man. I m glad that you are just attacking my character rather then the issue. What is that called ? Ad hominem 👍

        One must first HAVE character, in order for it to be “attacked.”

        That most of the character’s comedy derives from being a huge negative stereotype, or is that too hard to get

        Yeah, I'll never forget their casting of a white guy as working in a power plant, or the black guy as a doctor, or the guy with a Boston accent as the Mayor... Unforgivable, so stereotypical

        Yeahh, coz all that stuff automatically discounts the racist depiction of Apu... (Its hilarious how you insensitive clods act like you think you just invented sarcasm.🤣)

        Apropos of nothing. It was wrong when Biden did it too. But ooohh please, regale us more with your oh so biting sardonic posts! (I’ll wait while you google, “sardonic,” 🤣🤣).

        No, Matt Groening. When you know better, do better. You know better now. So stop.

        IMO Apu is a much more positively fleshed out character (and less stereotypical) than Raj on The Big Bang Theory
