HOLY SHIT
>>154604861did they finally find a VA to carry the weight?
>>154604870There's no dialouge or even animation in this clip. It's signed by Groening so it's not from an episode.
>>154604870They told Adi that America doesn't tolerate caste discrimination
Apu is not allwed at all, Carl and Hibbert have to be recast but Willie the most negative ethnic stereotype on the show is allowed with the same VAmake it make sense
>>154604910Importing of caste discrimination from India Service industry is considered lower caste and thus frowned upon in India
>>154604910is bumblebee man still around
>>154604957yeah, he's voiced by homer's mexican dub voice actor now
>>154604910scotland isn't a real country, fuck off
>>154604910You can't be racist against whites, chud
Did they realize that everyone absolutely hates India and it's not the fault of Apu? They just figured "Well shit, some working cartoon Hindu isn't going to hurt things"?
>>154604861It's too late, the damage has already been done. He's just going to be voiced by an Indian without the accent since the accent itself is apparently racist and was what got Adi pissed about Apu in the first place.
>>154605024The only way to get a concrete answer is if we asked the voice actors their thoughts on oppression of lower castes (Sudras and Dalits) in India, and that most of the Indians in Hollywood are high castes that brought over this oppressive culture
>>154604861>-shits- >"somehow apu is returning"
>>154605145i saw apu in the toilet the other day
>>154604910Scottish people like Willie.
>>154604861Apu'd myself the other day haha
>>154604971Eat your heart out, Spaniard dub.
>>154604861Today is free Slurpee day at 7-11 by the way
>>154605491https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jsel9qEV6fMit's actually really nice to see, i think this is one of the better recasts they did even if the voice is wildly different just for the sentiment of getting the dub VA to be in the original english version
>>154604861Makes sense they bring him backIndia Hate is on a all time high Due to India having major support for Israel, the h1b visa problems, the scammers, India usage of ai slop, and many more that not even woke progressives want to defend Indians anymore
>>154605606apu as the main stereotype would be a fucking improvement at this point
>>154604982Neither is African America
>>154605606One Kitbonga (or whatever his name is) video ruins India's whole reputation in minutes than the Simpsons ever did in 3 decades.Honestly, if they brought Apu back, it should be the most anticlimatic shit, just have him in the Kwik E Mart again like nothing happened.
>>154605501I completely forgot about that, thank you anon. I got a Dr. Pepper flavored one
My wife is Indian. She likes Apu.She thinks the reaction is from ABCDs who aren't as in touch with being Indian as an actual Indian is (she feels that way herself, sometimes, being from the Caribbean) but that actual Indians just find him funny.
>>154606070I tried to go after leaving the bar (Norway, my beloved ;_; ) and they refused to give them out for free..
>>154605349Indians liked Apu.
>>154606194So the problem is, one of them made a dumb doc about being upset over him and then a bunch of non-Indians got upset over his behalf and demanded him gone.
>>154604910It's a social double-standard we have. You're allowed to be racist against specific countries like Scotland or England or France. Not allowed to be racist against other countries because reasons.
>>154605614He was a (still-accurate) sterotype in the begining before the leftoids in the writer's room turned him into their fantasy brownoid who is better than Americans in all ways.-shallow, parroting manners-only cares about making money (not the same as hard-working)-brings his cousin over from India to work in the store instead of hiring some local teenagers-re-labels rotten food to sell it
>>154606233>weIt's gay race communists and it's because they hate white people.
>>154605024Apu was unironically a load bearing beam stereotype, before he got cancelled everyone knew indians as this hard working guys that just want to achieve the american dream and be just friendly people, worst case scenario someone will just call them apu and quote the thank you come again.After he got cancelled its like shit hit the fan and hard literally and non literally, they are know viewed as degenerate streetshitters who make a living scamming oldfarts and retarded kids.
>>154606448Apu is the key to all this
>>154604861>Now that the perception of Indians is based on overwhelming truth via mass immigration they desperately try to bring back Apu to convince people they're just convenience store workers who wont rape and shit on and scam youToo little too late.
>>154606448>they are know viewed as degenerate streetshitters who make a living scamming oldfarts and retarded kids.I live in Canada. Its 110% true.
>>154606448>>154606483Jokes aside I think it's just a coincidence. People are turning on Indians because a combination of seeing bad videos and linking them to scammers. I don't think Apu would've stopped that.
>>154606589Also greater contact in real life as they eagerly colonize anywhere they escape India too (and start turning it into anoter India).
>>154604861I'm guessing this was for 7/11 day?
>>154606589probably wouldnt have stopped it but definately it got more notable with his absence.
>>154609220>they bring apu back>homer tries to redeem a gift card at the kwik-e-mart>all of them are out of date.>DO NOT REEEDEEEEMthere now it's lovingly accurate.
>>154606194He makes upper-class Whites feel morally outraged.
>>154606571Indians do love a grift, a shockingly significant amount of AI usage is them.
>>154606060>>154606115It's sad that most Indian people liked Apu and yeah, it's a little bit of a product of its times, but he was a positive case of 'brownface' or whatever. Plus like most animated shows they don't have one character per person, are they going to hire an Indian VA to just do Apu, or introduce a whole bunch of Indian characters so he has something to do, or is it OK if he plays some whi- yellow characters.
>>154606216Even that one pointed out how actual indian immigrants didnt care, it was just the second generation kids that did.
>>154606448Apu wasn’t a hard worker! there are tons of gags that stem from him being a lazy or otherwise bad businessman.
>>154605349Limmy seethes about Willie.
>>154610946The guy also did 48 work hours in a row and no rest, by the end he thought he was a hummingbird, also he got in trouble later on with its wife because he would rather work all week and no rest instead of spending time with her.
>>154604971Which is fun to me.
>>154606448NO NO NO NO NO SARR PLEASE SARR POO IS GOOD FOR YOU
>>154604861Even if they brought him back, it's too late to rehabilitate jeets.
>>154606571>I live in Canada. Its 110% true.Everyone knows that and that knowledge was building even before Apu got deleted, but he used to be a standard bearer of a "racist but not really" caricature of a hard-working immigrant. Apu wouldn't have stopped people from waking up to smell the feces, but memes are powerful and he might've delayed it a little bit longer.The real big sucker punch was DO NOT REDEEM.
>>154606216Simpsons originally told the complainers to fuck off but then a felon overdosed while being arrested and everyone went insane so they had to kowtow.
They could just get Brian George. He's part Indian and has been on the show before.
>>154610946True, but this is a comedy and most of the characters are protrayed as being bad at their jobs at some point
>>154606571I feel you, I'm from Texas.
>>154604910Is Willie's VA already white? This isn't ancient times where Jews aren't white
The whole point of the Simpsons is that all the characters are stereotypes. If they wanted to get on with the times they should just stop with the show.
>>154604910Scots fucking love Willie. They won't touch him, or they'll become Scotland's enemy. Like Englishmen and Scots.
>>154613157Dan Castellaneta plays Willie, doesn't he?
>>154604861Why do those arms look off style?>>154606448This is very true. He was a lie, perfect for a fictional show.>soft accent>surface level ethnic jokes ("I'll tell everyone you were untouchable!" - to a woman he just shagged), easily ignored if you didn't get it, not funny if you're actually indian/offensively racist like all foreign jokes on the simpsons>had 8 children by accident, not because he's from scumland with high child mortality + zero women's privileges, an all-American couple had 9>worked with his older brother, like an American family business, instead of literally three generations of the same family uncomfortably supervising one another>fully compatible with (then-)woke Commiefornia, vegetarianism? Buddhism? Just ask the indian how it's done!>doesn't sell shitty ethnic food that kills you, instead sells shitty all-American hotdogs that kill youIf they swapped his skintone and gave him a funny American accent... NOTHING CHANGES. Except the writers can't say "I'm not a racist, one of my characters is an indian".>>154613157>respectable characters had to be recast with black VAs>you have a problem with the toothless, bald, drunk, aggressive, failure of a man, who's constantly the villain?>scottish people are white, why would you want his VA changed?I think anon has a different point that if you weren't insincere you'd understand. Like if someone pointed out jerkass Homer as compared to go-getter Marge, or Bart and Lisa, of which only one was convinced to commit suicide, mirroring real life problems you could say, or the Simpsons gene, or...
>>154613292I'm just saying, Willie is already white. There is a sea of white characters, he's not the sole representation of white people. He is NOT an ethnic minority
>>154613670There are about 4m Scots in Scotland.In a nation of nearly 70m. Of which 17.5m aren't even British islander.Now if you're about to say Irish people aren't an ethnic minority, and if they were all wiped out tomorrow, including descendants, and this only happened if I agreed with you on Scots, then I'd agree. I'd agree even if it meant ignoring that white people as a blob are not considered "Global majority", which would mean ethnic minority. Heck, throw in the Italians and Germans in the erasure and I'd not look back.Are you just gonna pretend to not understand what I'm talking about, like the rest of your kind always does?
>>154606070Yummy!
>>154604910Real talk, the Scots have just been the English's lapdogs for hundreds of years and so have the same standing as the English in terms of racial animus.
>>154613854Cope
>>154613202But you dont understand anon. Not everyone can be sterotyped equally, that's bigotted! I cant believe you'd voice such a problematic opinion that disagrees with me, you stinky chud!
>>154604861Doubt they will recast Apu, he's been relegated as a background character and won't come back. The best case scenario is just showing the characters coming out of the Kwik-E-Mart in certain scenes to show they still buy there.>>154604971>yeah, he's voiced by homer's mexican dub voice actor nowThat was just for one episode as a guest star, like when Joseph Gordon-Levitt played a younger version of Mr.Burns.
>>154606233Don't forget Italians, you can regularly just butcher the language, and just reduce it to stereotypical words and accents.
>>154604861Why did anyone give a shit about Apu being removed in the first place? It's not like the good seasons were affected.
>>154604910>negativeI don’t know how negative can he be when a running joke is how jacked and sexy he is underneath the gardening clothes.
