Basically, yeah.
People are stupid.
>>
>>155971882
The reason was that Hollywood decided white people shouldn't voice characters of color and fake accents.
Even though accents are just part of acting, and regular actors do it all the time.

Looking back wish he was killed off instead because he's seriously unlikable. His worst offense is knowing Marge made a mistake and knows she's a Simpsons his best customer and yet.....threw her in prison. Homer not killing this bastard will always anger me. The episode where Homer was supporting deporting Apu should have have had him say "I support you get deported because of you getting my wife arrested." Homer may be stupid but true to his name he's a simp for Marge and Apu crossed her that's the one thing Homer for as dumb as he is would never excuse.

Reminder that documentary wasn't the reason why Apu left. He was already banned a couple of years before but nobody noticed it because nobody watch nu-Simpsons

It only applies to white people anon, don't be silly.
>>
>>155972081
Heh
>>
>>155972131
Was he actually banned or did they just get bored of using him? I know he last spoke in the Medieval Simpsons or something, but I don't think it was a conscious decision from them thinking "erm, Apu is problematic you guys."

why was dr nick's voice changed?

>>155971882
How often did he really appear even before that. I'd say he was one of the more notable tertiary characters but he wasn't as vital or useful as say Wiggum.
>>
>>155973072
Apparently Dr. Nick was gone for eight whole seasons as well and nobody even noticed because nobody watches the show at all?

>>155973094
Someone must’ve thought he was racist too. I have no idea who against. The character has some kind of accent, I guess, but it never seemed identifiable as anything to me.
>>
>>155973209
Dr. Nick was obviously meant to be Latino. It's a hispanic surname. I always liked his voice though.
>>
>>155973209
People definitely noticed, Dr. Nick was never as popular as Apu though.
>>
>>155972472
The fuck? Apu's disappearance is a direct consequence of some fat hindu making a documentary that allowed people to bully not just him but his entire ethnicity.

In Apu's defense, Marge got to have a month off from a stressful environment where she was exploited and taken for granted.

I think it's funny that Apu was a load bearing stereotype.

It's actually quite amazing how badly their attempts to be inclusive ended up making the world a more hateful place.

>>
>>155971882
The new voice sounds almost the same as Hank Azaria's impression.
Its fucking stupid that changed EVERY non-white person's voice to a real non-white person.
But even then, they didn't find some prolific voice, it took them 9 years to find the same voice. All the other characters they replaced in a week, they could have grabbed the nearest "Indian-American" with a slight accent, and through him in the recording booth instead of banishing the character.

Also think about this.
Family Guy has more integrity to stick to their guns and not ban characters and replace their voice actors by kneeling to the vocal minority over them being offended.
They still haven't replaced Cleveland or Trisha Takanawa, and they hired non-white people to voice the non-white characters before they premiered.

Uhhh.... yeah they did. Mike Henry did the whole "POC should voice POC" in 2020. They just got a black guy to imitate the white guy doing the black voice.

Which I guess is more than the Simpsons did for characters like Carl or Dr. Hibbert, etc who sound nothing like they did when they were voiced by the bad white people.

Riviera is just a stupid name for a quack doctor. Something a plastic surgeon would give himself to sound exotic. It's not literally Spanish.

In the last 10 years, society, specially American society has pussified so much to the point that we are scared to even talk to women because we might get recorded. If we mislabel someone's identity, we are shitty people who get canceled. Do you remember what happened to Jeffree Star? Shane Dawson? or anyone else on youtube? So many people either had to rebrand, make an apology video or step down from whatever reason and now we are left with the woke mob.

The issue is that we let Gen Z and Alpha run the show now. We let them walk all over us millennials and Gen X'ers. "No! you have to respect me as an individual!" EARN IT BITCH. If I tried to demand respect as a kid, a teenager, younger adult in my 20s (now 30s), I would have been laughed at and told to "sit the fuck down faggot and earn your place."

If you even BREATH wrong you're a piece of shit. We have lost everything. I'm surprised that Helluva Boss and South Park are still going.

Remember Pink Guy? Holy shit, this society wouldn't be able to handle him today.

You know the ironic part about it is? Blacks want segregation again after fighting for it. Every black neighborhood I hear about has SO MUCH violence for no reason. Some of my favorite videos are of black people moving to white neighborhoods and going, "god damn it's quiet out here. BLACK people dont want smoke, niggers do.
>>
>>155978079
There was a story a while back about a predominantly black neighborhood fighting against a Trader Joe's being built. Didn't care about getting jobs or good food, nope, they just didn't want any whites or gentrification.

https://www.yahoo.com/news/trader-joe-39-drops-black-neighborhood-store-plan-224732374.html

>Critics said the development would displace residents and perpetuate income inequality in one of the most rapidly gentrifying ZIP codes in the nation.

>The Portland African American Leadership Forum said the development commission had in the past made promises about preventing projects from displacing community members but hadn't fulfilled them.

>It sent the city a letter saying it would "remain opposed to any development in N/NE Portland that does not primarily benefit the Black community." It said the grocery-store development would "increase the desirability of the neighborhood," for "non-oppressed populations."
>>
>>155977818
>They still haven't replaced Cleveland
The fact you didn't know he's been replaced proves why Cleveland is the gold standard of these recastings. They found a black guy who could do the voice, instead of just getting a voice that was black like Simpsons did. Most of their black characters, the Simpsons just use the one black guy they already had on their payroll.

Hibbert is easily the worst offender. Kevin Michael Richardson is a great VA with a distinct voice that works perfectly for a few different character types. His Dr. Hibbert fucking SUCKS. Terrible casting.
>>155977986
Lopez also voices Bumblebee Man, and the choice is also terrible. Legitimately, his Nick sounds better than his Bumblebee Man, and his Nick sounded like an eleven year old doing their Dr. Nick impression.

All in all, it sounds like the jeet they got for Apu is *trying* to imitate Azaria but can't quite pull it off. He's even doing the jeet sing-song voice that they do. He's bad, but at least there's effort to sound close.
>>
My schizotheory is that they're using a lot of the POC recasting stuff to begin replacing all the legacy VAs to keep the show going. I think Pamela Hayden's retirement is something of a wake up call.
Have they cast all her characters yet?

>>
>>155971882
the question is why he vanished from the show when other characters simply got recast. i think it boils down to the fact that the other characters weren’t really stereotypes. black coworker, black doctor, etc. you’d have to be disingenuous to call bumblebee man a flat out mexican stereotype as opposed to, like, a clear chapulin colorado parody or just mexican tv parody. otoh, apu is clearly an indian stereotype: thank you come again convenience store clerk with funny accent. i imagine why that’s why they were hesitant to merely recast him.
but it leads to the question of whether they will do something new with him. if his being a stereotype was the problem, will they change him? the special implied he would go back to doing what he’d been doing, but why wait 9 years if only the voice (read: voice actor) was the problem? what would they change?

The ending of the episode was still pretty good of Homer inviting Apu to his Halloween party. Homer was a very good friend to Apu in Simpsons history. It's a good moral lesson for the show about valuing friendships, and it's never too late to rekindle an old friendship.

I don't really see good moral lessons like this in zombie-Simpsons. So it's nice to have an episode that teaches good morality again.

Yes! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Statue_of_George_Floyd
>Weighing 700 pounds (320 kg), the statue is of Floyd sitting relaxed on a bench. Watts said of the statue that "The world needed a peaceful George".

Every city needs a monument to a criminal drug dealer....er I mean "Saint" who got a gold casket and a nationally televised funeral.

I mean I haven't been watching the Simpsons for over 15 years. But yeah the only reason was due to cry baby rich kids who make everything about themselves.

That said, can I voice Tricia? I'm a quarter Asian and was raised partially by my a 100% Japanese aunt.

The fact that both of his statues were vandalized immediately, more than once, and at least once each with blackface, should have taught whoever commissioned it and approved its public placement, that they made a wrong move. But I'm guessing it was taken as a "No, the kids are wrong" moment.

There was a video I saw previously, boy was white but if you heard his voice he had a deep nigga voice. Even the black guy that was reviewing the video was like, "I didn't even notice the shade of his hand, that was a black man's voice" the white guy even said "nigga" in the video and the black guy just laughed it off.

>>155986115
Ya know, first I thought he was a "didndunuffin wrong" and the worst thing he had was counterfeit bills but then I read he had a lot more charges on him. I don't think the man should have died, gone to jail? Prison? Sure ok. But killing him was insane to me. He literally posed no threat to the cops. The dude was a fatass, how far you think he's gettin?

I find it fucking funny that they only now decide to bring him back now that jeet fatigue is at it's height and those shit eaters desperately need some sort of positive representation.

The best one was the mural painted on the side of some bar, that got fucking struck by lightening and destroyed in what can be assumed divine intervention.

>I don't think the man should have died
Sure he shouldn't. Everyone deserves due process.
But he was no loss to the world, same as if the average person was killed, though the average person would need to be killed by the cop rather than drugs giving him a heart condition. Even the average anon isn't an addict.

Maybe there's a more grown up solution to racism that would have a lot fewer deaths, perhaps even none across racial lines. But no-one will do it. And it won't reduce black-on-black violence.
>>
So why is he back exactly? Did it really take them about a decade or something to find a suitable Indian actor? Did they realize the controversy and documentary was full of shit? Did they figure that with recent events with Apu's absence that Indians are hated for much more and figured that bringing him back with an Indian VA wouldn't hurt in the grand scheme of things?
>>
>>155978079
They never actually wanted integration; they just wanted access to white people('s money). Justice and brotherhood were just avertisting slogans.
>>
>>155986577
Probably just trying to bait headlines and leftoid brownie points for "correcting" the "mistake"

>make a whole documentary about how the character is deeply offensive on every level, bringing up everything from his accent, to his catchphrase, to the fact that he works in a convenience store
>The Simpsons goes dark for nine years
>brings back the character, exactly the same, only now a person who isn't white is doing the silly accent
So, basically everyone agrees the guy was a histrionic faggot and was wrong about everything, right?
Apu is literally not fucking offensive.
>>
>>155987361
Without Apu, everyone started hating Indians for actual legit reasons, a cartoon didn't tell people that India is a dirty country and the people actually dirtier and rude as fuck, reality showed that.
>>
>>155971882
I never once thought about anything racist on Apu, if these faggots cared then they would have just axed the character for a regular white guy since not all indians work at a 7-11 or gas station type establishment

It took me nine yeareals to collect the cereals.

>>155987446

Apu originally enbodied (accurate) sterotypes; he was a superifically obseqious scammer who sold rotten food and only hires family out of India.
>>
>>155987685
You say that as if the other characters in the show are saints, either way, you took my post ( >>155987446 ) out of context.
Apu wasn't a call center fucker or someone who stole your job or shat in the street. Meanwhile actual Indians do that in reality, and a bunch of writers in California can't simply write that out of existence like they could with Apu.

The problem is, he was not really murdered. he had a heart attack while under restraint. Per coroner, he had a lethal mix of fent and meth in his system, along with his health issues (asthma, covid, 2 types of major heart disease). If you saw the full video, it puts alot of things in context for you. The cops were actually very chill, but floyd was a fucking retard who threw himself on the ground.
But facts do not matter, only the video of a drugged up criminal crying for his mom made the news.

>>155971882
The new Va's are awful. Apu and Dr Nick sound terrible. At this point, they should just use AI to make the voices match.

>>155972448
Agreed. Ironically, Dr Hibernate voice was pretty iconic, especially since he had some great 1 liners.
>>
>>155971882
There was a reason, it was just a shit reason. Some jeet got bullied in school, like 90% of other kids, but because he was indian, that made it a hatecrime to him and someone had to pay.

oh ok, I don't know much about Georgie Floyd other than what I saw on twitter and facebook. Never cared too much for the monkey circus going on with all of it.

>>155985437
dont they have any other pictures of floyd out there, why is he always making that expression
>>
>>155983139
You're right, it was genius.

>>155983622
The voice actor himself stepped down from the role, it's not exactly like they had a choice in the matter

thanks for confirming your mental retardation

guys guys
we are on 4chan
we are all retarded
some more retarded than others :^)

I like how the every part of VA industry has adopted this mindset except Anime dubbing companies. Asians are always getting fucked over.

then you're the most retarded.

>>155990360
Most Japanese people who speak english good aren't VAs (because why would you, when you could do so many other careers? They know better than to deal with a dead end thankless job that only manchildren give a shit about like VAs), so they go with white people, black people, and occasional "Asian but not Japanese" person.
>>
>>155986577
>Did it really take them about a decade or something to find a suitable Indian actor?
Probably not. They were likely just killing time waiting for the controversy to "die out". Notice how they did it long past the point anybody stopped giving a shit. But yeah nine years is too long.
>>
Funny how this didn't really cause the reaction they were hoping for
Killing off Larry caused more interest lol
>>
>>155990793
Basically wokies are insane and anything the show would have done wouldn't have been enough. Doing anything with Apu in the midst of the controversy would have only fanned the flames further. Just waiting till everyone had forgotten about it was a sensible decision
>>
>>155971882
Cletus is a far worse stereotype for his race and yet I don't see any documentaries being made or his voice actor getting swapped for a more politically correct one. The fact that Indian hate has tripled what it might've been back when this controversy was still fresh doesn't help.

>>155972248
That is basically the plot of the episode. Apu gets killed by literally everyone in Springfield on Halloween night, his body washing up on a island, eventually making a raft to get back only to find the kwik-e mart closed down, his family gone, and everyone in Springfield not even acknowledging him.

Yeah, I can’t believe the show is still ongoing to this day, despite nobody watching that crap—or at least, anyone who would watch that crap.

I still watch it anon. I sometimes enjoy it.
