[Hank Azaria, The Simpsons]

[greghousesgf]

I was pretty grossed out by the ep where he was screwing another woman and his wife was made to look like a bitch for being mad at him and Marge tried to make them get back together by insulting Hinduism. It was about then that I decided to quit watching the Simpsons.

[(Anonymous)]

Manjula was played as completely justified though.

[(Anonymous)]

Whatever, there is no winning the celebrity sport-hating game.

[(Anonymous)]

Exactly. We should just all stop calling out famous people who do crappy things.

[(Anonymous)]

Do whatever you like.

[(Anonymous)]

What are you looking for here?

[(Anonymous)]

Well, for one thing, I'm trying to figure out how voicing a character from a script makes someone racist....

[morieris]

Basically.

[(Anonymous)]

Hank Azaria has always been a very shitty person both professionally and privately. He has talked shit about The Simpsons even back when it was in it's prime. Just not when fans were around to hear him. He acts like he is above the rest of the cast and show but without that show he would never have had 90% of the opportunities that he has enjoyed. Guy is NOT that talented. Screw him.

[(Anonymous)]

He started doing it 30 years ago, and you do have to cut some slack for the way that the times change, and also, he still has to work in that building with a ton of people who are, apparently, aggressively opposed to the idea of changing the character.

[(Anonymous)]

I still don't get how Apu is "racist". In the old days he was sort of an Indian stereotype but now he's far more a "put-upon working man" stereotype and their go-to when they want to have their "everyman" do things that Homer wouldn't do.

He's always been one of the smarter characters and fits with the cast being stock. There's nothing offensive about him.

[(Anonymous)]

Don't you know if you can't find offense at something you need to make something up? In the beginning he was a huge stereotype but now the character has developed into a regular 2D person. But that isn't good enough for the Social Justice Police. They watched one episode from back in 1993 and are TRIGGERED!!1!1!?1!1!

Now you try to bring up the problems with how women and girls are drawn like sexualized children in lots of mainstream Japanese anime they will whip their heads around like Linda Blair from the "Exorcist" and HDU criticize another culture you aren't a part of...blah...blah...blah...blah...

(My attempt at a conversation about over sexualization of women and child in anime did happen and is not an exaggeration. They scared me with how quick they were to justify it.)

[(Anonymous)]

WON'T SOMEBODY PLEASE THINK OF THE FICTIONAL CHILDREN?!

[(Anonymous)]

All my fandoms are anime and I've never in all my years seen a ~sjw~ defend sexualization of girls in anime. The people you'd call sjw's are always the first people to make those critiques in the first place. The "concern" about different cultures!!!!!1111111!!!! comes completely from fanboys (sometimes fangirls too) who are butthurt that someone has a problem with their waifus.

Then again, I also question the motives of the "sjw's" who criticize anime while ignoring when the same problems happen in media from their home countries.....

[(Anonymous)]

the entirety of this comment is so intensely cringe I wonder if you've ever talked to another human being in your life

[(Anonymous)]

I'm not sure people are objecting to the character's job or role in the show, per se, but rather the accent itself. I mean. Would you go up to a person of Indian or Pakistani descent and start talking like that? I sure as hell wouldn't.

[maximumhusky]

Watched the Azaria interview on youtube a while back. He said that he felt bad for all the people who have been treated like racist stock characters and who have been harmed because of people getting the bright idea to start making fun of IRL people because of Apu's schtick being mainstream.

I'm not South Asian or Indian, but I can get that a character who's major humor contribution is essentially "lol Indian people breed too much and are backwards" isn't that great.

[(Anonymous)]

So like... what about all of the other white people who voice POC?

[(Anonymous)]

I don't know, but all of a sudden I feel like digging up that asshole, Mel Blanc!

[(Anonymous)]

Are they doing it in a way that resembles a racist stock character

[rivia]

frankly, yeah, it'd be nice if there was a change in that direction.

[(Anonymous)]

"Other"? Isn't he Arabic?

[(Anonymous)]

Leave Funimation alone! I need my anime dubs. :(

[(Anonymous)]

What's wrong with people voicing characters not of their own race..? Are voices inherently [race] sounding? Isn't that thinking kind of racist?

There are non-white voice actors who voice white characters too.
