Cancel culture strikes again and kills Apu from ‘The Simpsons’ – where does this nonsense end?
Cancel culture has shown its ugly face once again, claiming another victim, this time one of the cartoon variety. Actor Hank Azaria has announced that he will no longer voice convenience store owner Apu of the ‘The Simpsons.’
Cancel culture has shown its ugly face once again, claiming another victim, this time one of the cartoon variety. Actor Hank Azaria has announced that he will no longer voice convenience store owner Apu of the ‘The Simpsons.’
Azaria announced the decision this week and said it was one made with the producers of the show. The seeming abandonment of the character follows accusations of racism in recent years, which hit a peak after the documentary ‘The Problem with Apu,’ which debuted in 2017. Critics argued Apu played into offensive stereotypes about South Asians — ignoring other stereotypes on the show. Also ignored was the fact Apu has become not ‘cartoonish,’ but a three dimensional, complex character playing a central part of the series since debuting in 1990.
Many fans of ‘The Simpsons’ have responded negatively to the news of Apu’s seeming cancellation. Even the filmmaker behind the ‘Problem with Apu’ documentary jokingly welcomed the “death threats” to come, and said he would like to see the character continue.
‘The Simpsons’ had previously responded to accusations of racism by poking fun at the controversy in its show — which earned them plenty of criticism — but it appears they have caved to online pressure. Could it have anything to do with Fox being bought out by the always play-it-safe Disney?
There is a growing problem among people who let trending social issues and always-changing “woke” standards take up too much real estate in their heads, and that is a deep misunderstanding about the way art works. Context and nuance are becoming irrelevant to critics, who are simply hungry for anything to be angry about.
Luckily, Azaria voices a variety of characters on ‘The Simpsons,’ and won’t be going anywhere, but what if Apu was his sole voice work on the series? Be gone with you, sir! This is cancel culture, and we have no time for such trivial details!
It really doesn’t take much these days to anger social justice warriors surfing the internet for any small out of context detail to be triggered by — they have basically replaced the cancel culture once promoted by the far-right Christians, who found just about everything offensive.

If cancel culture can only get one character of a played-out show cancelled then it isn’t very powerful. That’s like trying to kill someone on life-support and somehow only managing to take out single finger.

Honestly, the whole show needs to be put out of its misery. It's not funny, it's not clever, it's a shell of its former self. Have a Series finale (preferably a movie) and let the show end with what little dignity it has.

tbf, Apu is a problematic character. A guy that legally gets USA citizenship through hard work and is constributing to society? That's pure alt-right material.

Blame that whiny faggot Hari Kondabolu.
That's a guy who has made a few cold calls in his life posing as "Microsoft Headquarters."
Maybe they're hoping they'll find the right combination of new writers that makes the show becomes funny again after multiple decades of pity laughs

The funniest thing about this is Hari not wanting Apu removed despite making a big stink about the character.

I thought this happened months ago.
Oh well the dead gay show should have gone off the air 20 years ago.

Just end the show. It's beyond running its course.
It can't even have a dignified death at this point, but just put it out of its misery.

I'm willing to bet a large percentage of their viewers are nursing home residents who don't know enough to change the channel.

I want Apu and Roger Jr. in the next Tekken. Why? Because really I'm late to the party to find out that Roger Jr. was removed from Tekken 7 to appease activists and my mind is connecting two.
Seriously, though. Tell me it wouldn't be awesome.

APU overstayed his student visa and was an illegal immigrant until some scheme of Homers.
