Whatever man. I'm done with your weird troll self after this. Sure, putting a stop the The Simpsons is a major issue.

Your rant was incoherent and referred to anti-censorship movements as "whiners." Among other things. I'm not even sure what your point was.

The only violence I'm contributing to is giving your sorry ass post a beatdown tonight.

They ascribe and purport huh? Maybe put down the thesaurus. Those words ... don't work that way. Maybe if all the books weren't currently on fire you'd know that.

Impressionable. So many young children do love The Simpsons these days.

If anything it should be censored for not being funny. It hasn't really held up well. Whining about expression? Trying to stop a directed campaign to remove all non-conformist thought from schools is hardly "whining."

If the TV network decides not to show those episodes IDGAF. That's the free market. Fortunately The Simpsons is not educational material so it's a relatively easy discussion.

We need to be better, huh. Is taking down episodes of a 30 year old cartoon the next frontier for American morality? Probably not.

Wants to be progressive by wiping old idealogy from the history books. Sounds like whitewashing to me.

If you can't look at old ideas without being critical of them, how will you deal with those ideas when they inevitably come back around again? Nazis didn't disappear, they still exist. Do we wipe their entire history because they killed thousands of Jews?

People need to learn that getting rid of history only serves to fuel the opressors that got into power because of ignorance of history in the first place.

Reply to What are some of the most notable examples of a show jumping the shark? by izukaneki

As soon as Michael left the Office, that was the end.

Carrell was such a linchpin for the show’s ensemble that the writers had literally no idea what to do to replace him. So they simply assassinated Andy and made him an incompetent idiot, despite his well-educated character being the total opposite. The show doesn’t recover in those last two seasons, though the finale wrap-up is pretty good.

Another one that comes to mind is Buffy dying in S5.

The beginning of S6 is about all the good that comes from it. Then everything nosedives, character personalities are completely decimated, plot lines make way less sense than they ever did, and the villains become so much less interesting. You don’t care because what are they gonna do, kill her again? The Potentials being terribly uninteresting in S7 is just the icing on the cake.
