Yeah, this whole "unperson the problematic" movement is getting kind of like one of the more horror-y Bradbury stories.

@scribus Did you ever expect an ideology based on childish emotion and glorifying mental illness to go any other way?

@nerthos I am sorry, what are you two talking about?

@drinkingpony Broad strokes: the general atmosphere of the internet and this outrage culture we're going through. Specific instigator: The Simpsons pulling a Stalin on the Michael Jackson guest star episode and deleting it entirely from the catalog as though it had never happened. You know, exactly like Warner Bros DIDN'T DO about their WWII propaganda shorts.

@scribus " the general atmosphere of the internet and this outrage culture we're going through"
Oh, yeah, Outrage culture. Also known as the "Age of Apathy" for some. I know nothing of The Simpsons so I guess it is/was a recent episode.
But I guess most people have forgotten about it now since Notch ( the Minecraft dude ) done did something.Monday, 11-Mar-19 20:44:22 UTC from web-
@drinkingpony @scribus It's not really about whether it was a good episode or not, it's about revisionism and a fascist mindset without any of the good parts of fascism, where anything that is deemed not kosher is censored and removed from public records.
It was an old episode that was relevant for the time it came out, but the kind of individual that complains about things being "problematic" has no sense of nuance, historical significance, context, or anything like that. Some would see anything that doesn't match the current discourse removed entirely.Friday, 15-Mar-19 01:11:24 UTC from web
