@mrmattimation I dunno how far exactly I'd go to defend these sorts of jokes but pretty much every example I can think of is pretty obviously a subversive criticism *of* blackface. Obviously I am not the person who can/should decide if that makes it more okay, but I feel like removing these scenes is stifling discussions of anti-racism if anything. Like just put the disclaimer in front like WB and Disney or whatever

orungano Matt

@mrmattimation I would prefer it for future reference if POC actors got to voice POC characters, especially in the current industry where they aren't getting the same treatment or opportunities as white people; but I absolutely agree that this current wave of networks removing TV episodes with instances of racism and actors conveniently regretting voicing POC roles all of a sudden is largely posturing in the absence of actual willingness to, you know, hire and support and pay POC. I also don't think it's a particularly far reach to suggest that companies are just pretending this is what activists are asking for as some sort of psyop, since it will most likely push the needle back in their favour (i.e. still not hiring, supporting and paying POC)

@mrmattimation that's called being gay

@adiwan I got like 4 episodes into season 6 and gave up lmao, it is not the same show at all by that point

orungano adiwan

@adiwan Community season 2 is one of my fave seasons of anything ever so I'd definitely take it that far at least. The rest ranges from okay to pretty good for me if you pretend the show ended with season 5

@thismightbeauser dismantling systemic racism at its core by making a vague "black people deserve to not die" statement on twitter and then asking the patrons of my multi-million dollar company to donate money for me

@mrmattimation this is good praxis, thank you

orungano Scribus

@scribus I am wholly sympathetic towards people with those sorts of predispositions but at the same time we are at (arguably past) the point where people act like the Internet should be catered towards them and their sensibilities specifically and it's to the detriment of years of societal progress

@scribus and then I'll also be cancelled by proxy for having you in my following list

the venn diagram of mods throughout the site's history and the people who had to DM me to shut the papaya up is a circle

orungano awlxaĺan

@awl yeah, I liked it overall (and most of the themes in season 6 hit extremely close for me) but it's probably the weakest season since the first

orungano awlxaĺan

@awl honestly I was kinda hoping that he actually did die and the finale would be the rest of the characters' dealing with his death in a way that recognises everything he did without letting him off the hook so much. for a show that was so obsessed with loose ends and gradually tying them together, was definitely underwhelmed by the end

@mrmattimation would you have sex with the coronavirus to teach it about the depths of human love
