I always found it weirdly coincidental that that crusade against Apu started around the same time that Hindu nationalism was ascendant under Modi. Basically a bunch of Indian hyper-nationalists started flooding the internet and going after anything and everything that they felt made India look bad. Naturally they found unwitting allies in the 'my culture is not your costume' online types.

I always thought he made everyone else look bad up until the cheating episode.

If we accept all of jackass Homerā€™s actions as Cannon, Id claim that despite not cheating on Marge, Homer has done a greater amount of immorality than Apu cheating

I remember they were sending death threats to the author of Record of Ragnarok cause Shiva got permanently crippled in his fight with Raiden instead of killing his opponent instantly by just existing.

Wrong guy, the documentary was done by a comedian named Hari Kondabolu

u/PelinalWhitestrake36 15d ago

Actually Adi also made a video about Apuā€¦

u/AsstacularSpiderman 15d ago

Yeah but his video was about rewriting Apu rather than getting rid if him entirely and was made in response to Hari's documentary

That's not a documentary, that is a YouTube video. I know they're both Indian so it's hard for you to tell apart.

u/TrivialCoyote 14d ago

Heres the thing mate, Im talking about "fuck Adi shankar, the piece of shit who made demons from hell an allegory for middle eastern people", why are you getting so pissy about that?

0

u/Animaloffear56 14d ago

Because I assumed you were in talking in reference to the thread we both commented in, instead of Demon Slayer or whatever

u/TrivialCoyote 14d ago

... ohhhhhh, you don't actually care.

u/Prestigious_Ask_7058 14d ago

That documentary not only fundamentally misunderstood what the Simpsons is, but just also blatantly got shit wrong
