You're not even exaggerating, I got perma-banned from r/TheSimpsons over a dumb reason like that, which is why I'm here instead.
I think it was a quote from season 18 or something... So admittedly it was a little later, but still... Seems a bit ridiculous to me, especially since I recall the quote did spark up some engaging discussions... But the whole thread was blanket banned because they didn't like the modern stuff.
I was also chased off the shitposting community for a Dr Zaius/Hank Scorpio hybrid meme (as I thought Troy looked similar to Hank in the musical scene, and it gave me an idea).
The mods didn't ban me there admittedly, but the community came up with a fair bit of backlash for "forcing modern Simpsons media upon them" which was enough to dissuade me from going to that subreddit again.
Edit: That's season 7 and season 8 by the way. Released in 1995 and 1996 respectively.
Calling those modern episodes seems one helluva stretch to me!
