Triggered: Stories to make you mad.

I think it makes sense in some instances, e.g. Hank Azaria‎ voicing Apu Nahasapeemapetilon, but not others, e.g. Mike Henry voicing Cleveland Brown. The difference is that Azaria is portraying a racial stereotype. In which case, it is the portrayal, not the actor, that is problematic. If Azaria portrayed Nahasapeemapetilon in a non-stereotypical way, I think he could continue to voice the character. I think for actors like Henry, it is easier to no longer perform the role than to have to defend doing so for perpetuity. Because even though his portrayal is not problematic, there will always be someone who is perpetually offended, and it is not worth the effort for a character who is rarely featured anymore.

And Phil Lamar one of the best voice actors out there who happens to be black was the voice of Samurai Jack. An Asian stereotype.

Like I said, the left has once more draw a line in the sand, and it’s gonna back and bite them in the ass real hard.

🤫 be quiet you, you want everyone to know did secret?!

But why can't a Hispanic guy voice an Indian guy if it's okay for an elderly woman to voice a 10 yr. old boy...

This case is absurdly stupid, crazy, etc.

So this guy murders a lady and another dude. He was 16 when he murdered them.

He goes to prison. Has to serve a minimum of 70% of his sentence. he gets out in 2018. The daughter forgives her mother's killer and even employs him. He then kills the daughter.

This...this story is ridiculous.

Anyway, this murderer drown when he was trying to run from police when the police showed up to the residence due to a door alarm going off. His toxicology report showed he had multiple drugs still in his system.

Apu is one of the most sensible, rational, hardworking members of the Springfield community. He's a dedicated family man who goes through hell learning to raise eight children, and always does right by them. He runs one of the most important cultural landmarks in the town, and literally takes bullets on the regular to protect it. He's integrated into American culture whilst keeping his cultural heritage and identity, and we see him achieve so many things, such as gaining his citizenship.

But oh no, he has a silly voice, das reysith 🙄

You should know by now that crazy leftists literally see "white power!" everywhere they look. They are well beyond saving from their insanity at this point. They're too far gone.

Best you not to waste your time and energy trying to engage with them rationally in honest discourse.

Was reading a comic series spinoff of Enders Game. In one of the stories, an abused kid from a conservative christian family is taken in. He finds a multi-religious school where no one is allowed religious expression. The kids still celebrate Christmas on the sly, a fact the authories turn a blind eye to, until the kid complains.

A christian puts an end to Christmas.

Think they pulled a muscle contorting the narrative to fit a "Christian bashing" narrative by having a christian attack Christmas?

Pretty sure they flipped the script in general, it's usually a "minority religion" that complains "No one gets religion". But gotta attack them Christians, because the only acceptable punching is punching up. That's why its fine for nerds to punch jocks in the nose, and expect no retaliation, amiright?

No, Christians ruining Christian things is a legit thing.

Prayer being removed from schools and religious functions being removed from schools? Christians were part of that. It wasn't just atheists.

Here's why: Karens exist in Christianity, as well.

"I don't want my proper Baptist son praying like the Pentecostals or the Mormons!"

Stupid shit like that.

Christian Karens have been ruining shit for centuries.

Edit - Nothing says "Christian acceptance, humbleness, love, and openness" like oppressing other sects of Christianity. That's sarcasm. This is the opposite of Christianity - it's like...totes the basics of being a Christian and they can't even get that right.

Like "Christiana are perfected jews"?

Or is that "perfected Catholics"?

I forget how that goes. I just know they didn't look too kindly on my being Catholic when I joined the Campus Crusade for Christ on campus, and actually ambushed me with an attempted conversion.

The writer of Enders Game is Mormon.

Not a Mormon!

The horror!

You'll need to wait 10 more years before outing someone as religious has any effect. Don't worry: we are slowly moving direction and some places on the internet will already persecute you for being a theist.

Alright I've been seeing/hearing this going around far too much that it really gets me mad. But the VA for Cleveland from Family Guy steps down because quote "Persons of color should play characters of color."

....So let's get this straight huh? The guy plays this character for 2 DECADES....20 years and now decides to step down?....

WHAT? Oh so should Tara Strong stop VA male characters? I mean she's not a guy, so if we're going by this stupid logic, she shouldn't be voicing them.

20 years...and now it's suddenly bad for a white VA to voice a black guy. It's almost like acting is where someone pretends to play someone they are not and this is voice acting, the only thing one is given is a voice.

But yeah, out of all the stories thus far I've heard of, this has got to be the dumbest.
