When did The Simpsons get bad?

Apparently they're pledging to retire Homer choking Bart from the show now. Honestly, just cancel the show already. As if a dad choking a son was even "OK" in the 80s... it's a f***ing gag!

They’re not removing it. Google it. People just wanted something woke to complain about.

Funny that nobody brought up a lack of strangling before this. As it was pointed out it’s hardly done anymore. It just faded naturally like Bart’s prank phone calls.

Man, these youtube opinion videos… Honest question, how often do you feel just informed after watching one of those and not at least a little angry? Because I never watch any of them and I get angry just seeing the stupid thumbnail and the awful clickbait title. And that‘s all these pseudo-experts are trying to do - generate negativity.

They're pretty much reporting the news, not their fault the news is all negative nowadays.

Apparently the co-creator said Homer will indeed continue to strangle Bart. It sounds like this was just a joke and everyone blew it out of proportion and took it at face value.

Honestly though, everyone is such an oversensitive pussy nowadays, it would be believable that they would remove Homer choking Bart. I mean, they got rid of Apu over literal nonsense.

See, there‘s your contradiction right there. It‘s not news, just a quote taken out of context and spun into clickbait fake news.

Yeah, yeah. Well hey. Forgive me/us for jumping the gun on a kind of thing that is happening widespread, wantonly.

The point is, if you‘re angry about societal issues, getting even angrier because some youtube idiot sh*ts their garbage content into the world and doesn‘t even reasearch it properly, is probably not going to improve anything on the actual problem.

I'd probably just have Homer choke Bart in the Treehouse of Horrors exclusively going forward. Make it a once a year tradition.
