Hollywood Rape General

How often did that episode actually air? There's so much zombie Simpsons now.

Is there more zombie Simpsons than good Simpsons at this point? Seems like there must be.

Absolutely. Zombie Simpsons started right around 2000. There are 18 years of complete shit in existence. Not that you'd know from episodes people actually mention or even current Simpsons memes because it's all old Simpsons stuff.

Even /tv/'s beloved forced meme Sneedposting is from early Zomie Simpsons.

The Simpsons have long reached the strange aeons where even death can die.

The Simpsons episode with Michael Jackson is going to be pulled from airing.

Dick move. Dude didn't even play himself, ffs.

“This was a treasured episode. There are a lot of great memories we have wrapped up in that one, and this certainly doesn’t allow them to remain,” James L. Brooks told the newspaper. He said it would take time, however, for the show to be removed from syndication, as well as FXX’s “Simpsons World” on-demand service, and future reissues of its DVD sets.

“I’m against book burning of any kind. But this is our book, and we’re allowed to take out a chapter,” he told the Journal.

This is why physical media is good, kids. James L. Brooks will NEVER get my DVD set.

"We're against Orwellian censorship unless we're censoring our own stuff to virtue signal." Fuck you Brooks. What do you think this accomplishes? Assuming Michael Jackson actually molested some kids, this isn't going to magically unmolest them. And what have your Hollywood distribution compatriots done with Roman Polanski's works? He's still alive and profiting off them, and probably using his money to prey on more underage girls for fuck's sake!

This such tiresome performative bullshit.

It's like that Olympics episode of Criminal Intent that got pulled and you can only watch on YouTube now. If you buy the DVD set the episode is listed with an asterisk and explanation that basically amounts to "Lulz, shouldn't have bought it then, bitch."

I would say that in season 9 it started going to shit, there are some bad episodes in the first seasons but nowhere as the level of woke simpsons.

Show was garbage pretty much after the first three or four seasons. Even by the mid-90s it had shifted focus from lil bastard Bart to become the Homer Show. The "Who Shot Mr. Burns" shit was the capper.

First season was god awful, season 2 is where they started to embrace being silly but season 4 was when it really started to get good.

This is some hipster contrarianism but at least you didn't go with the obvious 'The Simpsons was never good' so 7/10 for effort
