Guest Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 I’m wondering if older episodes of Family Guy will be pulled, in the UK they still are pretty frequently and still include racist/stereotypes jokes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly... why isn’t it the audience’s responsibility to decipher what’s truth or not from comedy skits? I’ve watched some seriously offensive things growing up, but like even as a kid I was like “this is all jokes, lemme not assume ___ are as ___ as the person said. I don’t think a comedian should be responsible for his god-given audience’s stupidity tbh... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think its more about racism than cancel culture. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oriane 18,987 Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 I agree, it's important to keep them to have a reminder that it existed in the first place. Just as we have a lot of racist of propaganda movies from the 20th century, they shouldn't be watched for the content in itself but to understand this period of time, how things were made and how we evolved from there.

It's interesting for the next generation to see what people did back then Exactly, it's by seeing our mistakes that we can learn from them and hopefully not repeat them. You don't learn anything by putting stuff under the rug, it's actually an insult to people's intelligence and a disservice to future generations.

Many white Americans been defending their wrongdoings, ignorance, and racist behavior as freedom of speech. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
