When does this finally mean that no LGBT can ever play a hetero character?!
Liberals are extremely selective with their rules. Certain groups get special rights or "equity" and other groups are punished.
We have blackwashing of real people from history, we have "non-binary trans-men" playing CIS hetero women, and liberals are happy with that. However, they lose their minds if the reverse ever happens.

Can we differentiate between the producers of The Simpsons wanting to make changes to their casting - by their own admission, based on the compilation of LGBTQ scenes from the show's history. They claim (themselves) that they were embarrassed and wanted to make a change.
This is a far cry from being FORCED to make a change.
-
Ah, so whiney liberals who bitch and moan about the wrong people playing certain groups have nothing to do with it.
It's not like we don't see the fag rags constantly crying when a gay character isn't played by some queen because only gay can play gay, but then defend gays playing hetero because it's only acting.

I can hardly wait for someone to point out the fact that it is genetically and historically IMPOSSIBLE that Jesus was Caucasian!
When Hollywood starts casting Arab or Jewish actors (with dark skin, no less) to portray Jesus and his disciples (in the interest of being more historically accurate), you're just going to flip out...
It's just a matter of time!
There certainly has been enough white-washing of history...
Ever looked into the history of Jack Daniels whiskey? Yeah, they're finally starting to admit: Jack Daniel didn't get "the recipe" from Rev Call, he got it from Rev Call's SLAVE: Nearis Green!
Giving my source some credit: check out Mike Rowe's podcast "The Way I Heard It" - (yes, Mike Rowe from "Dirty Jobs")

Ah, so you are justifying.
Henry VIII never married a black woman, but that doesn't matter to the BBC.
Joan of Arc was a 17yo ginger white chick, but who cares about the truth on that?
Your BS justifications don't speak to the double standards I pointed out, by you liberals.
If you people demand that only fags can play fags, then you are being extreme hypocrites when you insist that gays playing heteros is ok. Likewise when you bitch about a woman playing a trans-man, but find no problem with a trans-man playing a woman.

Actually, what I'm justifying is that casting directors get to choose who plays what... and that's pretty much the end of it!
I've said before that "casting" is mostly exempt from most discrimination laws in the US. (Living near Disney in Florida, there are a TON of "equal opportunity" laws that they're exempt from because they consider ALL of their front-line "resort" employees to be "cast members")
My point isn't in support of or saying-against the re-casting of roles - either to more "realistic" representations (gays play gays), or against them (men play women).... (Ever seen the gay West Side Story - where Maria is Mario?). My point is that there is no government interference here... and there is no governmental interference even POSSIBLE (at least without changing a lot of laws!)
There are cultural forces at work here, not LEGAL ones... If the Simpsons wanted to ignore the Asians who objected to Apu, or the queers who object to Hank Azaria playing a gay character, they have been free to do so! But for the same reason that casting directors cast (sometimes MIScast) "stars" in certain roles, they also take into account what "extra exposure" can come from making (and changing) casting!
If you ask me, The Simpsons is likely making casting changes as-much to garner "fresh" publicity about the moves as for anything else! (Let's face it - these are just VOICES! The actual animation isn't changing at all!)
And you are a perfect example of their success in that!
Finally, for what its worth: Saint Joan of Arc was about 5 feet 2–3 inches tall, was athletic, had dark brown hair and a somewhat short neck.

@bi4smooth Why is it impossible for Jesus to be whatever race? Do you recall who Jesus daddy is?
-
@raphjd They are quite hypocritical on the Simpsons. They have decided that their characters must be voiced by similar people..
Does that mean they will re-cast Bart Simpson with a 9 year old boy? At the moment they have a 63 year old woman voicing Bart. Bit of Trivia. the actor who voices Homer / Krusty / Barney is the same age as Bart! 63.. I haven't watched an episode of the Simpsons in over 15 years. -
I haven't watched the Simpsons for years.
Before they started getting woke they were pretty good, but when they bowed down to Scientology and others, they started to suck.
-
So @lololulu19 & @raphjd BOTH admit to not having watched The Simpson's in years... yet, here they are talking about the show because of some minor casting decisions. (Notice: NO MAJOR characters have been affected, only "bit parts"... yet.... here we are!)
The marketing department is serving cake and ice-cream in the break room
While you think this is them "caving" to pop-culture (and the Marketing Department thanks you for that), the clear result is that, by changing less than 1% of their content, they have made headlines and been the topic of countless discussions such as these!
Marketing Victory!

As always, you defend/praise everything liberal.
-
Even comedians agree that "woke" is the death of comedy.
it is genetically and historically IMPOSSIBLE that Jesus was Caucasian!
bi4smooth, what a strange non sequitur. Why drag Him in? Except I do adore your SHRIEKING CAPS and exclamation mark.... on a statement that flatly contradicts the other Standard Liberal Position: Him being supposedly an out-of-wedlock child of a Roman soldier. (St. Mary supposedly raped etc. Although even on her side, Jews by that point in history could sometimes have Greek blood.)

Not quite: I actually decry fake-news & wanton hyperbole.
The fact that your agenda is right-wing and that many of your posts employ BOTH tools of deception (as well as false-escalation) leads you to the false (though understandable) conclusion... simply because there is no liberal nut-job spouting fake "the world is ending" or "socialize everything" bullshit to counter you.
I am a eslf-described conservative-libertarian... and I have said so here repeatedly... your attempts to label me otherwise are crude and unwelcome, but a price I appear willing to pay... at least for now...
But I believe in truth above politics. I don't have to "win everything: totally and completely" or "crush my opponents" to get a victory... if the idea is a good one and it comes from a Democrat, Republican, Independent - or even a communist - then it's a good idea!
Mind you, a lot more good ideas come from conservative Republicans than liberal Democrats (and I've even heard a few - very few - good ideas from Trump-brainwashed-Republicans!) but what's good for America is good for America - no matter which party it comes from!
But what's "Good for America" is not a zero-sum game! What's good for America can also be good for the rest of the world, or humanity, or wildlife, or <insert something else here>!
For us to win, there doesn't have to be a loser! Sometimes there are winners and losers... but sometimes there are losers and bigger losers, and sometimes - and these are the good times - there are winners and winners!

You are a self-confessed Biden voter with extreme TDS.
-
@bi4smooth Word salad.
Do we win, when there's peace? Is not-bombing brown children a good idea?
I say yes. And Trump was the first U.S. president in decades to not start wars.
If you think deeply about that, it will tell you why the U.S. bureaucracy hated & framed him.
But Biden, in his career pre-senility, never met a U.S. war he didn't like. As we speak, Biden's handlers & senility nurses are cooking up new wars.

@bi4smooth Apparently you failed to read RaphJD's post. Allow me to paraphrase it:
"He liked the show until it changed it's content including who performed the voices, the subject matter, and it's tone"I don't think it's such a good marketing move when a LOT of people have abandoned the show because of their becoming WOKE.
Some other examples of WOKE products and entertainment which have permanently turned me off to them: Coke products; Delta; anything Disney; CNN; MSNBC; CBS; NBC; ABC; Robert De Niro; Rob Reiner; Roseanne show spinoff; The View; NBA; NFL; Facebook; Twitter; Youtube; all Hollywood movies

LOL - the recent ratings SPIKE for The Simpsons would seem to tell a different story...
NEWS FLASH - they're not after older, politically staid viewers... they're trying to "renew" their viewership with younger viewers...But you keep wrapping yourself in that conspiracy blanket ... it seems to keep your warm and cozy at night... and that's fine by me! I just wish you'd stop trying to get me (or anyone else) to fall for the same lies...
I'm going to stop watching this thread -- and go back to my breakfast of ground up children and deep-state lies!
-
@bi4smooth Typical.. you just can't keep a liberal from their daily diet of ground up children and deep state lies! It's their bread and butter!
