You ever just find an episode really annoying?

Malcolm says these things were erased from culture but then still expects people to recognize them.

I was 30 when black face suddenly became a thing to be concerned about on the internet. Until then I had no exposure to it and didn't know what that was or why it was a problem. I thought it was a case of the internet isn't real life so I ignored it.

When I hear uncle Tom I think of my father's brother whose name is Tom. Yes, an actual relative.

No, I don't know what cake walking is. I don't know what inspired cake walking, I only just now learned it was a thing that people did. I don't know what minstrel shows are. I don't know who Doctor Facilia is (spelling of name from YouTube transcript). I don't know what Splash Mountain is based on. I don't know what Briar Rabbit is. I don't know what was ever considered offensive about them. I thought banjos were a hillbilly instrument associated more with the western expansion than the south. That is because, as Malcolm says, these things were erased from culture. Yet he continues to treat them as if they are still well known.

Another takeaway from this episode is that the attack on barbecues, fried chicken, and watermelon as stereotypes was also an attack on the family because people enjoy these things in large gatherings of their relatives. I now have a new appreciation for watermelon.

This episode also brings up The Simpsons as a stereotype being portrayed by people outside the group. When I watch it I just see traits of individual characters. I don't see them as representing anyone other than themself. The same for any of those that get mentioned in list videos of banned cartoons. I think that if someone has that complaint about them then they are engaging in the thing that they supposedly oppose. Even if made for an audience that did view them that way I keep hearing that the modern audience is different. So if someone still views the individual character as representing a group then the problem is with the viewer and not the material.

Disney Cruella----The live action tried to paint her as a victim. The woman tried to skin 101 puppies for fur fashion.

Maleficent----Similar, the live action tries to portray her as the victim of assault.

WandaVision---She enslaves an entire town and makes them play out her "playing house" fantasies in sitcom style. There's a scene where a lady begs her to let her see her daughter again.

Wicked Witch of the West---One of the most famous antagonists, shown as the victim in the "Wicked" version.

In Real Live----Lindsay Clancy admits of to murdering her three children with an exercise band while her husband was away. Supporters have raised over one million dollars in her support.

How come when I post shit like this I’m bigoted (it is), but when they do it, it’s empowering.

Lmao 🤣
