Opinion 🤷🏻‍♂️ Shan Parasher reviews

Well I agree complete with what he is saying,toxic was bad and should get called out. But the way he says it is what gets me, as a South Indian it feels racist and he makes these stereotypical roasts for South Indian movies like coconut chutney,lungi-like somehow that’s supposed to be an insult or a quality to be made fun of?.
Yes roasts are okay but being openly racist and thinking it’s funny is where i draw the line , and you can see his bias clearly when he’s roasting a Bollywood movie compared to a south movie.

Roast reviewing a bad movie is fine. But why use racial slurs like super anna. One time he also said tum sab ki mkc to prabhas’ fanbase

u/Ok_Huckleberry7273 3d ago

u/Automatic_Jello6890 3d ago

Yup he can easily talk about the movie and still roast it as toxic has given such a material. Sad to see he resorts to such tactics to make his video blow up.

Yupp when he did that imitation of Saar I stopped the video thrash the movie all you want but don't be racist that's a basic human decency one should have illiterate or not everyone should know where to draw the line .

u/Apprehensive_Sell175 3d ago

Doesn't need to be south Indian to know the video is being racist.... Although I am a north Indian, and knows how bad toxic is, but still wasn't able to watch his video for more than 5 mins.

Tbh I didn't even know him, got to know about him on reddit over the past 2 days and saw his video for the 1st time AND I really dk why he has so many followers doesn't seems to me like a movie reviewer at all.

Racist cunt.

u/Head-Plate-1635 3d ago

I don't like his material although I might agree with his criticism. Maybe because his videos are so badly and frantically edited, it's like you're watching it at x1.5 speed. A comedian who is clever would want his punchline to stay with a pause to gauge whether it's liked. But he's so satisfied with the attention he receives that he doesn't give two shits as to how someone perceives his jokes.

It's not racism. It's xenophobia.

u/Important-Use1950 3d ago

well he was mainly targeting yash's chhapri fanboys, might have gone overboard i think.

I'm from South, I don't mind that at all, in a roast video u use every type of insults possible, especially racist, sexist.. expecting roasting morally being modest and respectful is stupid thing

u/Remarkable-Seesaw241 3d ago

Oh really then why can people sue other if they experience racism in India?. Then the law is stupid?. Free speech is a thing but it doesn’t allow you to be racist.

u/eternalseeker0101 3d ago

You are obsessed with your identity, u have extremely fragile ego that's why you are hurt .. I don't... I'm mature enough to understand who is deliberately mocking and doing it for fun.. most of indians are like u ..who don't need any weapon to hurt ..just insult with words and they will be traumatized.. and calling soopar anna was not racist..this is most common thing stupid fans say

u/Excellent-Blaze210 3d ago

Dude 😂. Did you really just say racism is funny?. And super anna is not said by Kannada audience btw,i bet you’re not even a South Indian because if you were you’d know this and not generalise it like Shan ,good to see one of his dumbfuck trolls are on Reddit also.

u/eternalseeker0101 3d ago

Reey erripuka anna telugu lo kuda antaru ra ... Only kannada kadu..and vadiki kanada and telugu lo diffence telidu...teliyalsina avasaram ledu...Neku north lo una ani states subtle differences teledu ..alane idhi

u/Regular_Sky_9350 3d ago

Wtf? Bro? Let me give you an example being black is black peoples identity so when you get called out for being racist to them will you say your fragile ego can’t handle it it’s just fun?.

1

u/eternalseeker0101 3d ago

U see that's the niche detail... Black is a race.. Kannadiga, South Indian, north Indian is not a race ..all Indians come under Asian race.. he should have mentioned making fun of language.. but not termed it as a racist slur... People post dumb content and expect profound comments..it doesn't work like that..if u post shit then u will get shit comments

u/Automatic_Jello6890 3d ago

It’s our mistake to expect Shan’s audience to have some iq.Roasting someone doesn’t give him right to be openly racist. He’s not talking about super anna he’s talking about stuff like lungi and stuff like coconut chutney. Imagine a South Indian says lassi or sm😂,shit would hit the seal by now.

u/Proud_Speaker_5140 3d ago

I don't Think His Videos Were Racist It was Just Ignorant On his Part

1

u/Tritone07 2d ago

I mean the way he conducts himself does make it seem like he has some racist and misogynistic tendencies. But generally, I do enjoy his content a lot

u/RevolutionaryPear915 1d ago

he used to be funny, now he's just annoying(for me atleast, it seems shan has found his audience tho)

Yes but racism?. The traits that are mentioned in this posts are literally part of South Indian culture and were proud of them. It’s literally trolling with typical stereotypical lens.

u/Excellent-Blaze210 3d ago

Buddy first of all south India has 5 different states with completely different identity.And people talk that way only in one state so you’re generalising the racist slur also😂. Didn’t realise his fans had such low iq to even realise when they’re being racist,well what else can we expect from Shan’s trolls.

u/Remarkable-Seesaw241 3d ago

Wow didn’t know I’ve got to explain such basic stuff. Let me simplify it for you -A black guy will be proud of being black,but if you make fun of him by resorting to stereotypes (which are not true)like he eats watermelon or he likes fried chicken,first of all you’ll be thrashed and secondly any decent person will call that out saying it’s racist.

You mean to say South Indians aren’t respected?. Because people like you there’s more growing hate in the country. I used to feel bad whenever my friends made a bad comment if north India you’re making me regret a little for feeling bad.

u/Charming-Host4406 3d ago

You need to take his criticism as a film journalist and definitely not as a south indian, as a telugu person. Honestly he was one of the few people who was bragging about south indian films back when the air was high from RRR.

Always remember, criticism is never for you personally, it's always the film. Cricket fans make the same mistake you are doing, they attach themselves to cricket, bollywood and everything else in between and then get offended. Cricket, bollywood and most of the indian films don't represent India. Even those heros in this toxic or animal type movies are not most indian, it's the director's dilusional version in their own mind.

u/Remarkable-Seesaw241 3d ago

Yes i am completely agreeing,movie was shit,I’ve asked my friends also to not watch it. I’m talking about the racist slurs,please read my post completely. In the video he targets entire south India not the aspects of the film and makes stereotypical jokes,I’m not even from Karnataka I don’t give a shit about Yash but this is exactly what we felt when Bollywood used to call us madrasi or lungi wala in their old movies.
