So I watched Fool's Paradise the other day. Despite the poor reception, I wanted to support Charlie Day, and man, what a cast in that thing. I can see why people were so disappointed that it wasn't nearly as funny as it ought to have been with such an insane cast, but it didn't actually seem like a comedy once I started watching it. It was far more of a drama with slightly comedic elements, and halfway through I dawned on my that Charlie was making a modern day Candide...which is something I'm personally interested in. The movie was far better than I expected because of the harsh criticism, and I agree that his character was the weakest link of the movie but I can't really hate on it!

Pretty sure the people making weeks/months-old jokes at LL's expense are more the people who are making the thread about her than the person who asks someone to stop making those jokes?

All I am asking is that people not loudly opine for the days when they could see blackface on television.

the blackface episode that was taken down has one of glenn's best deliveries of the entire series when frank says james earl jones is doing a great blackface and dennis, gobsmacked, says

"james earl jones HAS a black face, he's a black MAN"

the frustration and amazement in his voice is so loving funny

Jesus loving Christ, man. What is with all of you? Get over me. Why reference me at all in this? I legit don't think any of you get what my problem ever even was, because the very first time we ever, as a thread, talked about this matter, I said this was the solution. This is exactly what I said to do. What one of the only two actual resolutions to this are.

Pirate that poo poo. Watch that poo poo. I don't think you're racist for enjoying those episodes.

I enjoy those episodes. They aren't what make me uncomfortable.

Edit: Y'know what? I made a video years ago that might help with this. This is how I feel about this poo poo. Please don't be awful about it. I'm making myself vulnerable here because I absolutely believe that none of you are performatively misunderstanding me, and that we are, in fact, having a real misunderstanding.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V3xaGDdmHeY

And before anybody says it, I don't think you're nazis. This wasn't a video about this thread.

What I want, most of all, is for us all to exist in a space where "that episode rules. The blackcface wasn't the best, though," is the way of things, but that's a moonshot. What I'll settle for is us just all understanding that banning blackface on TV after the 2020 protests wasn't like fundies banning death metal or hip hop. There's a context there that matters, and it isn't Tipper Gore telling us we can't like hip hop anymore.

The episodes don't make me uncomfortable. You wanting to watch them doesn't make me uncomfortable. I want to watch them too. They're good episodes.

does. They exist. You can watch them. Keep watching them. I loving will. Just not in company that feels the need to cry censorship about their removal. Piracy exists. Disclaimers exist. I'm not some idiot who doesn't get that the show is also saying it's bad.

I'm going to be honest here, I have no idea what you want from this thread. Every time ChesterJT makes one of those weird GIFs with your name in it, I assume that's what you're getting upset about, but you seem to enjoy those? Then Serperoth has a throwaway line in their post and that seems to set you off on a giant effort post. We're just trying to have fun with the show and repeat quotes from it at each other.

Oh, I like the smell of my own dumps.
I don't know how someone can be upset about the black face in Sunny when it was always specifically to show how racist it appears when it's done. Like, that's the entire point. Further, it's even dumber to get upset about it related to Sunny because they had way more racial jokes than just putting some makeup on someone, but those are okay?

Banning or being upset about blackface of this kind is like telling a library they can't keep Fahrenheit 451.

Edit - Isn't the whole point of the Frank song in The Gang Turns Black to say that black people really don't care when there is no animosity behind it?

Total fuckin' silence.
Removing the episodes was a corporate PR thing. The George Floyd protests were about police officers killing black people for no reason, but that's sadly a lot for big business to publicly endorse, so they removed a few things regardless of context and called it a day, possibly while slapping themselves on the back for finally solving racism. Never mind that quite a bit has been written about the offending scenes actually being quite popular with black fans because they are very honest about how wrong it is - a Community episode that was also removed was even more brazen, with a case of blackface being described as a "hate crime" by two black characters.

Blackface is hideous and has a very deliberately coded racist history. I don't want to claim that all black people are fine with its self-aware and ironic use in Always Sunny and Community because that's probably not the case - I'm very white so there's not much I can really add to the debate at a personal level because it can't directly offend me. That said, I don't agree with the decision to remove the episodes, and I think a better halfway solution would be to use a disclaimer like Disney do for all the actual racism in their classic animated canon. You could even use such a disclaimer to link to a debate on the subject or address other problematic things in the show's history that even the creators are a bit unsure about - like Dee's Dating a R-word Person.

I don't really care about searching out for them though. Some of the removed episodes are really good, but there are loads of really good episodes of Always Sunny regardless, some of which also discuss racism. That's why they don't win awards, because the black guy quota is way off.
