people consider this guy a derogatory stereotype because... he has a thick accent and manages a convenience store
Seriously? That's it? It's not like he's an unhygienic, misogynistic sex pest who runs a scam operation.
People consider this guy a derogatory stereotype because... he has a thick accent and manages a convenience store
He was the pillar holding back all Indian stereotypes. Before he was booted, if you asked any normie what an Indian stereotype is they'd say "Good with tech, friendly, owns a gas station". Nowadays they'd say "Cooks with their bare feet, does gift card scams, smells rancid".
I never saw it as derogatory. They do have broken accents just like how my people have broken accents.
Hari Kondabolu should be lauded as a hero for his role in helping to ingrain the True Indian into the public consciousness
Fuck off , did you see his prices!? They may ask well just rob me!
Kondabolu is an unfunny hack comedian who spent his career telling the same shitty, tired ethnic jokes that the Simpsons did but less funny. Then he could capitalize on the lucrative victimhood market by weaponizing his identity to attack a much more successful entity in the entertainment industry. It worked because Hollywood is filled with other braindead "metropolitan progressive" types who think they're on the cutting edge of social discourse and everything they do is critically important, when the exact opposite is true.
Nobody in the real world found Apu offensive and everywhere you look where people talk about this, comments are overwhelming negative. The only people who actually agree with Kondabolu are other self-righteous shitlib hypocrites who run the entertainment industry, and probably went to Diddy's freak-off orgies and groomed underage girls who worked on Dan Schnider shows.
I remember every ad on Anon Babble was for this documentary for like two weeks when it came out
and then he completely disappeared from the mainstream after, because outside of whining about Apu nobody knows or likes him. Even when his Hollywood friends tried to push him his stuff got zero traction with anyone outside their bubble. He's a failed astroturf.
Notice how nobody ever talks about him personally even when they're talking about his only notable accomplishment?
Indians in the 90s and 00s
quirky, fun, pretty easy to make friends with
Indians in the 10s and 20s
rude, aggressive, scammers
I miss Apu.
cletus is 1000x worse but never had a back comedian run a campaign to remove him
Really makes you think
Back
Hack, fuck me
Your opinion matters less than the guy who got his va replaced. Think aboot that
What happened is that the majority of first generation wave of Indian immigrants were your traditional hardworking types that had some for of college education, that wanted out of their shithole country.
Then two related things happened, they brought their shiitty relatives over because family and hierarchy matters way to much for them, and that the tech industry started outsourcing low tier tech job over there in the late 90s and 2000s on account of being integrated enough into western culture to be bottom of the barrel instead of unusable (the tech companies tried to do the same to Ireland in the 90s, but they were two western and so couldn't be used for dreg labor as easily).
This caused India to modernize because it was culturally ready to and flood out into the rest of the word to parasitize and the subsume their white color economies the same way blue color ones had been by China and SEA.
TLDR: Its like when a tribal species in Scifi gets uplifted before their time and becomes a stellar barbarian culture. Except instead of taking through open conflict they devour tech jobs.
implying Hari killed Apu
I talked to an Indian for the first time in my life just a couple of weeks ago.
He kept calling deodorant "aftershave". After I corrected him, he claimed to being unable to tell them apart because he neither can smell nor uses them anyway.
I'm so glad it was online. I don't even want to imagine the smell.
he has a thick accent
The Whyte guy portraying him has a thick accent. Then some brave Indian spoke up and the industry got down on its knees
if you're white you have no business on how Apu should be represented.
they should never have gotten rid of him. same as family guy shouldnt have changed clevelands VA. fuck the haters....
I always found it interesting how in America, it's Indians who man the convenience stores. Over here in Canada, it's mostly Asians for independent convenience stores. And chains like 711 it's whites. The burger king near my house has always been shitty and now the whole staff is all Indians. I don't know how they stay in business, it always looks like a ghost town.
simpsons writers are just subconsciously racist
Shut up you faggot
Cope retard
Ah yes, a gay man who fantasizes about having a gay ghost roomate while also claiming to have fatigue from long covid which is preventing him from doing other projects is now lecturing how other people can't have an oppinion on a topic.
It’s mainly gas stations they’re all at.
My gas station hasn’t hired a non-Indian in years, and since some of them got into head office that’s all they hire and promote.
It’s gotten to the point where the Christmas dinner party is advertised as having a traditional meal or an Indian one.
When did he said that he was gay?
My man, his claim to fame was ulgy futa ponies and he has a femboy fanart section on his livestreams. He references gay culture and media a shit ton in his videos too. He is as gay as they come, and he certainly "comes" to dudes.
There's several tweets of his where he doodles his caricature thinking about men and actively brags about jerking off to gay porn in his livestreams, he recently showed some app he's using that tracks when he faps and he's basically a complete coomer
Shame too considering this could have been avoided if he simply readjusted to regular society instead of falling for the meme that you need to focus on your passion to be truly happy and make money. He basically went homeless for a while since he couldn't adjust with the modern landscape of Youtube, there's a reason he swent woke and streams now, it's just a lot easier and more profitable. He's just a product of the environment, which doesn't even really make sense considering he doesn't seem as passionate about internet culture as other e-celebs in their 30's, he's basically like DingDong from Oneyplays except without the constant meltdowns; the market for his craft/interests is completely fucked and he simply can't move on
even worse than it is all the black characters now being voiced by black people only. It doesn't make any sense in terms of one's work as a VA and it's also extremely hypocritical,since blacks voicing non-black characters is just fine
He references gay culture and media a shit ton
So does Anon Babble
I'm gonna give you my best estimation of the events as a guy of the same race
Diaspora indians didn't like geting called apu and people giggling at the accent imitations in high school
Software indians got enough social clout to try and shed the "liquor store indian" stereotype
Find out they aren't as white adjacent as they thought they were
Find out white people do as white people will
Now stay quiet and embarassed when white people bring out worse stereotype jokes
Must be a frustrating experience but I love seeing them realize they aren't white and are as brown as the rest of us. Best part was Vivek Ramaswamy getting told by rural repubs that "his people did 9/11" and losing votes and subsequently crashing out
Get fucked, you're never gonna be white.
name 5 black voice actors
name a show, movie or game with 5 distinct black voice actors
name a show, movie or game with 5 distinct black voice actors voicing main characters
blacks voicing non-black characters is just fine because there's barely any black character roles anywhere.
name 5 black voice actors
NTA but
Cree Summer,
Kevin Michael Richardson,
Phil Lamarr,
Keith David,
Jackie Chan
He asked for black voice actors, dumbass. Cree Summer is a voice actress
Indian Americans should be more proud of their immigrant roots and not feel ashamed to stand out. Baljeet, Apu, and Ravi are some of the best Anon Babble and Anon Babble characters ever
And they're all homogayfaggots as well
blacks voicing non-black characters is just fine because there's barely any black character roles anywhere
very simple solution: coming up with more black characters
also,if whites can't voice non-white characters anymore,the same should go for any race/ethnicity/group. The way things are right now is simply hypocritical,mean spirited and serves only to enhance the race war/discrimination.
You are implying that black VA have more rights than the others
It's just a vibe.
Oh god. Keith David.
You won't believe me, but I'm 100% straight.
That man's voice, though? It has consensual intercourse with my eardrums all night long and I make it breakfast the next morning.
us
Hate to break it to you anon, but you're not just hearing the same black voice actors everywhere because of racism. It's cause they don't want any new blood muscling in on their turf and are vacuuming up every role that they can justify getting their mitts on. It's why they have no issue campaigning to kick white voice actors out of voicing minority roles, but also pretend there's no issue with them taking over roles that by their logic "should" go to lesser-represented minorities such as Phil Lamarr voicing an asian man aka Samurai Jack. And frankly, I get it.They want to get paid, and they'll do it any way they have to, even if it means stepping on everyone else to do it.
what about dubs
I highly doubt the weeb dub of The Simpsons has black characters be voiced by koku jin that just so happen to speak fluent Japanese.
that only makes black people in general to be viewed as selfish,arrogant and entitled fucks more and more
Baljeet is a funny voiced meek nerd who gets bullied by the fat white kid. He even gets a funny accent in the Indian version
Apu- you already know
Idk who Ravi is
you may like them, but nobody wants to be them. A lot of people like Pavitr Prabhakar tho, I'm happy that they got that.
As for being proud of immigrant roots ehhh its a long discussion about expectations and conformity which you probably don't wanna get into.
Read the first line of my first reply buddy
I witnessed my classmates bullying Indian kids by saying "Thank you come again" in the voice. I can understand why they'd grow to resent him, they don't talk like that, embarrassed by their parents who do.
Really? He bought ad space here?
It's US voice actors in general. Especially the guilds/unions. You should hear the tales about Funimation about those people are run like a mob. Shit, look up the current SAG-AFTRA protests and how it intersectioned with that web game Genshin Impact, where it turns out the voice actors weren't trying to protest/boycott work on MiHoyo for protection against AI (the company already gives that) but to essentially coerce Mihoyo into only hiring union actors and nobody else. VAs are fucking sharks when they want to be, and they'll use any justification for it. Especially if they claim it's for "fairness".
tried to do the same to Ireland in the 90s
there's also like 3 of you who know how to switch on a computer, Seamus. At least the Indians come in volume
very simple solution: coming up with more black characters
Theyve been doing this for the past 12 years and it makes you piss yourselves in anger every time
Just make laws real and you will no longer need private mob justice.
Just make law real.
Mob as in "mafia", anon, not as in "terminally online weirdos".
