Well you actually stopped using ad homs and now switched to silly internet memes LOL!
Well if youre not going to complain about it then its still hypocrisy, because theyre not authentic aliens or otherwise.
Then say this:
If he ever gives a direct and honest response to a post, I might just start looking into religion.
It is not, because the Simpsons is a cartoon, which is pretty much on the same level as fantasy, so your fauxrage at Azaria portraying such a character is hypocritical.
And he talks about me again because he cant argue the subject matter. You must hold the Guinness Book of World Records when it comes to fallacies.
The Simpsons is still a cartoon, nobody thinks its realistic in any way, shape or form. Its satire and comedy, not meant to be taken seriously.

Try and read this, it'll help since you do it all the time:

A cartoon satire is pretty much fantasy. Im sure you know that.
Satire and fantasy are pretty much the same thing. You have a double standard, for you race is important for satire, but not for fantasy.
The Simpsons is a cartoon. Get it? A cartoon! Nothing more than a bunch of animated lines, yet you rage against someone impersonating an Indian (and who isn't a bad character), but perfectly okay with someone impersonating something else with a rubber mask. Its a textbook definition of double standard.
Many appreciate Azaria’s sentiment but otherwise don’t think about it too much. After all, a great many Indians are familiar with hearing other Indians with British accents and thinking nothing of it. Frankly, this is mostly about white Americans—probably males—working through their hang ups or trying to spin Azaria’s comments at someone other than them as part of some narrative they want to push. Those people unnecessarily spend a LOT of mental energy on some weird stuff, as this thread can attest to.
About half of my extended family is from India and the most common grievance is that Apu is not a doctor or engineer. The accent or general depiction doesn’t even raise a hair.
I dunno. Ask a Scot?
I’ve met a lot of Scots and it is half of my heritage.
My experience (obviously cannot be representative of a population) is that people are mostly offended by depictions that play to negative stereotypes. When it comes to “white guy working the accent” I don’t know ANYONE who cares about the voice actor’s ethnicity. So from that perspective, i don’t think many are seriously offended. Now that said, a buddy of mine had parents who ran gas stations. They are ok with Apu. Most of my own relatives are hard science folks so while they have absolutely no concern about or even interest in Hank Azaria or his role in all this, they’ll look at Apu and feel a bit offended wondering “why does the prominent depiction of an Indian not reflect our advanced degrees etc?” Me… i understand that concern but won’t choose to amplify it much because, well, it’s entertainment. Engineers and doctors are boring. Apu at least has shenanigans.
