Bishounen Hideto ([info]bishounenhideto) wrote in [info]unfunny_fandom,
Thank you for politely answering my questions. I appreciate it. I'd still like to see things be more even across the board. What Hasbro did in the end was the absolute right thing to do. I'd like to see even "adult shows" be given the same once-over to spend less time trying to get cheap laughs from racial/sexual/younameit stereotypes and actually try simply being originally funny.

As a southerner, I get tired of the "missing teeth, didn't graduate 5th grade, wear only overalls and no shoes, dumb as a rock, inbred hayseed redneck" trope, but not much ever gets done about that. It makes too much money, I guess. Larry the Cable Guy isn't even actually southern, so a northerner slurs southerners and makes big bucks and is hugely popular for doing it. *sighs*

If it takes one genre/fandom at a time to try to deal with using -isms for cheap laughs, then it's good to see Hasbro helping that along for this particular -ism. It's good to see people pull together and make it happen.
