An era has passed: the animated series “The Simpsons” lost its feature due to tolerance and fear of offending someone (6 photos)

Although she entertained audiences for more than 30 years.





The Simpsons is the longest-running animated series on American TV. The 35th season started in October of this year. The cartoon has become wildly popular not only in the USA, but all over the world, so that most of those involved in the project have long been millionaires, even the voice actors.

The Simpsons made fun of everything and everyone: politics, sports, famous personalities and the situation in the world. There were no forbidden topics; they could even joke about religion or interethnic issues. This is probably why they were so loved.





One of the features of the cartoon was the relationship between the father of the family Homer Simpson and his son Bart. From time to time, the enraged dad grabbed the undergrowth by the neck and began to violently strangle him. This went on season after season.



And since 2019, this has stopped, quietly and without any publicity. The creators have been criticized more than once for “promoting domestic violence” and they decided to end these jokes before someone sues them. But viewers noticed this only now. In one of the last episodes, Homer meets a new neighbor and he praises his strong handshake. And then a satisfied Simpson says to his wife:



See, Marge, it was not for nothing that I strangled the child. And he immediately adds: Just kidding, I don’t do this anymore because times have changed.



Times have really changed, you can no longer joke about such topics. Like many others.
