For some context the episode opens with the humans asking the native american ghost for permission to have Thanksgiving. The native ghost razzes them about genocide and all but eventually reveals he has no issue with it. The other white ghost go through the whole gamut of white guilt. The rich Victorian age ghost says she was an oppressed Irish person so she's not bad. The jewish yuppie ghost says his ancestors were being run out of town during colonial days. The revolutionary ghost is attacked as a colonizer but he claims he is gay, so he should be shielded from criticism.
Then the Viking ghost chimes in about the colonist being genocidal colonizers. Someone points out he had personally killed thousands of people and brags about it still he responds with, "But they were all Europeans so Thor's hands are clean." The tv show is telling white people the death of white people in history is okay.
I know this isn't a new thing. MASH had episodes with Potter defending the World Wars while bemoaning the war in Korea. Making the death of asian people more horrific than the deaths of white people. But there was an implication rather than an overt, dead white people is funny right tone.
It's ok to kill Germans. We're all magical death and war fairies. Please ignore all the things we have helped with like boardgames, wargames, engineering, autism, and cars driven by wankers.
I had a BMW tailgating me through a residential neighborhood this morning so close that I braced for impact when I slowed to make my turn. So thanks, Germans.
Yeah, I have trucks that do that where I live. Then they flip you off and try to ram you for slowing down.
Oh, we have those too. Bro-Dozers we call them. Had one nearly sideswipe me the other day.
That's a good description.
BTW, we also made Porsche and Audi. Assholes, and cool people.
there was some dickhead parked outside walmart the other day with his music so loud i could hear it from my car like i was listening to the radio myself
Petey you really have a fondness for absolute, unadulterated goyslop. I worry about your diet.
That's a fair criticism, I have some bad habits I'm trying to improve on. I'm actually much better than I once was
Here's a completely random recommendation knowing absolutely nothing about what you may like: Legend of the Galactic Heroes.
Good luck finding good shows! o7
The old one, not the remake. Hardcore, or no core.
I'm not an anime guy. I liked Robotech years ago, but it would probably bore me today
There's your problem - you're watching a TV show made in 2015 or later.
He says latest episode so he's talking about the the American remake Ghosts (2021-present) that's even worse.
I had checked it out only because the first one or two seasons of iZombie were fun. Mindless but fun. Well in iZombie they made the average-looking lead actress kind of attractive with clothing and camera, but in Ghosts they actually made her less attractive than her normal self.
There's only one kind of show that's purposely going to make their lead actress look bad - the worst kind.
I wasn't aware it was the same actress. I didn't watch IZombie but saw enough commercials that I should have noticed
It's the American version, hence the Thanksgiving episode
Your first mistake was watching network television for boomers
rofl, it's a remake of a British show. I would encourage you to look up the cast to the original.
Low-tier entertainment doesn't begin to cover it.
I've seen the British version
Say it aint so.
Yeah bro, the show where the Indian shitter is married to a blonde woman shockingly is woke.
It's a post-Obama American broadcast sitcom with a white woman married to an Indian man. It's a miracle the show has any jokes at all.
Lecture jokes.
I've actually watched a few episodes of it and it has a few jokes that are actually intended to be funny for the sake of being funny, not just as a pretense to explain why people are bad, but it isn't a great show.
