Since modern Simpsons tries too hard to be relevant at the expense of characterization, why haven't they made an episode where Wiggum shoots a black kid?

Get in your time machine and fuck off back to the 80's.

You're a faggot OP

Family Guy already did something similar with Peter shooting Cleveland Jr.

First they'd need to explain how Homer supports his family and lifestyle with a single 9-5 job.

Why would you even want to watch that?

Astronaut pension

You wouldn't watch an episode where Wiggum shoots and murders a black boy without any remorse?

What show would be dumb enough to do that?
Oh, right.

It's less about want and more about need. When the Simpsons showed a literal retard in charge of a reactor's security, it wasn't something people WANTED to think about after Chernobyl and Three Mile Island, but it was something they needed to think about.

Considering how bad zombie Simpsons is, and how vapid their attempts at being relevant to modern culture are, would it really be that much of a stretch if they made a BLM episode?

He doesn't
They have like two mortgages out on the house, and at one point Homer had to get money from Marge's sisters.

>could it really be that much of a stretch if they made a BLM episode?
Well, they just made a Pokemon GO parody, long after the hype died down.

>Wiggums gets temporarily out-of-town for a cop assignment or something like that
>Springfield folk hear that Wiggums shot a black kid
>Uproar and sheeit
>Wiggum returns, oblivious
>Townsfolk get uppity
>Beat up Wiggums
>Turns out Wiggums was helping a public vaccination in Detroit and he shot a kid with a vaccine syringe

That, plus

I feel like it would be tough to form a comedic premise around this without permanently ruining the character for any future use.

>chief wiggums shoots a black kid
>outrage ensues
>turns out that the kid wasn't in fact black nor kid but a white midget in blackface
>throw in random celebrity voice of the week and voila you've got a the simpsons episode

>Americans need to be guilted over dem poor black bits who dindu nuffin and get killed by dem cracka poop, and it's an "entertainment" shows job to do so

Please never get into writing tv shows. It's already shitty as it is.

The second a show tries to follow trends instead of creating them, it's done. Not to mention that it takes months for an episode to be made so they'll always be painfully behind. South Park can BARELY keep up and that's just because they streamlined the process and made it into the core of their show.

kek, projecting much, faggot? I would like to see an episode where Wiggum shoots a hardened criminal who happens to be black and gets crucified by the media. Remember that episode where Homer got crucified on false sexual harassment charges? Simpsons' writers wouldn't have the balls to do anything like that nowadays.

Lewis is one of those characters we're never going to see again.

Same with the Sunday school teacher, same with Wendell and Richard, same with Charlie from the power plant, same with Ruth and Laura Powers, same with Barney, same with Sam and Larry, same with Leopoldo, same with Scott Christian, same with just stamp the ticket man, same with Herman, same with snowball 2, same with Marge's parents, same with Sarah Wiggum, same with Martin Prince.snr and Martine Prince, same with Nana Van Houten......

Well you are going to see plenty of Moe and Mr Burns because their voice actors wanted bigger paychecks

Yeah. I feel like a lot of writers on staff are either old and out of the loop or new people dying to get that one decent idea they had made into an episode without regard for time frames. Internet 2.0 and the 24 hour news cycle makes things move way too fast for people to try and make topical humor cartoons. It's better to stick with stand up or live action nowadays if you want to go the topical route.

I thought the black guy that got shot was like 17.

Not even modern Simpson's would be stupid enough to try and tackle that subject seriously.

Besides, it's Wiggum. The character has a lot of incompetence tied to his policing, if that happened, It's be weird to not play it up as a joke

Let that be a lesson to the rest of you nuts.

Because Wiggum is a bumbling bad cop, not a racist bad cop.

>modern
Can we stop saying "modern" Simpsons. Everyone agrees Season 9 was the last good season which was 1998. Nearly 20 years isn't modern anymore.

South Park did it

And it was awful.

The reason no one gets up in arms about 'black on black' crime is that when Jamal or Tyrone commit a crime, every knows he's going down hard. What people are angry about is that police looking for 'Tyrone to shoot, shooting random black people and getting off the hook for it.

I guarantee you, no matter what nigger you shoot, they deserved it

Harry Shearer keeps badgering the writers to make more episodes about Kent Brockman.

Modern art ended in the 70's

Southpark did that already a couple of times now.

He's too incompetent to actually hit something.

No one wants you here, Sup Forums. Fuck off back to your containment board.

"Family Guy gets serious" episodes are the absolute fucking worst

Simpsons takes a long while to make.
Like when they did an inception episode like five years after the movie came out. Moreso, they literally just did a pokemon go spoof- much after the fad has mostly died.
I'm sure they'll get around to that episode within the next two years

Most of the people who watch the Simpsons are white, and we don't care.

Because it's not funny. The only people who would laugh at that are autistic south park "libertarians". .

If you call Crime Stoppers on random black males age 20-30, 50% of the time you get a reward

South Park basically did that with Zimmerman and Cartman.

You have a idea of how much a job like security job on a nuclear plant would play? if anything, homer doesn't get enough money

bring up political opinions, get political responces

>hurr durr nigger should die 88
>political discussion

keep tieing that noose and you're gonna hang yourself with it, friend

There was that time he killed a couple of kids with a jetpack as a cheap joke, blood everywhere
