41137	Apu is being written out of The Simpsons	Well, this makes me angry. I was really hoping that The Simpsons producers weren't going to cave to a bunch of SJWs that are offended by Apu, but it looks like they have. And the fact that they are doing it proves what cowards they really are.<div><br></div><div>If we're REALLY going to be offended by Apu because of his stereotypical Indian character, then why not be offended by OTHER Simpsons characters. Such as Groundskeeper Willy, and his stereotypical Scottish character. Or Chief Wiggem, who is essentially a stereotypical donut-eating police cop. Why is Apu so bad? The real "problem" with Apu isn't the fact that his character is offensive, but rather the people who are offended by him. That is 2018 for you.</div>	blueluigi	Oct 27, 2018
41136	Apu is being written out of The Simpsons	<p>I really have no qualms with this, because I have not been a Simpsons fan for literally decades. However, I don’t know how Apu can represent a racist stereotype, any more than Hank Hill does. Just because enough propane company owners may behave or interact with people like Hank Hill that it became the basis for the creation of his character, doesn’t make it offensive. Same applies to Apu. There are enough Indian gas station employers/employees out there that it became the basis of his creation. That’s it. End of story.</p>	Vaporman87	Oct 27, 2018

41133	A different kind RetroDaze meetup	<div>Before bringing this up, I had already started looking for ways to raise the money for a new meetup.</div><div><br></div><div>Currently there is some kind of reconnaissance happening among Masters of the Universe Classics collectors... Ebay prices on them have gone sky high. So I'm taking advantage of it and selling off some of my collection (not items I'm keeping for myself, but ones I bought expressly to sell when the time was right).</div><div><br></div><div>So far I've raised over $2,000! Hurray for He-Man!<br></div>	Vaporman87	Oct 26, 2018

41130	Halloween Nostalgia & More!	Tonight is Trick-or-Treat night for our area. We'll be heading into Pomeroy for "Treat Street", which we did last year. We'll be going as Jurassic World characters (Owen, Claire, and dinosaurs). I'll post pics when I get a chance. <img src="http://www.retro-daze.org/images/smilies/p5.gif">	Vaporman87	Oct 25, 2018
