The Simpsons takes on cancel culture and Joe Rogan


https://www.giantfreakinrobot.com/ent/simpsons-joe-rogan-and-messy-cancel-culture.html

The episode of The Simpsons in question, titled, “You Won’t Believe What This Episode is About – Act Three Will Shock You!” involved American lunkhead/bizarre everyman Homer Simpson being publicly shamed (or “canceled” in the parlance of our time) after accidentally locking the family dog Santa’s Little Helper in a hot car. Despite protestations that this potentially fatal incident for the dog was not intentional, Homer finds himself the butt of shunning and anger from the other residents of Springfield. After losing his job and even falling out with his family, Homer is reduced to the fringes of society. In desperation, he ends up encountering an unnamed podcast host and got to a building called “Right-Wing Podcast House.” The podcaster is a clear parody of Joe Rogan, even though it is never directly stated.

Not a good episode, but that part wasn't in it. Well know Fake News site counts on losers like you not watching The Simpsons!

Didn't they already do something similar involving Homer back in the early days... the episode called 'Homer Badman'?

That was before cancel culture/Me Too even existed... of course the Simpsons predicted it, like they do everything!

Joe Rogan is definitely not right wing. Anyone who has listened to a handful of his shows would know that.

I think the NY Post is just Claiming that's Joe Rogan, with no proof.
