An episode of Season 16 of The Simpsons was censored in Hong Kong, China. It was mentioned that several decades later, a political event continued to haunt the country.
In the plot, the character goes to Tiananmen Square in the center of Beijing. In 1989, violent demonstrations against military repression took place there. On June 5 of the same year, a 19-year-old youth in a white shirt and black trousers stood in front of an army tank. This picture has become a symbol and is still browsing history books.
In the animation series, when Selma faces a tank at the end of this episode, the same picture is recreated. It is unclear whether this is Disney’s self review or the order to delete this part from the 16th season. Disney+has not answered these questions.
This is not the first time program worship has faced censorship. The most recent example can be traced back to 2017, when Russia deleted an episode of Homer’s imitation of pokemongo in the church. This video reflects the fate of a young Russian blogger who was sentenced to three and a half years in prison for the same act.
Which gay character in the cult series will eventually become a husband and wife?
There is one thing in the history of the Simpsons. Wayne Smithers will have a love story in the upcoming episode.Finally, young Veron Smithers found love five years after the release of The Simpsons. In the upcoming episode Portrait of the Burning Dog, the long-time assistant of billionaire Burns will get a real inspiration.
There will be sparks between Wellen (voice over from Harry Shiller’s original version) and his new lover, Michael de Graaf. Michael will be voiced by actor Victor Garber, who is famous for playing side by side with Jennifer Garner in Anonymous. “Smithers found true love with a famous fashion designer, but will his new relationship ruin Springfield?” Describes the episode.
Victor Garber has been married to the artist Rainer Andreesen since 2015. He said that “it is crucial for these stories to be recognized”. Victor Garber, 72, said: “I haven’t played many gay roles, but every time I do this, it reminds me of my feelings as a young actor. I can’t be gay.”.
Smithers’ sexual behavior has long been mentioned, but he did not officially disclose his homosexuality until the 27th season of 2016. At that time, Wellen admitted his feelings to Burns, but was rejected. Then, Veron Smithers and a man named Julio had a short adventure.
