Smurfs condemned as "racist"

What makes you think this is the teacher? How are you taking this seriously?

...The article posted is clearly a joke. The book, however, inspect the subject more in depth, though I would assume choosing a title like "The little blue book" would hint at some jest, and it might be more of a popular science style book on literary analysis.

Or evil marxist internationalists trying to destroy the white race or whatever Shichibukai actually believes in.

Don't know the website it's from, I've found the link to it on a forum which took it very seriously and dissed a guy who didn't believe it

Wait, what? I always thought Smurfs were Communists. They lived in a commune where there was no money, and most people are defined by their job. Often their only defining feature was their job. They had almost identical houses and almost identical clothes. If there was any problem, they always went to the guy with the beard dressed in red for his wisdom.

Gargamel, at least in the beginning, wanted the Smurfs because they were the secret ingredient for turning lead into gold, so he was clearly a capitalist. He was helped out by Azrael, named after an angel, which stood for the church.

Smurfs was Fair For Its Time

I was gong to say the Title sounds like a jab at the communist "little red book" so to speak. I am having a hard time believing this article is serious.

its sexist too, only have two females, one of which very feminine smurfette

seriously, people should stop over analyzing children book. its not like smurf reader think about communism or racism when they read it.

Wait, there was more than one female Smurf?! This is news to me.

Smurfette, Sassette, and Nanny Smurf.

Apparently there's only one a generation.

What. Just... what.

I swear, the things deluded fools will find in simple children's shows... Like those retards who claimed one of the Teletubbies, creatures with no discernible orientation, was gay.

Well, the most important thing is, we now have yet another caricature to use against social justice activists/the PC brigade/feminazis/people we don't like.

What the smurf is the smurfer smurfing?

He smurfed a smurfing smurfload of smurfed smurfleaf while smurfily smurfing smurfedly.

If people have to see any kind of "-ism" in smurfs, then communism is really much more appropriate.

But seriously, just what kind of show cannot be overanalized for unfortunate implications like that?

Ironically, but it seems that the only way to avoid unfortunate implications is - to go with currently acceptable targets. In effect, to place deliberate implications

I always say, idiots and mad fools will find any implication in anything if they look for it hard enough. Hell the people finding these implications are probably listening to the voices in their head too much.

There was also that article a few months ago about Friendship Is Magic being racist, sexist, and homophobic.

Really, when did calling them commies stop being cool all of a sudden?

This.

This is a cracked.com article, people, extended to fit a book. "The Little Blue Book" gives the game away from the start.

EDIT:

Also this.

Going to French Wikipedia, and using google translate, I gathered that the idea was originally put forward in a fiction novel by a character obsessed over the subject, and the actual Little Blue Book is just an essay on the idea.

Well yeah, he wouldn't keep his balls blue. The Smurfs take their cultural heritage seriously.

Reminds me of that Tiger Lady book.

"Smurfs"

"anti-semitic"

"Nazis"

BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

The Smurfs aren't Nazis, they're propaganda tools of the New World Order trying to circumvent our nation's Christian morals. Duh.

You forgot reptialians!

This is totally true, folks. And if you don't agree with it, your Gentile privilege is showing.

Fucking Goys, man...
