Summary
Tom Hanks reprised his 2016 “MAGA” character, Doug, on Saturday Night Live’s 50th anniversary episode, sparking backlash from Trump supporters.
The sketch, Black Jeopardy!, featured Doug again hesitating to shake hands with a Black host.
Conservative commentators criticized the portrayal as outdated and offensive, calling it an unfair caricature of Trump voters.
Yes. Don’t need to beat around the bush with Nazis. Just say it like it is.
The issue is that to appease your anti-fascist fervor, we have to break grammar rules and phrase things awkwardly.
For Tom Hanks to portray his MAGA character as a Nazi, which is what the OC is saying would be needed to update the skit, he would have to make the character look like a Nazi to the audience. Having him be a Nazi in the script doesn’t benefit the audience. The audience needs to get that he’s a Nazi by having him look like one.
Seems a minor point to be harping on OC about.
Well, they have me blocked, so I can’t address their issues. I don’t even see their original comment in my inbox.
