I personally have felt that MAME has been essentially unproduceable for some years now, long before Charlottesville, for the very reason you state. Even though OBVIOUSLY the show does not offer a positive view of the Confederacy, the humor of that entire sequence revolves around Southerners who are clinging to the ideology of the Confederacy. And I'm not sure that many people can view any of that as funny anymore, not even in a very spoofing sort of way.
I also feel that, unfortunately, the show is hopelessly dated in the humor it derives, or attempts to derive, from the situation of an unwed mother abandoned by the man who made her pregnant, but I know a lot of people disagree with me on that point.
Just my opinion. |
