Many felt that story, and the fourth-wall-breaking final moments, missed the point of Hari Kondabolu’s work.
However, The Simpsons itself responded slightly more negatively in the Season 29 episode “No Good Read Goes Unpunished.”
This was further echoed by Matt Groening’s comments saying that “people love to pretend they’re offended.”
In that ep, Marge edits a beloved book from her childhood to remove the “politically incorrect” material, and then realizes it took away from what made the book special.
