Talk:Reno Wilson

The fact that Reno Wilson made all of Frenzy's dialog without being filtered or anything, (besides the Oh shi-)...Reno's page or Frenzy's? --Terrocon Blot 18:19, 30 August 2007 (UTC)

I say both. --Andrusi 01:56, 31 August 2007 (UTC)

Self-Offense?

There's a note that "Apparently, as Mudflap, he was horrendously offensive to himself. That surprised him." However, all of his quotes in the cited article make it sound like he wasn't offended at all and didn't see Mudflap's portrayal as being worth the fuss. I think there's an incongruity here. - Caswin 21:19, 26 April 2012 (EDT)

The point is that people claimed his portrayal was offensive to black people, which surprised him. And since he himself is black, he was apparently offensive to himself. -- Dark T Zeratul 21:48, 26 April 2012 (EDT)

If it's supposed to be a joke, it doesn't read like one. I've never heard anyone, including the article, try to say that all black people were offended by his character... or is it a joke? I'm still not sure that I follow. - Caswin 22:52, 26 April 2012 (EDT)

One of the widespread reactions to ROTF was that people thought Skids and Mudflap were racist caricatures of black people. Did you read the article linked to in the citation? It explains the note. --abates 23:14, 26 April 2012 (EDT)

I did, and I know that many people (enough to merit writing an article on the subject on the widespread reaction) were offended by their appearance. However, the note simply says, "as Mudflap, he was horrendously offensive to himself. That surprised him." If I'm reading Dark T Zeratul correctly, it sounds like it's supposed to make fun of the controversy, but even then, it doesn't make a whole lot of sense. - Caswin 23:24, 26 April 2012 (EDT)
