Times have changed, but some things remain. Fans of one of the longest running gags in the history of The Simpsons can relax again.
It’s been about a week since it started spreading on the internet messagethat The Simpsons they retire one of their longest running running gags with Bart strangling. At the same time, the original information came about because in one of the last episodes of the series, Homer said something to the effect that times have changed and he doesn’t do this anymore.

At first glance, such a statement made a lot of sense, and it also meant that the creators of the series were moving their characters somewhere after all. But shortly after articles about “woke” Homer began to fill the airwaves and some die-hard Springfield Yellowjackets set off for yet another battle in the trenches of the culture wars, the show’s creators took the floor themselves to set the record straight.

First, producers through the server Variety posted a cartoon of Homer strangling Bart with the words “You tiny clickbait!”, which in itself was enough to cause several sites to issue corrections. Subsequently, everything was confirmed by the co-author himself The Simpsons James L. Brooks.
He in an interview for People.com stated that nothing would change. “Nothing will be tamed. Nothing, nothing, nothing. He will continue to be strangled – if you want to use that horrible term for it. And his father will continue to love him in his own special way,” the TV veteran assured fans.

So it seems that times have changed, but some things remain. Although as you correctly noted IGN, Homer hasn’t actually strangled Bart in quite some time. The last time this happened was in the 31st series, which ran on television in 2019.
