The stupidest censorship I’ve seen like this is Community’s first DnD episode. Chang dresses up as a drow and that is considered “blackface” even though they address it in the episode that he isn’t black but a drow. So goodbye episode on streaming.
Do you think this isn’t an obvious reference to blackface? The joke doesn’t make sense if blackface had never been a thing, so it’s a joke about blackface. And that’s bad.
Community is my favorite show and this episode is fantastic. But pretending it’s not blackface just because “he’s actually a drow!!!” is so stupid.
Haven’t seen the episode, but it seems clear they’re making fun of blackface.
You’re right but it seems like most people still missed that as the majority of comments think the joke is that it isn’t blackface (rather than very clearly too close to blackface and Chang, somehow, not registering that).
Oh, man. A Drow in a long-sleeved Guayabera. That’s an insult to my Cuban heritage. Keep it banned. /s
Time for piracy to make a swift comeback.
Why you’re not pirating. You’re just training your LLM.
Proof that piracy is the best solution to overcome authoritarianism.
Why the fuck would they remove Big Gay Al’s Big Gay Boat Ride?
Also, cancelling Cancelled is peak irony.
Has anyone watched the most recent season of The Rehearsal? Nathan mentions that an episode of his previous show “Nathan for You” was taken off Paramount Plus because it had a segment where he started a fashion line where the profits would go toward holocaust education and remembrance. So even though this was a positive thing, it still brings up the holocaust and is therefore too sensitive subject to air. He then proceeds to paint Paramount Plus as literal Nazis in proceeding episodes to drive his point home. Highly recommend if you haven’t seen his new show yet.
