LOL.

We pay for 4K, but we don't get more than 720p unless we use some proprietary shit hardware and agree to their super-invasive "privacy policy" - and they expect people to NOT set sail in the high seas? GTFO..

Amen. Weird how people feel the need to insert it into random places. Cant think of any TV show that got hit from that!

The DnD episode of Community didn't need to be removed from all streaming platforms...

It’s amazing to me that people can cite a single example of canceling that is gray area or they otherwise feel is wrong and they think that that somehow invalidates the idea of a boycott, removing things, or just finding something distasteful in general. It’s baffling really.

I can cite 100 instances of domestic violence or comparable crimes in the NFL and that’s not enough. But one episode of a show is removed, and everything about being progressive or liberal or pointing out racism in media is suddenly invalidated.

There are a lot of insanely dicey jokes and moments in community that get a pass. I love the show, but let’s be real here. I think it is missing the forest for the trees when it comes to removing “advanced dungeons and dragons” as an episode, but ultimately, it’s a small con in what is generally a very valid exercise. Plus it’s not like it was erased from existence.

You're attributing a lot of things to me that I never said. On the whole though, I don't disagree with you.

You’re right I could’ve been more clear that that was more of a general statement. It’s just always the one that comes up with this implied “…and that’s why cancelling is bad.”
