dcro 10,179 Posted July 9, 2020 #1242 Share Posted July 9, 2020 Again... Freedom of expression does not imply removing content whenever some issue becomes sensitive. Quasit 1 #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olympian1010 7,470 Posted July 9, 2020 #1243 Share Posted July 9, 2020 Just to clarify, I’m not upset it wasn’t removed. I was just more shocked that they left it on Netflix given how much it mirrors the current situation (even if it is still very outlandish). It uses police brutality in response to a student protest as a punchline at one point, and it’s a little hard to laugh at that having seen the police do that IRL for the last month of so. “Sport has the power to change the world.

Networks think they're doing something by removing these episodes or movies from their platforms but it just villainizes the movement when they're not even asking for this, it gives an opportunity to the opponents to make them look bad.

Federer91 2,127 Posted July 9, 2020 #1245 Share Posted July 9, 2020 But they did remove the blackface episode, even though there is an actual story and plot in it. Because we need to protect that Netlix/Hulu image/stock, am i right.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Censorship always backfires against the censors. Damnatio memorae is just another form of censorship. Stalin did it so why can't Netflix do it? We live in such progressive times the liberals are taking lessons from ancient emperors and Joseph Stalin himself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
