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.

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.

Proof that piracy is the best solution to overcome authoritarianism.

This is legitimately the exact example I cite when explaining to people why I pirate. It's not just about about stuff being moved around across an ever increasing amount of services. The ability to pretend entire episodes don't even exist(super best friends and 200/201 have been banned for awhile now, long before this) is why I returned to piracy.

Why the fuck would they remove Big Gay Al's Big Gay Boat Ride?

Also, cancelling Cancelled is peak irony.

I was super confused when I got to the second D&D episode of Community. Turns out, streaming banned the first one because an Asian man wears drowface. He appropriated dark elf culture. Eventually I pirated the episode and was very happy. Good story.

So dumb, the episodes exist and can be watched without much hassle. Why even ban them? It's not changing the fact they exist and some of the best episodes.

Most of these replies seem to be missing the reason. Paramount is trying to merge and needs FCC approval and the Trump administration has been using the FCC as a cudgel to keep them in line.

Never watched this show, but isn't the point of the show basically to be saturatingly offensive? Why would you remove a shotgun-scatter subset of episodes?

Great. Now I know which ones to watch.

Thanks for letting me know. Bout time for a rewatch.

It's just a full season of their greatest episodes you're not getting, that's all. Pay up.

Imagine paying for Paramount Plus at all. I just stopped paying for it (card expired) and nothing changed. This was like a year ago, I never fixed the issue. Still watching a bunch of Star Trek. I don't think they run a very tight ship over there at Paramount, lol.

When I discovered South Park studios, I legit stopped pirating south park. It was great. Good (enough) quality, access to every episode afaik, and easy to use. Then they switched to Hulu for sps and it went to shit: ads, videos failing to load, ads failing to load in the middle of the video causing it to reset from the beginning, only a few seasons available at any particular time, etc.

Fuck all that shit.

Just watch them on their website for free https://www.southparkstudios.com/

These are some of the best episodes ever. Boo on them for being censors

Dont support the service. Plain simple. Well, I know you guys dont, but yea... just my 2 cents nobody asked for :D

The real surprise is why anyone wastes money on any of those overpriced steaming services. It's not a typo. I'd rather take a minor hit in resolution than pay those crap companies.

I still remember Adult Swim removing the Cowboy Bebop episode where they are flying in the Space Shuttle Columbia.

fuck streaming services. just pirate it.

The irony of pulling cartoon wars

What was the controversy in Simpsons Did It? All I remember is the epitomal line.

Imagine going to thrift stores for 15 minutes after work and ending up with all of these on DVD?
