That's weird lol imagine if WWE would have removed that whole WrestleMania instead of just the Piper blackface

even worst it's like 20 seconds

 

[Smart Marx]

I'd be so pissed if whole shows on WWE got axed. I think there are rules against edited someone else's work, though, when it comes to TV and film.

 

[Hoss]

The worst thing I can think of that has been removed due to oversensitivy is season 2 episode 14 of Community

What was that one?

 

[Kim Jong Umb]

I mean scrubs creator decided to take it down after reading few comments

 

[Comrade Khan]

Their rebuttal after I pointed it out was because of the discrimination poc already have to overcome in tv it shouldn't be equal and that's the problem. I wanted to knock myself out on a brick wall.

yeah im liberal myself but i dont buy those arguments either. the best way is to include poc/lgbtq ppl as normal characters that die (in this case) like eveyrone else and are not defined by their colour or sexuality

 

[Comrade Khan]

so their argument is fucking dumb lol

 

[Hoss]

At least in many of the other cases, things got removed for actually being racially insensitive somehow (although many are still huge stretches to get offended by)

 

[Hoss]

In the case of Community they removed the episode because of this

 

[Comrade Khan]

yikes

 

[Comrade Khan]

yeah i can understand lol

 

[Kiffy Lube]

Is that offensive to goblins?

 

[Hoss]

Man was literally depicting an elf in a game of Dungeons and Dragons

Thank you. That's my belief and I thin that's what the showrunner was trying to do. They hired pretty equally across the board and then treated them all the same.

oh so he was a dark elf lol
