Yeah. There's a local show here that ran for ages that has aged very, very badly, especially the interaction with women and how, for example, they're always pinched in the rear end which is just played as a harmless joke.

Watching it now you're like "holy poo poo how did we ever think that was funny?"

It's always on repeats and I could see how they wouldn't want to actively broadcast some of the worst episodes.

Still don't think it should be removed from streaming though. Yes, media used to be a lot more racist/sexist/... all the ists. Acknowledge it and improve, don't try to erase that it happened.

I’m black and it kinda feels disingenuous and perfunctory to remove those eps. That’s just me though, maybe other people of color found it offensive but “this character is so stupid they thought doing blackface in their lovely Lethal Weapon reboot, that’s the joke, how stupid and lovely they are” is still pretty funny to me.

I appreciate your opinion and taking the time to type it up. I happen to agree. However, some white nerds in this thread have said it's awful and not funny in any way and we are in fact a horrible people for laughing at it. Feels bad man.

Wasn't the "what are the rules?" stuff in that episode a bit of meta commentary?

They didn't do black face in the episode. So it doesn't fall under the blanked black face Hulu ban.

The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents. We live on a placid island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of infinity, and it was not meant that we should voyage far.

I'm not gonna' go off about somebody buying me a goddamn blackface avatar aside from saying, what the gently caress must it take for somebody who does that to think they're the babyface here?

But the next time this conversation happens, I'm gonna' try my damndest to only say "can we not?"

Because I would also very much like it if we could not.

And if y'all are as gung-ho on not wanting to see or engage with an awful loving pages-long derail about blackface like I am, maybe shut down the topic with me, will ya'? I don't ever want to talk about this ever again ever just as much as you never want to hear about how uncomfortable it makes me when people complain about how blackface is censored.

It's also an episode very much about white privilege and racial discrimination, it would be absolutely wild if that one got pulled for racism

Thank you. Can I actually do this? Like, click on a TVIV mod, send 'em a message, and not have to pay ten bucks for people on the forums to not think I picked a horrendously racist avatar on purpose?

Yea mods will likely remove that avatar if you ask. Not sure if you have to ask in TVIV, any forums with an active mod probably can take care of it. Also it's only $5 if you want to change your own avatar. :eng101:

Thank you for being helpful. Person before you to. Took your advice and texted a mod.

I shouldn't have to let somebody who spent money to make me look racist force me to spend money I really can't spare right now to not look racist.

That's really, *really* hosed up.

I’m sure mods can check logs, but I can vow it was nothing to do with me. I don’t like spending money on my own account, so I’m sure as hell not gonna do it to someone else’s.

First, who memorizes avatars.

Secondly its a black smilie face made to look angry, it isn't a real person, this isn't racist, its a smilie emoji


This thread is as dumb as the characters on Its Always Sunny, except it isn't funny.
