Growing up, it was acceptable to shoot a Rodian before giving him a chance to shoot you.
But blackface is clearly prohibited today. So there's two choices for art like this: edit it, or it doesn't get shown publicly again. I'm only arguing that I'd prefer the former to the latter.
- vorpalhex 6y agoThere's a third choice - just show it unedited. Put a disclaimer if needed. You can still buy a copy of mein kampf and read the loonery Hitler wrote. You don't learn from history by denying it's existence.
- anotherman554 6y agoI'd be fine with making the mouse cartoon available for people who want to study/ experience cartoon history but not showing it unedited on a streaming service where most people who watch it are kids.
- vorpalhex 6y agoBut Game of Thrones which features torture and rape is fine to show unedited? Either what these censored cartoons showed is somehow worse than realistic depictions of rape and torture.. or we're being inconsistent.
