This is bizarre, willfully blind take in a world where Always Sunny is one of the longest running comedy series of all time.

If anything, their point is somewhat made because someone made the decision to remove IASIP episodes from legal streaming options. https://www.reddit.com/r/IASIP/comments/hgbrs8/hulu_has_removed_five_episodes_of_iasip/ https://www.reddit.com/r/IASIP/comments/hgbrs8/hulu_has_remo... And if you are familiar with the show, they are not prejudiced at all. But whoever chose to remove them is doing the "cover your ass" move, so I can certainly see some merit in what ryandrake is saying. 30 rock episodes were removed too: https://www.cnn.com/2020/06/23/entertainment/30-rock-episodes-blackface-trnd/index.html https://www.cnn.com/2020/06/23/entertainment/30-rock-episode...

  Thanks for that, I've been watching through the whole lot while indoor cycling (I started to see what the fuss was about, so I have to finish now, but it's not really my sort of thing so I watch it when I can't pay full attention to whatever I watch) on Netflix and noticed some gaps compared to my tracker app. One of them was that 'takes out the trash' episode, so must be the same (link is about Hulu). I really don't like this trend. Honestly, satire or not. Rate it appropriately, and let me decide what I'm comfortable viewing? It just seems petty and mollycoddling to prevent me watching something because at some point within it something that may or may not be offensive to me or others happens. I actually don't even understand the reasoning? Do the producers request it to protect the reputation of the programme, perceiving it as a risk?

  And Community. An episode was focused on a D&D game, and one character was cosplaying as a drow elf, with facepaint. Removed because of 'blackface'.
