I hate the censorship. But when some groups are willing to kill if you don’t censor then I can’t blame others for not wanting to be martyrs and put their lives

- jrflowers 1y agoWhat groups are you talking about
- deleted 1y ago[deleted]
- more_corn 1y agoPublish a cartoon about the prophet Mohamed and some of the groups will make themselves known to you.
- red-iron-pine 1y agoremoving "fly me to the moon" from the end of NGE has nothing to do with Islam. the Islamic prohibition on the Prophet isn't new, is something they take seriously and always have, and is not happening at the whim of the studio execs.
- jrflowers 1y agoWhat does that very specific example have to do with broad censorship as a phenomenon in media? Like how often do you think TV networks and streaming services are removing depictions of Mohammed in the stuff they make or license?
- throwawaylaptop 1y agoDid you really not know the answer or were you asking just to force the answer?
- Dylan16807 1y agoI can't think of any answer that makes sense in this context (widespread tv show editing).
- dotancohen 1y agoNot TV show editing, rather a satire magazine, but a now-deleted reply mentioned that Charlie Hebdo was pressured to censor and would not. They had staff members murdered because they would not censor.
- Dylan16807 1y agoThat is a thing that happened. But if it's what socalgal2 was talking about, then their comment was a non-sequitur. They saw the word censorship and rambled something almost entirely unrelated to the topic at hand. That's why it's worth asking what they're talking about.
- dotancohen 1y agoThey were responding to a comment about piracy not self-centering extant works. I could see where the comment does sequitur, just barely. Perhaps he is pushing an agenda, perhaps he was making conversation. I can see far further OT comments all up and down this post.
- Dylan16807 1y agoMy issue is less with taking a tangent but the way the comment is framed as if it's a justification for what services are doing. Maybe one south park episode can be half-justified that way, and basically nothing else.
- dotancohen 1y agoI see what you're saying now. I'm not familiar with the South Park episode but I think I understand you.
- JodieBenitez 1y agoNot directly related to streaming services, but this happened: https://www.lemonde.fr/societe/article/2025/08/13/noisy-le-sec-annule-la-diffusion-du-film-barbie-apres-des-pressions-d-habitants_6629053_3224.html https://www.lemonde.fr/societe/article/2025/08/13/noisy-le-s... I can definitely see how streaming services would adapt to bigots.
