We going to restrict Othello?Gone with the Wind banned deemed too racist
He's not even humanPapa Lazarou at no point is meant to be black, that's a particularly odd one
There's an awful lot of problematic stuff out there, some of it absolutely offensive if played straight. I appreciate the danger of normalising representations, but I'm nervous of restricting people's ability to see them as wrong.This is where by free speech absolutionism comes out. Art is allowed to be offensive!!

There’s also the whole forbidden fruit thing. Hiding things away gives them a cache they otherwise wouldn’t have. It’s not like you can erase media from the Internet.
That's a very good point.
I also have said for a while that I feel many people these days are too wrapped in cotton wool to deal with the realities of life.
I'm not saying expose everyone to mass murder like ISIS, but banning certain comedy like little britian (even though it is shite) is a step too far.
I better watch my old League Of Gentlemen DVDs before I get a knock at my door to send them to the bonfire.League of gentleman banned now
We going to restrict Othello?
Actually, this came out more sarcastic than I meant, but if we're stopping all literary works with dubious representations in them, we might end up with a very short canon!
(Oh, and not enough words here to go into what's wrong with his portrayal or, indeed Shylock in Merchant of Venice but it's not simple!)
For Papa Lazarou?League of gentleman banned now
The merchent of venice does have a problemAs well as Merchant of Venice which could be seen as massively anti-semitic and Taming of the Shrew is mysogynistic.
What a bastard! Down with the RSC! Time to burn the Globe again!
down with demonic ringleadersFor Papa Lazarou?
He at least stole wives of all colours and creeds.down with demonic ringleaders

Says the man who hero worships Gerry Adams.Who gives a fuck about his past, he was still choked to death live on camera.
so fuck off you inbred, small dicked, shit eating racist c**t.
It's a stain on this site vile cunts like you are still here @Nick
People raging at 'snowflakes' this morning because now The Inbetweeners has gone too, except it's just been taken off Youtube for licensing reasons to go to Britbox and is still available everywhere else it was before
The inbetweeners is gone?!?? What sad cunts some people are should be ashamed

But apart from that...No. It's been removed from an unofficial Youtube and is going on Britbox, is still available on All4 and gets repeated on various Channel 4 channels every week
Almost like he's a moronIt's almost as if you haven't read the posts literally before yours.

Seen some people mention that the titles coming off Netflix were also about to see their license expire and be moved onto Britbox. Were Netflix really concerned about racism or cheap publicity stunt?No. It's been removed from an unofficial Youtube and is going on Britbox, is still available on All4 and gets repeated on various Channel 4 channels every week
Some of them are mental. Robert Peel statue in Birmingham is on there because he invented policing! This is exactly how a campaign loses mainstream support. You've got something that nobody could really argue against, unless they're a racist, but the spotlight is on taking League of Gentlemen off Netflix and removed the blue plaque of the chap who first brought magnolias to the country.
