I was super confused when I got to the second D&D episode of Community. Turns out, streaming banned the first one because an Asian man wears drowface. He appropriated dark elf culture. Eventually I pirated the episode and was very happy. Good story.

Naming and shaming all "recurring spending models" where a one-time fee (or none at all) would be appropriate and logical.
Expect use of strong language.
Follow the basic rules of lemmy.world and common sense, and try to have fun if possible.
No flamewars or attacking other users, unless they're spineless corporate shills.
Note that not all subscriptions are awful. Supporting your favorite ~~camgirl~~ creator or Lemmy server on Patreon is fine. An airbag with subscription is irl Idiocracy-level dystopian bullshit.
New community rule: Shilling for cunty corporations, their subscriptions and other anti-customer practices may result in a 1-day ban. It's so you can think about what it's like when someone can randomly decide what you can and can't use, based on some arbitrary rules. Oh what, you didn't read this fine print? You should read what you're agreeing to.

That one pissed me off because the whole joke was him being blissfully unaware of the potential racial connotations of his dark black face makeup and everyone being like "Woah what the fuck man." Like the joke wasn't "Haha look at this caricature of black people" it was "Haha look at this dumbass doing something racist by mistake."
The first D&D episode is so good, and it's unfortunate that you miss what was an excellent story because of overreaching insensitivity.
It's the best and most heartfelt episode of the series. I feel bad for the actor that played fat Neil.They even address the blackface in the episode. I don't know who are the mental midgets who make these decisions. Also, the cut episode of Bob and David is also idiotic.

Proof that piracy is the best solution to overcome authoritarianism.
Why the fuck would they remove Big Gay Al's Big Gay Boat Ride?
Also, cancelling Cancelled it peak irony.
Because it celebrates inclusion.
Kinda amazing that they would pull Big Gay Al, when that episode was lauded for presenting a gay guy as basically a normal, reasonable guy. One of the healthiest adults on the show.
But they don’t pull the “being trans is like wanting to be black to be better at basketball, or turning yourself into a dolphin”?
There’s something so fucked about the removal of that particular episode. South Park can be straight up homophobic at points, why would you take down one of the more positive episodes?
It's even blocked on southpark.cc.com! WTF
That makes zero sense.
Like that episode won a GLAAD award. Why would you remove something that was pretty historic in portraying gay people as normal and healthy?
I can’t really think of anything wrong with that episode, even by non South Park standards. This is really gross.
This is legitimately one of my favorite television episodes ever. Like, across all shows. It’s perfect in every way and such an amazing time capsule from the 90s.
So dumb, the episodes exist and can be watched without much hassle. Why even ban them? It's not changing the fact they exist and some of the best episodes.
Because most people people are stupid, emotional animals that couldn't critically think their way out of a paper bag.
It's the answer to SO many questions.
Anyone know where I can download the entire series for my server?
Edit: thank y'all I'll take a look when I get home!
fmhy.net
Qbit torrent has direct downloads these days.
I just downloaded the entire 130gb mega folder from 1337 lol
probably not gonna watch past the first few seasons but it gets my seed ratio up in the long term I'm not complaining
