I also read one of the TV Show Sunrise ladies is in trouble for a racist comment she said, and apologised for, a good 5 years ago. 

Don't get me wrong I love a good stab at those kinds of people and those kinds of shows, but I'm not fully tracking the back tracking on things that have already been addressed to be truthful. 

If Netflix and/or Stan remove Community from their platforms because of all this I will be beyond upset. 

?

I think that’s aimed at Lilley. People has been saying things about his “comedy” for years, but it’s only years after the fact that it has become insulting enough to pull off air, when it was also lauded in its time (mostly by teenagers who would probably now be the woke ones)

?

If they go after Community I'm joining One Nation.

Move to QLD brother, they're gonna (not really lol) romp it in come election time.

I'm with ya.

Was confused by what you meant by “he”. I think you mean Lilley now.

They come after Brutalitops, we send Hector the well-endowed onto them. 

All the more reason to buy physical media.  

This is only the beginning.  

Wonder what those fucksticks would have to say about these comedy gold clips.

FFS.

Blackface, stereotypes, pisstaking of minorities.

Can't embed them for some reason.  (Ah it's because it's https.  I don't know why but that's what McJules told me.)

Or Ducane

Poor dude had his ancestors sword successfully rubbed balls on

Does make you wonder what the statutes of limitations is for stuff.like that.

I'm referencing also the furore and backlash Mark Waberg received recently.

Oh look another protest this weekend in which this one this time has actually been deemed illegal. 

Doesn't stop them going ahead with it. 

Selfish deluded fucking pieces of shit.

I'm sure plenty here think I'm a fuckstick but I find those videos completely unwatchable with my modern understanding of the world. I don't think they should be deleted off youtube, unfortunately youtube fills a role in archiving such footage but I don't think it should be promoted on commercial pay per view platforms like Netflix, Stan etc. At the very least not without a disclaimer providing context. 

People really do get outraged over little.

So an american tweeted this;
https://twitter.com/EttyTweets/status/1268844020559753216
and some americans discovered it for the first time and commented about it. Apparently that's Sam Armytage getting into trouble? 

The Wahlberg thing is again some people tweeting that they'll never forgive what he did as a kid.

Are we really that sensitive?

On top of that, she is now being sued for the below. It's almost as if she is consistently doing these things:

If we're happy to retroactively call out Sunrise's racism I'm honestly surprised old Kochie hasn't had this one dragged back out yet (I think about this one all the time, mostly because I was "lucky" enough to catch it live):

Again, it was one person on twitter tweeting a clip and a bunch of people from another country discovering it. How is any of it an issue? Do you support free speech? Why can't people have an opinion on something even if it happened 5,10,15, or 100 years ago? 

Even IF (and its a very unlikely if), she lost her job from it, her income is directly derived from eyeballs watching the show so that advertisers will pay to advertise to them. If a network was to decide they could make more money by having someone else in the position without that baggage... well that's just capitalism in all its glory.

I personally don't watch Sunrise because of all 3 of these incidents, and giving Pauline Hanson, Mark Latham and Co a far bigger platform than they should ever have been afforded. That's my choice, if Sunrise are still killing it in the rates then all power to them. If people eventually wake up to this stuff and they start to tank then that's all good for me too.

Our society, globally, seems to have gotten into a very hindsight-driven nature. Look at Kevin Spacey a few years back, they delved decades back to incriminate him. 

I'm like you, I personally don't watch (and can't stand) Sunrise because to me they are boring ignorant racist boomers, enabling some of the worst of our society. 

But what is right and wrong to look back to, I've got no idea personally where my line is drawn. Like I said though, if the communal decision is it's fair game to scrape all this nonsense back up, I'm wondering when they'll uncover the next spider lying underneath a rock.

In the meantime, leave Community on Netflix please. 

Pretty much agree with most of this. Those videos remind me of cringing when older men doing asian voices as a pisstake. 

Just like how we provide warnings for coarse language or violence, a notation saying "this video contains content that some may find offensive" is adequate. 

I mean ffs you can buy mein Kampf at bookstores, which usually contains a blurb outlining the evil nature and intention of the book. We should never move to erase things from existence, otherwise how do we learn to improve as a society? 

Thanks for the clarification. Yes where the draw the line is a difficult one. Everyone has got a platform now to air their opinion, uncovering spiders isn't the worst thing in the world IMO.

And yes, please leave Community alone and we need the movie!

I definitely missed something. What have people been saying about Community?

Netflix have removed The Mighty Boosh from their listing almost entirely because of Rudi van Disarzio, so there is genuine concern Chang as Brutalitops, or basically anything related to Pierce, will see Community suffer the same fate. 

Geez that's saying something if they go after a show like Community. Is now a bad time to shine some attention on shows South Park and Family Guy? 

The mighty Boosch now?

Oh FFS...

Yep they're gone next.

Might be time to cancel my Netflix subscription. I feel like I am condoning their attempts to act like they care about racism. 

Never watched community.  What's 'controversial' about it?

Nothing really, the "blackface" pv4 is referring to is not like the others. The character is portraying a fictional elf and is not trying to parody black humans in any way. Sure there's a chance that there might be an overreaction to trying to do the right thing but if it were to happen it already would have I reckon.
