Since October I've noticed that these episodes have been slowly picked off Paramount+ in Canada - in my province at least.

Given the current political climate I can at least think of a reason why they would ban the last 3 to theoretically avoid controversy (then again if they're banning specific episodes due to antisemitic themes you would think The Passion of the Jew would be the first to go, but those are still up lol), but I'm sort of puzzled as to why the first 4 have been taken off? I don't remember anything in these episodes that would warrant them being removed over any other episode. There are plenty of worse ones out there, why do you think they removed those?

This generation sucks. I grew up thinking "wow southpark says dafuq they want because freedom of speech" And after I grew, as an adult, I see how the new generation fails us, we can't say anything true on TV,. but when someone says lies, they'd probably air it, because they pay well, because their lies gets good money. I'm about to give up on this world

South Park was hard core about free speech in the 2000’s. So much so that they went to ridiculous lengths to have it and forced Comedy Central to air it.
