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?

I understand Jewpacabra and Gingercow given the state of the world. Canceled seems like an overreaction. The rest I have no idea.

Bottom line here should be to remind people if they don’t like it there is absolutely nothing forcing them to watch it they are perfectly capable of not pressing on South Park if they find it offensive. Why do these massive corporations always pander to a small minority of cry baby’s that could simply just not watch?

How the hell will the Middle East achieve peace if we can’t usher in the ten years of van halen.

Tbf paramount have a habit of just randomly removing episodes of shows without warning and for no real reason ( the Mrs watches teen mom and they remove and re-add random episodes constantly)

Most of the time though it can be due to the rights of certain things lapsing

For example big gay Al's big gay boat ride, maybe the rights to sing the song 'loving you' ran out so it's off until they reinstate it?

Simpsons already did it- could be a case that fox/Disney are unhappy with the Simpsons being name checked in the title etc

It can't be because of the risqué/ controversial nature of titles (in case of big gay Al or Jewbacabra) if sexual harrasment panda isn't removed

So that would be my guess as to why, as I'm sure not all of these are removed in my country

Really tempted to just go and buy the blurays of every season and specials so I don't have to worry about fave episodes being pulled.

I was wondering why S6 E7 got removed and I had to really stretch my mind. Then I was dying from laughter

no people just need to stop being so fragile all the time. people are going to say things specifically to get under your skin and bother you the more you show it bothers you the more they’re gonna do it.

[–] xfatalerror@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

ironic how they remove these but not the death camp of tolerance

edit: also canadian and recently just watched a few of these, funny how they pull them so fast

[–] Get_Some_Help_Man@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

So they want to remove every episode where cartman is antisemitic, which is most of the show.

[–] Shaianh10@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Max still has all those episodes

[–] Pharmernick@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

[–] p_serrulata@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I don't know. These are all pretty harmless episodes.

[–] Forsaken-Bet5596@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

"Two Days Before the Day After Tomorrow" is such a funny title lol

... Why'd they take that one off?
