I just ran into some interesting stealth censorship/editing of a TV show rerun that has to have been done post riots. A bit of a long story to get to it:
I loved The Office when it was on and most anytime I want just a quick 20 minutes of TV without searching through current crap that's out there, will just rewatch an episode of The Office. Additionally, The Office is leaving Netflix next year for I guess Peacock, so I've started watching all the seasons in order again before it's gone.
So I just watched Season 9, "Dwight's Christmas", in which German ancestry Dwight throws a Pennsylvania Dutch traditional office Christmas party. He does the Belshnikel theme, which without going into great detail is sort of like Krampus. All his coworkers think it is made up, but then the office liberal looks it up on Wiki and finds it's a real tradition.
Additionally (here comes the censoring) Belshnikel is usually accompanied by an imp, generally portrayed by a person in blackface. When this is read out loud, the black guy in the office says, "no way". Dwight spouts some stuff about, "Come on - we adjust for modern times. No way I'd do that". While he says this, you see him texting on his phone. Then we get a scene where Dwight's assistant is seen walking to the office building dressed up in blackface, reads the text, and does a 180 back to his car. Except when I watched the episode today, all you see is Dwight texting on his phone, then it goes to a completely different scene.
They censored the blackface joke out of it, even though this is a show extremely popular with liberals, and the scene is very comical and expected for the character. But now it's gone. Interestingly, later in the episode, they keep the scene where Dwight's assistant is now at the Christmas party out of his costume and with his blackface removed, except he forgot to wash off the lips and remove the portion of nappy hair on the back of his head.
This same episode has played through countless protests over the last I guess seven years, but couldn't survive the latest cancel culture. I have to wonder what other shows are being "stealth censored" for innocuous scenes because network SJWs are on a micro-aggression warpath.
It has additionally gotten me to thinking I'd like to see if I can find Reno 911 streaming anywhere. That show (filled with super liberal actors) said the N word like every other episode, as well as made malt liquor and fried chicken style jokes all the time. I have the DVDs of all the seasons, so the censors can't get to me, but I'm betting that if they did this to The Office, there's no way Reno 911 survived the SJWs. I'd be interested to see just how much those episodes got butchered.
If they're doing this with TV shows*, you have to wonder what other "censors" in other mediums are stealth editing small things here and there to essentially change TV, books, and who knows what else to make them "appropriate" to one certain segment of current society.
*And yes, I realize they have been doing this for a good while with older TV shows, cartoons, etc. However The Office is a modern TV show, designed by liberals, who are, only a few short years after the series ended, now no longer PC enough. Kinda scary stuff when we're talking five years instead of fifty years in the cultural change department.
