   @mav that sounds like removing episodes, not editing out scenes.

   Should Netflix have just removed Ken Jeong's drowface scenes and shots and run the rest of the episode?

     @evan My canonical examples of why this is bad are

     Community 2x14 Advanced Dungeons & Dragons - one of the best episodes of the entire series. The entire episode is literally about how being a hateful bigot is bad, and it got pulled from Netflix because of a joke at the beginning where one of the players appears made up as his _fictional character_.

     30 Rock 5x10 Christmas Attack Zone - yes, it's a dumb joke, but the entire point of Jenna and Tracy's characters is that they're *bad people* with occasionally redeeming qualities. Actually, I suppose that's the point of literally every character on 30 Rock. Everyone's a shithead except Milton Greene
