A big part of it for me was seeing streaming companies removing episodes due to "modern sensibilities". Multiple censored IASIP episodes, removing the D&D episode of Community. I think this is going to happen more and more and I want all the content. Not just what was approved by some diversity group.

Agreed. I am as progressive as one can be, but there are limits.

Just a few months ago I realized I haven't seen one episode of The Office because Netflix removed it.

Just give the option to "show/hide" them. But don't hide them completely.

What episode of the office did they remove? That’s insane.

The one with the blackface joke. One of the characters - can't remember his name right now - appeared wearing blackface just for a few seconds as part of a joke implying that blackface was, well, inappropriate.
