But my response won't change, I think the man explained the reasoning behind the decision well enough and the reasoning is sound. It's also a non-issue for me either way if they instead decided to air the ep. I just don't care, man. I'm not going push hard to be angered over a nothing issue.

Here is the thing: can you explain how it's okay if someone says they are against book burning of *any kind*? What kind of explanation explains away that going after your own shit falls under the purview of that?

Just acknowledge the contradiction. It's okay, reality will not harm you Rob. Surtur guarantee's your safety 👆

How is this analogous to book burning? They aren't going around destroying DVDs with the episode, they are merely no longer airing it. It's akin to no longer printing a certain book but not to book burning.

So explain why the guy brought up book burning. He specifically brought it up. If he didn't think it compared I'm open to theories of why he mentioned it. Looking forward to it.

Bingo.

The episode will be put in storage, will likely be available at some very distant future date.

^Have the shit make sense too 👆

FFS, Surt. He's saying he doesn't believe in censorship, but he reserves the right to censor himself, so to speak. Which is sensible. You're really scrapping hard to find something to be angered over when this is really a nothing issue.

If it's about censorship then he's saying he doesn't believe in censorship of any kind, but he did it anyways.

Christ almighty, why can't you admit this? It's his literal words lol. It's getting sad you can't even acknowledge he contradicted himself when he clearly did. Just admit it. It won't hurt I promise.

So you're against someone self-censoring now it seems. Lolz.

See what I mean, you're scrapping long dried dog shit streaks off the pavement to find something to be bothered about here.

See what I mean? You're a piece of trash and lying again. I'm not against it, I'm merely saying he contradicts himself.

Do better Rob. Or CAN you acknowledge the damn contradiction?

Dude, calm down. Saying I'm against censorship and then self-censoring isn't being a hypocrite; that's a personal choice.

Saying you're against censorship of *any kind* is the detail that matters.

And just quit with your silly "calm down" shit. Nobody is angry. Real talk kid.

You just called me a "lying piece of trash", not calm guy.

Not really though, it's like saying you're against drug restrictions and want drugs legalized, but don't personally use them yourself. No contradiction as you're not stopping anyone cept yourself. You're done here now; maybe go take a nap?

If calling you a lying piece of trash equates to anger, any time you've called me a phaggot means the same.

But you know what? You're trolling again. You won't ever acknowledge the truth, you aren't capable of it. Real talk.

Dude, I just explained it with an analogy you can relate to (ie drugs). There's no hypocrisy here as the man is self-censoring and that's his personal choice.

Now if let's say Family Guy was airing an MJ ep and he had said "I'm against censorship, but Seth McFarlane shouldn't air the MJ video", sure, that would be a contradiction on the man's part. So you're done here again, this isn't the hill you want to get eSodomized on.

Yeah, you're trolling and are trash. You know that saying you're against all kinds of censorship contradicts any kind of censorship, but you wanna argue like you always do. Real talk, right Rob?

It's no different from Rockstar Games removing the ability to fly planes from GTA3 after 9/11. Being against an outside authority forcing you to change your art isn't the same as doing it yourself out of respect for victims of a crime.

Now if he was saying he's against censorship while saying that everyone else who has produced music/TV shows/movies that profit from Michael Jackson should be forced to withdraw their products then that would be hypocritical.

^ Surt, here it's explained again with another analogy. No one is trolling you, you're simply wrong here.

Thing is, he's wrong, but I believe he's legit in his ignorance. You...are just a troll. I feel you know better, but pretend otherwise.

Cuz see he didn't say he's against outside authorities changing stuff. He didn't get that specific. So nah, that analogy is done with. You glad or mad over that fact?
