A TV network has a different evaluation process than a viewer. They have always had to balance 'artistic integrity' with reality (which basically means, MONEY STUFF). The highest rated shows, movies and music in America are almost always 'FLUFF', with some exceptions of course. They are popular because they are NOT controversial. Lots of car crashes, family crap, boring rap or cookie cutter country music. All to do with mass acceptance and $$$.
You will never see "edgy" stuff on ABC. Even Adult Swim has limits of weirdness and pushing the limit. So does YouTube, etc....A business decision to shut down the show....who cares...that's THEIR call. I can name 50 popular shows cancelled in the last 50 years. It's routine. Nothing new.
It's only a problem from a censorship point of view, if there is NO other avenue for artist expression. In this case, the makers can easily continue what they are doing with other avenues of distribution.
-If left leaning groups wanted to completely BAN anything objectionable from EVERYWHERE, that would be over reach.
-If right leaning groups DEMANDED that networks air THEIR shows, that would be over reach.
Everyone has an outlet for expression with the internet and anyone can choose what they like to watch, no matter how weird and anti-social. As long as all the participants are consenting adults, you can make any show you want and it should be available to anybody who wants to see it.
The problems only arise when some"groups" want to ban, physically harm or jail other "groups" because they don't approve of the content.
