Adult Swim cancels show

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.

"whites are not an ethnic group so the comparison to Japan is inaccurate" ."Whites are an artificial social construct designed for the purpose of privilege".

It's very simple. White people are victims of their own success. They created too much "peace", which allows weak cucks to multiply.

When the weak multiply they realize that they can't compete, and change the rules, hence Marxism and Socialism. This creates more cucks and weakness the longer it goes on.

This only ends one of two ways:

1) Strong whites purge their society of the weak.
2) Whites are replaced.

...The fuck? :confused:
 
How can that show be described as "alt right"? Anyways, the scene with the girl being tripped onto the glass table is actually pretty funny :P Not the tripping or bleeding, but thats not the point if the sketch..
 
So, what really happened with the alt-right (as described by interesting youtube Jeff Holliday) is that much it started as ironic shitposting making fun of SJWs and testing the limits of Poe. But what happened is that it started to draw in people who are truly white nationalist and so on. So the people who were just taking the piss left.

This show was made at the time that the alt right was just starting to get steam.

I would say that this show is more a product of /pol/ type trolling than anything else. /pol/ is way older than the alt-right.
