Muricans are small minded and have no concept of outside world
PuppersArtAndScience
Sad thing this is a great episode that addresses a lot of emotional heavy topics.

An Asian man dressed up as an elf. How is this even remotely racist or offensive.
Sheldonian
It's definitely one of the best episodes because the paintball ones and floor is lava are pretty epic too
PuppersArtAndScience
I liked Pierce's video game inheritance episode
Gianttesticlemonster
The fort wars was great too
doctorwombat
Just watched it again last night. Fantastic
Thymantistoboggan
I'm a dude playing a dude disguised as another dude.
clayford
weird - I always thought Drow were a odd blue/purple tinge...
grrayghost
I believe makeup artists use a dark blue shade because it actually looks darker than black on camera
clayford
like this,
grrayghost
Sorry I knew what you meant. Was just pointing out that while it may look black, it's probably not black makeup
SomeDetroitGuy
They are now. Back in the day they were explicitly black.
PresumablyPyro
Yeah I feel it would've been better if he was purple

holy shit, i haven’t read that name in at least 20 years

In the midst of the new Starlight Enclave!! It's fantastic!!

They called this racist, because he's cosplaying as a Drow......as a black dude, I find it racist people associate us with Drow.
kodiak931155
Ither then them being jet black and some people being black your society and the drow dont have much in common. Of anything I would say the

This is Chevy Chase's funniest episode

They should just CGI him a different color because the message of the episode is important. We have the technology !

How let the Drow out? Hoo! Hoo-Hoo! Hoo! Who let the Drow out?

jammer909
Removed the anti-suicide episode, because a character was portraying a fictional character, and because the portrayal could have been...
jammer909
... seen as unintentionally racist, and the character was unaware, which was THE WHOLE POINT OF THE JOKE; so out of fear of being called ...
jammer909
... racist, the networks pulled it. Genuinely bothersome, especially considering that at the time, people were crying for an end to ...
jammer909
... race-based police brutality, and systematic racism. They didn't say "pull that episode of Community", they said "stop shooting...
jammer909
... innocent black people". Instead of listening to that, they did little meaningless things like pulling this episode, all so they ...
jammer909
... could say " See, we're not racist, please give us your money". Missed the whole point, or didn't really care what the point was.
HobbitHouse
it is a man in black makeup, but he’s playing an elf so I’m confused about why it’s considered blackface - thought that was folks 1/2
HobbitHouse
2/2 Imitating black people? I’m a white girl so I’m trying to understand. Legitimately
vDorothyv
It's an overreaction by legal departments who don't care to understand nuance. They more care about being sued.
JayEnfield
Context and nuance are irrelevant. Only outrage matters.
heartlessninja6
Because by their logic only minorities can play fictional characters of color. Now excuse me while I watch White Chicks followed by Hamilton
rowdypup
The King in Hamilton was absolutely my favorite character though. So much sass.
seeyousaythatbut
Hi white girl, *waves in black guy*. No this isint black face. A Drow might be offended BUT they're not real so we're going to move on.
EpicMarble
The joke is well done cause it is nuanced, designed not to cross any line but rather get close for comedic effect, which the show did often>
EpicMarble
and very well. Unfortunately, some people do not like any jokes that take this approach (or they care more about the process of being >
EpicMarble
against something rather than the goal) so you will encounter people that don't like (or care) for the nuance.
Alozar
You're correct, people are just dumb. Blackface is a much more specific thing than some would like it to be.
YourMotherApproves

Thank you, I watched it after reading this comment.

I had to as well because, why not. Can't believe they pulled this episodes on other streaming services.

Episode removed from Netflix probably.
peruvianfightingmidgets
Correct. Its on Stan though
ScionofOgma
I just finished rewatching it and totally forgot about the D&D Fat Neil episode. Such bullshit

See my main comment. It got removed from almost everything a while back. I don't know if it's on new DVD releases. Check your goodwill store

Is it because of the dark elf.face?

Such a shame that episode has been removed by every streaming service.

Not every.

I think it's back. A number of the knee jerk episode getting pulled have been undone
TheEliteInvaderZim
I know, it's so fucking stupid.

It’s not on Netflix in the uk but is on all4. With adverts.
Crowscrown
Omg you racist! /S

which episode is it?

Actually?? wooooooow
Richardza
Guess it's easier to remove a single episode than to try an argue
mmontour
A reminder of why it’s important to own physical media. Rip it to a local Plex server if you don’t like handling discs.
Spongebobmemesalwayscheermeup
So on Amazon prime. And you can buy the episode on YouTube for like$3 (that's what I did when Netflix removed it)
PosthumousExile
You can still buy the episode for 3 dollars on YouTube

Came here to say this. Mostly cause I’d not seen it and saw it recently for the first time on prime

All about that Plex Life son!
CheddarDreams
Is this really considered black face because to me he clearly looks like an alien or something, but not sure if that's ignorant of me
jimmythehat1
Glad I own them on DVD then
Charcharm
I heard they removed an Office episode for the same race-related reason.
GrimaceMusically
They didn’t remove the episode, just edited out the particular scene from that episode. SE09 EP09, “Dwight’s Christmas”.
Charcharm
Thank you, dear.
JanieKSmith
That is why I will always buy & download media and have a physical copy. Many studios are editing content when they stream it.

Yeah, Bender no long has the arm of the Prime Minister of Norway. It's been edited since the bombings in Norway.

Same as Everybody Hates Chris, I forget which episodes but on the DVDs some intro songs are different than the streaming versions.

Wonder if this is only certain regions. Pretty certain I watched this ep on Netflix about a week ago, unedited UK.

Gone in Germany too :(
AnonKneeMoose
They only seem to get removed in the USA
SaFalken
Wasn't on there for me
UberBahamut
I cant see this one on there :( Should be season 2 episode 14 but ot listed

On Netflix USA, it shows S02E14 as "Early 21st century romanticism"

Yea.

Hummm I might have been watching on another service at the time.

I hope so. The D&D episodes are some of the best. Right up there with the paintball episodes...and the Halloween episodes...and....and...and

And and, the episodes!! Yes there's a reason I've watched all of them about 10 times.

It was during the race protests last year. This was one of those symbolic things companies say they did something without doing anything.
Waladaaa
blackface. even tho he's a drow and not black
MrZev
But Tropic Thunder is there and RDJ was nominated for an academy in his blackface performance.
JustDontCare
I literally read like 30 pages of the book Drizzt is from and automatically knew that he was a Drow. ::Sigh:: whatever the world sux anyway
CptRobotNinja
Don't tell tell them about all the Klingons played by white actors
oblimo
And here I thought Drow were retconned purple back in AD&D2e.
GrumpyOldMillennial
Also, isn't that Abed in the makeup? He's a PoC in PoC makeup. You can't really cancel that..
PuppersArtAndScience
... it's chang
GrumpyOldMillennial
Ok, same same. I thought it was only objectionable when a white person did blackface. Has that changed?
TheElicitor
Eh. Writing Drow as actually black skinned is still problematic its still the "Black as Other" trope. R.A Salvatore & WoC have mentioned it
TheElicitor
Also being written/ingrained as irredeemably evil from birth with no hope of change for the majority doesn't help either
Tdmonkeypoop4
Who are we to judge, they were born that way it's not a choice
TheElicitor
So many downvotes for just, repeating a press release statement in summary. Never even said my personal stance on it
timberjackchris
We brought you back to positive, bud! Read the books as a kid, certainly... Issues... It makes sense in context of an under dark society

I mean, Drow were created as a racist stereotype, so.......

Seriously such bullshit. The paintball, d&d, and Christmas episodes greatest ever
Buckar00Banzai
Don’t forget the alternate timeline one! That’s my favorite after this one was pulled.

Oh you're so right. I think the Glee Christmas is my favorite!
sponlapp
Are they recently removed? Cuz I feel like I saw all of them not too long ago... also might just be in the US
illern1988
Writing from Sweden here... Still not removed and hope they never will be.
CarlosSpicyweinerReturns
The other ones weren't removed. I was just saying you could watch them over and over and laugh every time
Lovingnsfwcomments
And they even explained it in the episode that it's not black face.

They were expected to get in a real drow to play the part. Duh.

Can't be airing a black characte giving opinions on blackface! /s

Ok but like the joke is that it IS blackface, and the show writers are getting away with a technicality.

Hypersensitive studio executives more like it. Afraid of being guilty by association by the social media mobs

Weird part is even the stills don't look blackface. He has white hair and in most shots, pointed ears.

You're looking at why
corvettee01
I don't get it. Break it down for me.
PosthumousExile
It's black face and even though it was addressed in the scene as completely unacceptable it's still black face so was removed

It's a black face yes, but not a blackface. He even has white hair. Even if it was blackface, you could still enjoy the shock humor. Ffs

Which is weird bc Tropic Thunder still airs and nobody bats an eye.

I imagine it’s the Fat Neil story and suicide discussion more than the blackface, but this is also the first I’ve heard it was removed.
