Exactly. Just like Twitch and YouTube are beholden to corporate censors today.

Censors back then were more lenient. And people who say “you cant do a show like that any more” are right; unless the censors lighten up a little.

I feel like there's a frequent argument that comes up on Reddit.

"You couldn't do Seinfeld today. It would get canceled!"

"No, you totally could, because the point of Seinfeld was that the characters were bad people!"

But like... here's somebody very literally doing Seinfeld today, with a joke that absolutely has "Jerry is being a bad person" as the punch line.... and it's getting cancelled pretty hard.

I think maybe we've been taking things too far.

This article has a (fairly grainy) photo in case you're wondering. Looks like Kermit the Frog, Ernie, and The Cat In The Hat. Weird message to send.
