I am intrigued when a Disney film for example adds a gay reference that is not relevant to the movie, so it is easy to remove when heading to China or something.

What was the most interesting thing you have seen done to a movie or show to appease foreign governments?

Interesting. Are gays or anti government censored as well or just violence?

Sex too. Netflix has plenty of queer stories though, it's getting better.

I wouldn't put it past Netflix if they secretly determine a viewer's political views and hides content that may make someone cancel their subscription in rage 😆

Or like HBO renaming episode 4 episode 3 instead so certain people never see the Offerman episode. I hope this is just humor and not something companies actually thought of

That's actually quite genius, as they wouldn't notice it was missing! What an episode though.
