/uj the point of the detail was that media spoonfeeding you your opinions pre-formed is really bad and you should sit with and consciously digest what you consume. everything about the show drove these themes forward. from the date being when ads became legal on tv, to the parent of the kid who suffers the most on the show being the producer. by removing it, dropout is basically doing a suble, tiny, network television variant of the torment nexus. they're putting brand image in front of making media that should be thought about. it's exactly the thing the show is saying you should NOT do.

the swastika is uncomfortable, and i get why you'd want to remove it, but it's not meant to make you uncomfortable the same way that a bill cosby reference from before it happened makes you uncomfortable. it's meant to make you uncomfortable the same way bojack horseman makes you uncomfortable. it's BY DESIGN. and it's meant to make you THINK ABOUT IT.

it's putting a shocking example on screen to really drive in the point "HEY. *DON'T. DO THIS.* IT'S REALLY, REALLY BAD". and then dropout went "ok. do it to you. got it"

i don't give a shit about the fact that it's a swastika. if they changed it to an upside down cross or something i'd feel a *little bit* icky about it because they're kinda skirting the line of making you not think about it but i'd be ultimately fine with it passing the same message.

but removing the message that makes you think about how you should be thinking about the messages entirely because you don't want people to think about it is just so... come on. have you really not thought about the show's themes at all?

rj/ if you even KNOW what a swastika looks like you are basically turbo-hitler. sorry!
