Since October I’ve noticed that these episodes have been slowly picked off Paramount+ in Canada - in my province at least.

Given the current political climate I can at least think of a reason why they would ban the last 3 to theoretically avoid controversy (then again if they’re banning specific episodes due to antisemitic themes you would think The Passion of the Jew would be the first to go, but those are still up lol), but I’m sort of puzzled as to why the first 4 have been taken off? I don’t remember anything in these episodes that would warrant them being removed over any other episode. There are plenty of worse ones out there, why do you think they removed those?

    Predictably, every comment in this thread is somebody responding to a software glitch by losing their mind about imaginary cancel culture

    Streaming services like to tell us what we should be offended by instead of letting us make our own decisions.

    Big gay als big gay boat ride is not only one of the most inclusive south park episodes in the catalogue but it was released during a time when even most supposedly progressive people were against gay marriage. If they seriously removed that then idk what to even think anymore.

    I understand Jewpacabra and Gingercow given the state of the world. Canceled seems like an overreaction. The rest I have no idea.

    Bottom line here should be to remind people if they don’t like it there is absolutely nothing forcing them to watch it they are perfectly capable of not pressing on South Park if they find it offensive. Why do these massive corporations always pander to a small minority of cry baby’s that could simply just not watch?
