ok why do you think they removed the video then?

do you think disney was pressured by Iran, or that they would even care if they were?

I know right? I mean it's not like Disney has ever edited or removed content at the behest of a foreign country like China or anything....

do I think Disney, a company that continually takes orders from the Chinese government censoring their own content, would bow to a dictatorship in another country?

hmmmmmmmmmmmm... let me think about this...

You really believe we are going to war with Iran?


Anyone who believes that has been drinking too much liberal progressive kool-aid.

disney denies making 'song of the south' so bowing down to oppresive iranian mullahs to help try & make trump look bad is par for the course.

Disney removed the lesbian kiss scene from Rise of Skywalker for the giant world power that is Singapore.

Hulu Removes season 4 episode 6 of Parts Unknown about Iran
It’s also missing Season 4 Episode 2 about “The Bronx.”

In fact, by my count, it’s missing 18 episodes (excluding recaps of previous seasons) which includes the following:

Myanmar
Colombia
Quebec
Libya
Jerusalem
New Mexico
Detroit
Russia
The Bronx
Iran
Istanbul
Chicago
Japan
Buenos Aires
Oman
Puerto Rico
West Virginia
Berlin

Edit: Looks like it’s 18 missing episodes, not 19.

what's the difference between the United Arab Emirates and Singapore's market share in comparison to Iran?

or did you not know that those two countries refused to air tROS unless Disney cut the lesbian kiss out of it and Disney caved?

what about Disney removing a kiss in Black Panther so it would air in Saudi Arabia? can you tell me the market share difference between Saudi Arabia and Iran?

you do realize that Iran has 83 million people and is the 18th highest populated country in the world, right?

Damn, those plus Iran are like 4 of my top 5 episodes. The Detroit one is what got me hooked on the series to begin with. The Libya one was extremely disturbing but fascinating.

Thanks. I was about to come ask this as I know Hulu doesn't always carry every episode of a show.

because the episode did a great job of humanizing and contextualizing a group of people that we are very likely about to go to war with?

imagine if the vietnam war were about to begin today in 2020 and the disney corporation started deleting any kind of media which made vietnamese people look like regular, kind human beings. that's basically what's happened here.
Wait a minute, you think Hulu, which is owned by Disney, a company that goes out of its way to push fairly left leaning views, doesn’t want to humanize a country because the US may be in a conflict with them?

Oh my god....

Not to mention that you think we are going to war with Iran.

That may be the greatest post in the M/TV Board I have ever seen.

you're right that they do, but they're heading to a point where they may not.

So was it on there then removed? Or was it just never on there to begin with, like the others buckeye listed, and people want to be outraged over something?

Isn't Parts Unknown a CNN show? Could it be as simple as CNN removing those episodes because they plan to run them on their network or because of contractual obligations? Or is every thing just Disney bad?

That’s what I’m wondering, if they’re just running in syndication somewhere else.

Keep in mind Hulu is also running that how did Jeffrey Epstein die show (and it’s featured on its front screen when you log in). And they have stuff like frick That’s Delicious that shows all kinds of bullshite in international areas. The accusation that just the Iran episode was removed feels a bit conspiracy theory-ish.
