Well, I mean, I know that it's removed because that's what God wants. But I can still get curious about what the nature of the godness in such people's minds *is*.
And my own curiosity about this must be something that God wants!
Life is so simple and it all makes sense once you've blessed like I am! I know I'm gloating but then God must want that too otherwise he would have compelled me to not gloat instead of compelling me to gloat! My motive's are God's! It was temporarily removed and there like million other places can watch it

I'm curious why it was removed temporarily, though.

Fictional movies have a message? Aren't they just stories? Is 'Gone with the Wind' a true story?
By that logic the Bible should be banned because the old testament is a much more 'unacceptable' story. But that's bad logic because stories are stories.
(I'm not saying that the old testament is entirely fictional. I don't think it is. But I know that most atheists see it that way because God wants most atheists to see it that way).

Fictional movies have a message? Aren't they just stories? Is 'Gone with the Wind' a true story? And the message is the Antebellum South wasn't all that bad, for everybody. See any problem with that?

I would certainly say that most people would think that that was a problem if applied to real life. But how is it a problem applied to a fictional story that never happened in reality?

The message in the story was that blacks didn't really have it that bad during the slavery era. This is part of an effort to show that the Antebellum South was the victim in the Civil War.

I'm curious why it was removed temporarily, though. Because certain depictions of black people and the history of the confederacy required context

I'm going to just keep repeating that you're talking about a piece of fiction until you explain to me why a fictional character saying that something is true in a fictional reality has any impact on morality in our actual real reality.

Again, I'd understand if 'Gone with the wind' is a true story but it isn't.
If a fictional character makes a truth claim in a fictional universe then why does that matter?
To me this is as absurd as banning Star Wars because Darth Vader wanted to wipe out whole planets with the death star which not only endorses Hitler's genocide of 6 million jews but endorses the act of a genocide far more extreme than even Hitler's genocide.
