The hubbub over GWTW on HBO blew up in early June, 2020, and HBO pulled it on June 9...for 2 weeks, at which point it returned with a pretty tepid content warning at the beginning. In 2021 TCM started discussing problematic elements in beloved classic movies while showing them. Context ≠ Censorship

They don't just want to watch something, they want to feel not even a twinge of guilt or discomfort.
