This banning is one reason I like to have physical copies of my media. I have a large collection of Looney Tunes on Blu-ray and DVD. I did not have to buy a copy of Gone With the Wind because I have the Blu-ray. I have bought Blu-rays of movies Disney wants to censor like Dumbo and Lady and the Tramp. I also have a fair amount of Old Time Radio shows. they can often be purchased cheaply online in MP3 format.

I still buy and collect CDs. If I listen to them in my truck, I rip them to thumb drives, but the originals are still with me. At least until a gang of "protesters" decides to loot my house and burn it down.

I can think of several Karens that would love to be the party approved neighborhood entertainment content controller.

Your Bookshelf May Be Part Of The Problem
June 6, 20207:00 AM ET

...You may have seen the phrase “decolonize your bookshelf” floating around. In essence, it is about actively resisting and casting aside the colonialist ideas of narrative, storytelling, and literature that have pervaded the American psyche for so long.

If you are white, take a moment to examine your bookshelf. What do you see? What books and authors have you allowed to influence your worldview, and how you process the issues of racism and prejudice toward the disenfranchised? Have you considered that, if you identify as white and read only the work of white authors, you are in some ways listening to an extension of your own voice on repeat? While the details and depth of experience may differ, white voices have dominated what has been considered canon for eons. That means non-white readers have had to process stories and historical events through a white author’s lens. The problem goes deeper than that, anyway, considering that even now 76% of publishing professionals — the people you might call the gatekeepers — are white...

The canon of Western Literature has been given the boot for over 30 years (the works of dead white males, they called it).
