I can't argue against the BIB tbh.
And the only bit of censorship that I've always supported from mainstream entertainment is that there has to be some level of morality in the work.
Even Shows like Dexter for example have some basic level of morality.
Because yes, having Homophobia being celebrated as a good thing would be wrong imo, I 100% agree with you on that.
Controversially I wouldn't mind a Show being a bit more three dimensional depiction of a Homophobic person, where they're Homophobic (and it pointed out as a character flaw,) but they also have some good in them as well.
Basically showcasing that even the most prejudiced of people aren't pure evil, actual good writing rather than the Hillbillies that we always seem to get.
