One of the best episodes of the show Community was removed from netflix for featuring blackface. However, like mentioned in the scene, the blackface wasn't used to be racist. The characters are playing Dungeons and Dragons, the character using blackface is dressing up as a Dark Elf.
Blackface was barely in the episode. Netflix took down the whole episode due the black lives matter protests happening currently. They have taken down numerous other episodes however this is very different for a number of reasons.
Racism is still a big problem and blackface should not be tolerated but the episode has set a proper context that shows its disagreement with the use of blackface. The removal of the whole episode leaves a major gap in the overall story, and thus ruins the experience for fans and viewers.
Aside from featuring that scene, this episode is one of the best, if not the best episode for many people. Its deals with themes such as suicide and bullying that is important for people to know, don't give up, it gets better. This episode is so important that some episodes and even the rest of the series is ruined if someone doesn't see it.
A year later I upgraded my computer and was going to sell the one I got last year, I went to do a full wipe of the drive and install Ventura OS. Upon setting it up and connecting to the internet I was presented with a message stating my device can be configured my Netflix remotely.
Of course I have no way of contacting Netflix IT to resolve this as I feel this is some mistake. Is there any way to get this unmanaged or removed? When I continue with the setup it takes to a screen where at the bottom I can see different servers like jamfcloud as if its trying to connect and then it brings me to a screen to sign in to google, if I do that it just errors out. My only way to bypass is to not connect to the internet but I had to downgrade back to Monetary in order to do so.
Hi. Unfortunately there is nothing anyone here on this forum can do to help with this (unless they happen to work in Netflix IT). What you're seeing is the device is enrolled in Apple Business Manager, and is trying to redirect the device to enroll in Netflix's MDM, which it sounds like is a Jamf cloud server. There's no way for an end user to bypass this. Only the company that the device is registered to can assist you.
If I may ask, where did you buy the Mac from? Was it someone selling it personally or a reseller of some kind? I'm sorry to say it, but there's as much a possibility that this Mac was stolen property and sold to you as it is that it's just a mistake on Netflix's part. The latter can and does happen of course. Sometimes devices are sold from a company and they forget to remove the device from Apple Business Manager.
If you're wondering why you didn't see the enrollment message back when you got it, but are seeing it now, well, a Mac can be enrolled in Apple Business Manager, but not actually be assigned to do remote enrollment on the Jamf server, and then later can be put into the queue for remote enrollment. So it's possible it wasn't set for enrollment at first, but somewhere along the line, got assigned to do the remote enrollment by someone at Netflix.
Sorry, I wish I could offer something more, but the only way to resolve this will be to somehow get in touch with Netflix corporate office and see if they can direct you to someone in their IT division. A quick Google search pulls this up for the numbers - (408) 540-3700 or (408) 540-3737. I would not try their regular customer service number as this is just for helping people with their Netflix accounts. I'm not surprised they have no idea where to direct you when you speak to them.

I hate to say it, but it's just as possible this is a stolen Mac sold to you as it is that Netflix made a mistake. Especially if you bought it from a person on the internet. Mistakes can and do sometimes happen. Occasionally companies sell older devices and forget to release them from Apple Business Manager, but they should be able to help you figure out the deal with it.

Community is one of the most inventive and witty television shows of recent decades, with innovative humor that makes each episode feel like a distinct experience. The series was created by Dan Harmon and features an ensemble cast that includes big names like Joel McHale and future mega-stars like Mr. & Mrs. Smith's Donald Glover. The show ran for six seasons and currently has a film in production. The movie is vindication for fans who have long rallied around the cry of "Six Seasons and a Movie!", which started as an inside joke but evolved into the ultimate dream for its viewers.
The series always eagerly plugged itself into pop culture, making sure that there were abundant references to other media that made the show feel like a smorgasbord of entertainment. They have referenced everything from Star Wars to cop procedurals to stop-motion Christmas specials, with entire episodes committed to changing genres to match the shows and movies they pay homage to. There's plenty of Community to watch while waiting for the movie, but astute fans of the show might notice something missing from most streaming services. "Advanced Dungeons & Dragons" is a Season 2 episode that is one of the most recognizable and talked-about of the show, though that wasn't enough to save it from being pulled from multiple streaming services.
While the episode features some of Community's greatest narrative techniques, a controversial joke involving a character in inappropriate cosplay led to the studios removing the episode. What's interesting is that despite being removed from most streaming services, fans and even cast members have continued to give the episode praise. So what happened in "Advanced Dungeons & Dragons" that caused it to be pulled from streaming, but has also led some people to share their desire for it to be restored?
"Advanced Dungeons & Dragons" is the 14th episode of Season 2 of Community, and follows the study group as they participate in a game of Dungeons & Dragons in order to cheer up a depressed classmate. Neil (Charlie Koontz) is another student at Greendale Community College who is bullied for his weight, as he is almost universally referred to as "Fat Neil" by the general populace. After he ominously donates all his D&D books to Jeff (McHale), the study group is alarmed and makes a plan to host a game of D&D to lift Neil's spirits. They all get together in the study room and, with Abed (Danny Pudi) as the Dungeon Master, jump into some good old-fashioned tabletop role-playing. However, the remaining and most problematic member of the study group, Pierce (Chevy Chase), rudely interrupts their game and proceeds to harass and bully Neil further. Fortunately for Neil, Pierce's villainous efforts actually make him an incredibly effective, well, villain. The study group doesn't just end up fighting a magical dragon, but they also encourage Neil, who learns how to stand up for himself against bullying.
The episode is a masterclass in storytelling, highlighting just how daring Community is willing to be. The game of Dungeons & Dragons is played the way that an actual game among friends would be played. It's as silly as it is serious, as the study group inevitably ends up committing to shenanigans while they try to figure out how to play the game. Even the names of the characters for each player are as ridiculous as the ones people come up with on their own, featuring standouts like Bing Bong the Archer (played by Troy) and Hector the Well-Endowed (played by Annie).
Instead of cutting away to action sequences that show fantasy warriors fighting against goblins, the gameplay is entirely "theater of the mind," which is the term used to describe how D&D is played without the use of battle maps or figurines. Abed describes the scene, the players describe what their characters do, and the narration is perfectly effective for inspiring a viewer's imagination. Before Critical Role made D&D cool and before Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves became a smash hit, "Advanced Dungeons & Dragons" was arguably the best mainstream representation of the popular game.
So if the episode was such a great example of DnD, why was it removed from most streaming services? The controversy around the episode came from a joke involving Ben Chang (Ken Jeong), who arrived at the D&D game in full cosplay as a dark elf, which meant he wore black makeup on his face and arms. The makeup immediately drew comparisons to blackface, something called out by Shirley (Yvette Nicole Brown) in the episode, who asks the group if they're just going to ignore that "hate crime." Chang is resolute in the fact that he's dressed as a dark elf, also known as a drow, and is committing to the role-play more than everyone else. However, his character, Brutalitops the Magician, is very quickly killed and removed from the game.
