"Exactamundo!"
I recently learned that the network censors wouldn't allow Fonzie to appear in a leather jacket because the apparel was associated with deviants, so producer Gary Marshall talked them into approving the garment whenever Fonzie was on a motorcycle because it was "safety gear". So they found absurd ways to put The Fonz on or near his motorcycle (like riding it into Arnolds) so Arthur (only Mrs. Cunningham was "allowed" to call him that) could wear the leather jacket in the scene.
Eventually the character of "Fonzie" rewrote the definition of the type of people who might wear a leather jacket in Americana, and the censors allowed Henry Winkler to appear in a leather jacket without the motorcycle. One of the leather jackets he wore is on display in a Smithsonian museum.
The moral of the story is, just because the censors tell you something is evil, bad, or associated with deviants, doesn't mean that it's true. Eventually truth wins out. Truth is always free. People pay to hear the alternatives and only engage in truth seeking when their fantasy world collapses around them. The truth is: vaccines have measurable efficacy and chemtrails don't exist. That's why the work of truth speakers often wind up in museums, like Fonzie's jacket, and the nutjobs are forgotten in the dust bin of history.
