I can't help but feel this is aimed at trans activists who protested the Chappelle special. I think he went too far at a couple places, but that's what comedians do. I don't think it's transphobic to push back on trans activists. I have problematic issues (bipolar, recovering alcoholic) but I don't go around demanding the world accommodate me and calling people who won't listen to me haters.

Are there people passing laws to fuck with people with bipolar disorder? Are there people telling you that you’re incorrect or even mentally ill because you identify as a recovering alcoholic?

Well, yes, - there are lots of people who do this. And no, the law is not particularly kind to those who are alcoholics or have mental illnesses.

Except that quite a few people with bipolar disorder and addiction issues would say they are mentally ill.

is Alcoholism a mental illness - https://www.portstluciehospitalinc.com/ufaqs/is-alcoholism-a...

Yes. According to the most recent edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5), alcoholism, or alcohol use disorder (AUD), is a diagnosable mental illness.

As if Netflix is not filled with woke propaganda already... Note: Expect sentiment downvotes in HN

When I understand it right, is not the whole point of this change that also topics which are not "woke"/left can also show up?

Not sure if I get it completely :)

Earlier quoted context omitted.

'Was', heh. Bart makes delinquency look cool and in the 90s I personally saw a fair few young boys my own age emulating Bart and getting into trouble for it. I think the Simpsons is appropriate for teenagers, but not much younger.

southpark

Certainly. Southpark made a name for itself by being a show kids really wanted to watch although/because their parents really didn't want them to watch it. It's been controversial since it first aired.

I don't think that supports your argument, I think you actually would be justified to ask the world to accommodate you.

I cancelled my Netflix account after the whole Cuties debacle. While visiting my friends I have noticed that Netflix content quality has been dropping sharply the last few years. Let's hope this exodus of customers and content creators will create a new, more interesting industry for the future.

Same here. The 365 days movie was quite atrocious and borderline porn.
