As if Netflix is not filled with woke propaganda already... Note: Expect sentiment downvotes in HN
Asking because the term is used to mischaracterize a broad range of views by, ironically, large scale propaganda / fear mongering outlets.
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?

> if you don’t like that, you can quit. Someone will be doing layoffs soon and want people to leave voluntarily
This + their hiring freeze and also Meta and Twitter freezing hiring, along with people displeased with Apple’s remote work policy. Google and Microsoft are probably raking in top talent at bargain prices right now.
I don't think the brains of top talent stop working when they are unhappy with certain aspects of their current job. Also not with respect to their total compensation.

More like they don’t want to waste their time on managing lot of prima-donnas.
Quite possibly, but if you had a labor shortage you would waste your time managing the prima-donnas for lack of alternatives. If you're about to do layoffs anyway, no need.

I'm not sure you're disagreeing. It seems more like you are proving the parent post's point. You didn't watch the movie, yet you had an emotional reaction to it anyway, and used that to make a decision about the service. The parent isn't saying that's unethical or anything, just that the movie is being mischaracterized by people who did not watch it.
Because I choose not to watch something that implies it may be sexualizing young girls? So by this logic if you see a trailer for a movie that's highlighting the dangers of child pornography, but from the trailer it seems to be showing and possibly promoting child pornography, and I choose not to watch that because I don't want to unwittingly view a film that promotes child pornography, I have now unreasonably cast j…

99.9% of Netflix content isn’t outrageous in any way. There’s a lot of attention for letting famous comedians do their usual routines in a recorded special, but we’re talking about less than 10 hours of television in a library of like 20,000 hours of Netflix originals.
> 99.9% of Netflix content isn’t outrageous in any way. You could say that's only because it has become the new norm. The Simpsons was considered to be controversial at first.
