>... quality has been dropping sharply the last few years ... This is the same trajectory that Disney is taking. They are losing subscribers also as people are becoming tired of the agenda driven content.
What agenda is being driven by The Mandalorian or Encanto? Disney puts out great content year after year.

> hypersexualisation of young girls Which is what the producers did to create it in the first place. Hence why it was unethical. I'm sure there are some snuff films with interesting character development too.
I've heard it quipped that there's no such thing as anti-war movie. No matter how searing the criticism, no matter how horrifying the violence: war simply looks good on the screen, and the spikes of adrenaline we get during a war film excite us. The same could be said of films with any form of taboo sexuality, even when done in the spirit of satire or social criticism. > I'm sure there are some snuff films with inter…
No answer yet unfortunately.
As if Netflix is not filled with woke propaganda already... Note: Expect sentiment downvotes in HN
Some examples? And could you please define “woke propaganda”? Asking because the term is used to mischaracterize a broad range of views by, ironically, large scale propaganda / fear mongering outlets.

Would be reasonable to expand that to "prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism against trans people". Hate is a pretty high bar perhaps? The etymology of the -isms and the -phobias is unfortunate. But the -phobias are not really about fear.
Discrimination is a fuzzy word.. Is-it discrimination to forbid trans-women to participate in the same sports category as bio-women?
No, it's not.

It is absolutely discrimination to discriminate between cisgender and transgender competitors.
Whether it is acceptable discrimination is a value question, whether it is legal or permissible discrimination depends on the relevant law and rule framework, but it is unmistakably discrimination.

I wish more people would watch Dark. Horrendously underrated.
Dark was infuriating to watch. Visually stunning, great characters and performances, but ultimately an intentionally obfuscated and meandering story that only ends up disappointing you. It's kind of similar to Westworld season 1 or Lost -- there's this style of storytelling where you drop a bunch of interesting clues to lead you towards possible theories about whats really going on, and then all of those threads are…
The notable exceptions being Vince gilligan for BB and hopefully BCS, and the Americans team.

I guess I just can’t think of a better way to describe some of the stuff people say about trans people. It’s rooted in a deep hatred that warrants the suffix, IMO. I don’t think “disagreement” adequately describes the severity. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Not sure what that steep price is you would pay to 'accommodate' trans people? It requires nothing on your part except for acknowledging and respecting their existence.
Not correct, it harms people and they attempt to convert others which can result in harm to your family and friends.

ADHD and other related mental illnesses aren't even allowed to get pilots licenses. People who are nuerodivergent have to be very careful who they tell about their minds. I don't know what trans people go through, but neurodivergents are definitely targeted, and have been sentenced to death in the past.
