It's a -really- tough spot to be in. Far right people left in droves when Cuties came out. Far left people left in droves when Chapelle was allowed to remain. It seems like people quit treating content providers as neutral tubes, and more like a club that they control which is bizarre. I mean, nobody cancels cable because CMT or BET or PBS or TNT exists as a channel. What's the difference?
(note: these are claims I've read, I don't have the numbers to know if anyone at all actually left).
How the hell do you win anymore without offending someone? Completely neutral content that could not possibly offend anyone is, well, boring.
For example, Comcast is unable to deal with customers in pleasant ways because rules that allow for that possibility increase costs. Rules and regulations that effectively mandate nefarious customer service are a consequence of regulatory capture and logistics.
Woke companies are unable to effectively block the utter stupidity of pandering to the outrage mobs. Activists exploit corporations that have gotten too big to manage individuals.
It's perverse incentives all the way down.
Really? Only nazis care about the sexualisation of children? Everyone who’s center left or center right is fine with child sexualisation? I think you need to rethink your definitions
But I just don't think the way culture is moving in the US is that compelling to the rest of the world (and for many in the US). And in that way both netflix and most TV shows are based on cultural values of california.
I'm not in the US and the way almost any US movie/show has to bring the race question into it is super annoying. And I don't even mean the character make up, like fine, I don't give a shit what race actors are, if they are great actors. But literally every story always has to go into race somehow, every film somehow has references to who's black and who's white. Frankly it's racist but reverse racist really, it's pretending to be culturally sensitive but in the end you are still making everything about race, i.e. racism.
I don't care. Stop it. I don't care about racism or about the colour of people. Leave me alone and show me a good story.
Streaming services aren't social networks with lots of user generated content, that probably matches to the country where people use it. At least it's much less that. You can't force people to like California culture if they don't.
