Netflix has apparently fired all of its 'Queer social media team'

Who are 'the goodies' and who are 'the baddies' in this new crisis?

The tweet "Not Netflix firing its whole queer social team 2 weeks before pride" raises a question even as it induces eye-rolling. Is June like the Purge, and self-identified LGBTQ+ people can do whatever they want without consequence?

What if you're gay and not queer. And also what if you don't do "social".

Do you still keep your job?

r2 r3 That tweeter is a gay British guy who rallies against the Queer phenomenon of recent years.

I resent being cast as the Jewish mob crying “crucify him!” at Dave Chappell of all people. Hold your Passion Play purge, Netflix, but you’re throwing the wrong minority under the bus.

The Black Information Network confirms

Tuesday (May 17). This time, the 150 affected employees came from within three of the streaming platform's major diversity departments, the Los Angeles Times reported.

Creative teams with 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝑨𝒇𝒓𝒊𝒄𝒂𝒏 𝑨𝒎𝒆𝒓𝒊𝒄𝒂𝒏 𝒄𝒐𝒏𝒕𝒆𝒏𝒕-𝒇𝒐𝒄𝒖𝒔𝒆𝒅 𝒖𝒏𝒊𝒕 𝑺𝒕𝒓𝒐𝒏𝒈 𝑩𝒍𝒂𝒄𝒌 𝑳𝒆𝒂𝒅, 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝑳𝒂𝒕𝒊𝒏𝒙 𝒄𝒐𝒏𝒕𝒆𝒏𝒕 𝒖𝒏𝒊𝒕 𝑪𝒐𝒏 𝑻𝒐𝒅𝒐, 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒊𝒕𝒔 𝑳𝑮𝑩𝑻𝑸+ 𝒄𝒐𝒏𝒕𝒆𝒏𝒕 𝒄𝒐𝒍𝒍𝒆𝒄𝒕𝒊𝒗𝒆 Most were laid off this week, just three weeks after Netflix shut down its fan-focused website Tudum, comprised of mostly women and women of color recently hired by the streaming company.

In its announcement this week, Netflix said the layoffs were because of a "slowdown in revenue and a decline in subscribers," and that terminating "jobs" was "primarily driven by business needs rather than individual performance," as reported by the LA Times.

It will be a better world when all "social media teams" are told to get real jobs

Thank God.

The person who tweeted the silly comment about Netflix staffers being canned before Pride is a Google engineer who lists their pronouns as "any." Their tweet was then picked up by the British guy fed up with queer stuff.

Good. Now they can hire a sane gay social media team instead.

[quote]three weeks after Netflix shut down its fan-focused website Tudum

Tudum? Was it by any chance pronounced “Too dumb”? At any rate, it sounds like they were overstaffed.

R10 Tudum is a town in Kazakhstan which sent LOTS of migrants to the US.

Good! From now on, we don't have read about Netflix shitshows on DL no more.

RIP Netflix.

Netflix sucks baboon anus and donkey dick at the same time!!

r9 Fingers crossed.

"social media teams" = manipulating secretive trolls

r15 Good point.

In a revolutionary state comrades such individuals would be employed by the government.

Are they going to change their name to Hetflix:

Did they have good queer content?

Propaganda campaigns based on a negative rarely work.

Normal people can't be bothered to devote their time, energy. and money into negative propaganda. That's what hateful ratbags do.

Sooo, in other words, lecturing your audience doesn't make money. Was wondering when the cows would come home.

I'm so fed up with the lecturing that I watch a narrower range of shows than I used. It feels so obligatory and so inauthentic.

Get woke… ah, you know the rest.

The comments of that twitter thread are pretty funny.

Good, and I hope other networks/companies follow suit. Get the woke idiots out.

Normal people can't be bothered to devote their time, energy. and money into negative propaganda. That's what lots of old-time Christians do.

If Netflix raises their subscription price again I’m dumping them. They’re not the only game in town.

I'm for diversity but diversity office departments are completely useless and not worth the money. Full of grifters who do fuck all for the cause they are supposedly "passionate" about

Who ever would have guessed this sort of thing would become annoying to the public

From R29, concerning the situation where two men were just sitting there and using the bathroom without having purchased anything:

[quote]"Starbucks was built around the concept of a third place where we create a warm and welcoming environment for all customers..."

They weren't customers. Can I just go take a nap in a mattress store, too? Can I just shower in a gym's shower room without paying to be a member?

Good for them, homophobic queers be gone!

I have no idea who owns this 'Netflix' company but I know that Karl Marx and Vladimir Lenin said that those pursuing propaganda MUST CONTROL the dissemination of communication.

It was newspapers in their day but it's Netflix now.

Guess this generation is finally learning not to piss off the people who write the check.

“Anti racist” is just another way to say “blame whitey” and people are rejecting it in droves.

DL sounds like Breitbart lately

Or maybe just more sane R34

Nah..too many right wing takes here

What does anti homophobic mean to you?

Only to a poorly educated idiotic racist does anti (against) racist (prejudiced against or antagonistic toward a person or people on the basis of their membership in a particular racial or ethnic group, typically one that is a minority or marginalized) mean “blame whitey.”

You can keep all of that right wing bullshit from The Daily Mail.

R37 claim to be anti-racist -> perpetuating racial stereotypes

I hardly think shows about dragons or cheating housewives have swayed the global political discourse.

the idea of needing a social media team (this specifically) is new. They already have well paid teams in place to promote their content.

I hope they fire all the people who took part in that stupid protest. Nobody is just entitled to a job at Netflix (or anywhere for that matter).

They are screwed with Ozark and Stranger Things ending. I guess they still have Bridgerton but last season was weaker than the first and next season the love story will feature two unappealing people.

Making straight people feel really guilty for what happened to me in high school!

We have become dumber these last two decades, R41.

School teachers are teaching Queer emotionalism instead or teaching maths and science.

Why isn't there separate company as a kind of black version of Netflix pushing the 'black agenda'?

Why can't BLM set up a company wth those tens of million dollars they've got now?

Bump

Good ! Ha ha

Another homophobic and racist Datalounge thread.

BET - Black Entertainment Television? It already exists.
