Netflix now tells woke workers to leave if offended
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10813409/Netflix-tells-staff-LEAVE-theyre-offended-content.html
I also read an article where the Playstation boss sends internal email about accepting different opinions. wow!
it feels weird to say "wow!" to such a thing but these days it takes immense balls, like expected a ton of people got extremely offended, comments portray him as the devil himself.

So, when it was profitable and attracted certain kind of people, it was OK, but now when the company started losing money, it's bad mkay?
Stupid corporations, they are all the same.

Why would you expect anything else? Mansions cost a lot to buy and maintain. And it's very hard to let go of that life.

you can "say what you want" as long as they agree with your politics or argument.
Few of my comments i've done in the last 2 years on regular sites (MSM and a few gaming sites) has been approved, or they have been removed within a few hours. And it's not like any of it was breaking the law, just opinions about a game or politics. Facebook is actually decent in comparison. Twitter is also better than most sites but far worse than FB. I'm banned there every year, and i just create a new account.
I was banned from the biggest gaming site in Sweden for saying men and women have different bodies.

Perhaps we're seeing the beginning of the end of the hyper-super-mega-extreme over-wokeness movement and things are slowly normalizing. I see more and more resistance to the over-wokeness in many different sectors. Netflix has obviously understood that the over-wokeness has hurt their business pretty bad and if they're hurting, so are other streaming services that produce their own content which is über-woke. People are getting more and more tired of entertainment becoming a battlefield for over-woke agenda.
The virtue signalling in woke culture has been taken way out of proportion to society. With derogatory terms like CIS, normies etc. becoming common it's no longer about fighting social injustice (which in itself isnt' a bad thing), it's about über-woke young people (many of them confused about their own identities) believing that they're being oppressed compared to the rest of society. I can see why it's a thing in USA since everything is taken to the extremes with people picking sides, whether it's racism, HBTQIOIQsapoiaspo'ism, economic status, nationalism, Trumpism etc. Unfortunately it spread to Europe where most countries aren't even close to the extreme ridiculousness of US movements.
The #MeToo-movement started in order to support women that eithe felt too ashamed or scared to report serious cimes (rapes, beatings etc.) but quickly turned into something completely different which polarized people and to some extent made it worse for the very people it was supposed to support. Yes, it did lead to many positive things like getting many disgusting people like Harvey Weinstein, Chris Brown, R. Kelly etc. exposed and judged. Unfortunately it also led to many false accusations that have ruined or damaged people and their careers just because a woman felt scorned or have some mental health issues like Amber Heard with her BPD which have some rather telling symptoms that explain her actions and behavior, and wanted revenge.
So yeah, I really hope this cultural extremism can cancel culture is starting to balance itself out to proper levels. I see so much stupidity taking place in social media even though I'm not active on social media myself except for commenting on youtube.. and I've never been censored etc., probably because I don't get triggered and post "inflammatory" comments which in turn is because I don't watch or follow channels/content creators that have some extreme agenda. If I see something like that I just feel "ugh" and downvote the video and leave it while pressing "do not recommend this channel".

Well no shit, hard to be super woke MuH pRoNoUnS, while you have the Bible Belt of the US putting draconian antiabortion laws. Even the most purple-haired omnigendered xim/xerox transmission gets a perspective.

New content woke
Legacy content not woke.
Netflix lost a lot of binge shows that people would often watch over and over and over.
Now the service gets little traction, it's last resort for many for background noise.
Wokeness didn't hurt the company. Losing office and other shit people watch daily did.
Depression causes people to rewatch happy memories for that serotonin reuptake. Netflix doesn't have that anymore. Majority of idiots who use streaming services are depressed.
Netflix should have paid more for content that leaves the app running. Get paramount+ or whatever to watch the office, or watch it on Netflix with the fee gone up to keep the show.
Fees go up, content goes down.
Wokeness didn't fuck it up. Greed did.

Someone catigorized modern Netflix content as “woke sermon”, and that is a pretty good description of a lot of their newer content.

The other big streaming services and visual media giants adopted plenty of über-wokeness which have ruined MANY movies and shows. None of them went as far as Netflix though, probably because Netflix seems to work a lot more like Valve once did, ie. letting people plan and do whatever kind of projects they wanted to do instead of having proper guidelines and a more active management.

Which is just a knee-jerk reaction (and yet another extremist faction) to the whole über-woke movement which REALLY pissed off conservatives and right-wing christians in the redneck states. It will most likely lead to violent protests in the near future (perhaps not as extremet compared to how religious zealots bombed abortion clinics). If Trump comes to power AGAIN, which is a scary thought, he'll rile up the slowly calming über-woke factions again and US will be fucked for another 4+ years, possibly with even more violence and polarization as a result. |
Banning abortion is not a new thing. They just didn’t have the political power to do it before. The reaction is that people are so disgusted by woke, so angry at inflation and gas prices, they are willing to overlook classic religious right action items. But those are certainly not new. |

The pendulum hopefully has swung to the other extremes and is moving back, so we might have a period of non-retardedness before we go to the other extreme.
The US has a perpetual sine wave of liberal/conservative frenzy and I feel this is just the top of the sinewave after a period of its opposite.
(I always picture it in my head of a stadium of people doing the wave around and around the stadium. The ones standing up at any moment up are the ones outraged and barking for the 'thing' they demand trying to wave 'harder' than the others that had their turn..and we keep going in circles).
Not defending it, its just as dumb as any other. You pick whoever had the last tantrum, and the side opposite of them think it's their turn to have one. Nothing really new, just new 'mad-libs' of what the subject of the sentence is this go around.
Since the 60's its been a swing back and forth of who is outraged, 'fed up', and demanding change the loudest:
 Spoiler: | -60's hippies and anti war post Nixon and govt 'overlords'
-Early 70's post war conservatism and 'family values' bull whipping at those 'heathen youth'.
-Late 70's 'disco' (to describe the vibe) and outrage at social and racial disparity.
-80's Conservative Reagan-omics and arguments about 'free capitalism ruining the country'.
-Early 90's Left led political govt and worry about the downfall of the nation to 'inner city creep into suburbs'
-Late 90's "War on christmas, christ, etc" with pearl clutching and triggered over words "Happy Holidays" or "xmas" and saying Christianity is under attack.
-2000's "Everyone brown is a terrorist' mindset, along with outrage over the false WMD and corrupt govt oligarchy claims (bush sr vs bush jr).
-2010 Outrage and demand people be subservient to Christian values that are fading, outright outrage at things like removing 10 commandments from public buildings. Book store selling 'filthy books', TV shows and movies being "deteriorating to youth morals" now-a-days, Video games need banned because they have a nipple or sex or some chick in short pants in it causing delinquency in children. |
So I feel this is just the pendulum extreme swinging back for its turn around. Because the pendulum cannot cycle out to middle still state, because too many are eager and willing to keep pushing it back their direction...repeat ad infinitum.
It all boils down to a never ending teeter-totter of extremes between: "Down with old fashioned values and norms at any cost" vs "Old fashioned values and norms are under attack defend at any cost". and loop back to the first and repeat.
Everyone in the US loves to do some good ole fashioned virtue signaling, only difference is who is doing it this time, and if an overreaction to push 'people' or an 'ideology/theology'. Whoevers turn it is to feel like the underdog, takes its obligatory turn snarling and snipping at the belly of the bigger dog its under.

Yeah, IMO the pendulum will absolutely swing the other way instead of any sort of "balancing out" between both "sides". It will be enjoyable to see the virtue signalers and attention whores (both genders) get shat on, assuming they don't just get with the new trend, but sad to see the people with real points and issues getting the short end of the stick

Well, I've become more and more agitated over the last couple of years, especially how they have kept ruining shows I REALLY wanted to see. Foundation is my #1 sci-fi book series. The show was a disaster with main male characters replaced with female characters with totally different backgrounds compared to the books. There was absolutely NO reason to change/replace/gender swap the original characters. The only reason they did that to multiple characters was because they pandered to the über-woke "movement".
We've seen so many shows ruined by driving racial and gender agendas with much higher prioritiy than the writing and story telling.
I've seen so many African Americans get mad at Hollywood for "blackwashing" shows purely out of über-wokeness. I've seen plenty of african american youtube reactions of the upcoming LotR: the rings of power trailers and features where they can't believe that Hollywood/streaming services are ruining their favorite fantasy world by artificially implanting racial bullshit with black elves and dwarves etc. as if there were no colored people in Middle Earth whatsoever. The world of LotR was written and created as a north-western European part of it's world based on a mix of pre-medieval and medieval times. He described the majority of the people in the far east, southeast and southern Middle Earth looking similar to the people in Asia, the Middle East and Northern Africa.
...and so on and so on. I mean, if they write original shows with HBTQ+ people of any skin color I'm not even slightly bothered since they're not fucking up the source material with sociopolitical agendas. It's when it's so obvious that they're using shows and movies to push those über-woke agendas that I get truly annoyed and sick of it.
I mean, we've already seen the memes and comments about how the "feminist" activists claim that Hollywood are male-centric sexist that have no female leads/heroes and are then schooled on the Alien series, the Terminator series, GI Jane, Star Wars etc.. the list goes on and on.
Since those genres tend to have a predominantly male audience/following that love the badass characters of Ripley, Sarah Connor, Leia, Trinity, Valkyrie, Imperator Furioza, Clarice Starling etc. but no, they don't "count". It doesn't fit their agenda-driven narrative.
That doesn't mean I'm against social justice and equality in our society, I'm very much for it. It's the extreme über-woke movement I'm against since they're not content with equality and acceptance, they are against the majority of the population that is de-facto the norm in our societies because: reality, facts, statistics, common sense etc.
