Good combo-breaker for Netflix, maybe they can save their company now that they stop letting pc-zealots direct their course.
And it's not about "PC Culture", it's about people talking down on marginalized groups. A trans person having a comedy special and making jokes about their community would be very different.
Why do people like Chappelle need to make fun of a group that is fighting for their rights and recognition across the world?
He's signalling that trans people should not be recognized as themselves, and their issues not taken seriously.
At this point it doesn't matter if people laugh at the end.
That said, suggesting there is a binary power structure is incorrect in the first place.
And protecting the company from those who would wring short term profits from it at the cost of long term trust and viability is a good thing. Always will be.
I guess what I'm really thinking is if this moves the needle at all in terms of saving the company: my impression was that there are just too many services now and with better content.
