Hurt feelings are violence now. Also, I love how the authors side with the person who got fired for stealing data from Netflix and releasing it to the public simply because that person is trans. She was upset, so corporate espionage is totally cool.

I’d go with the sisters…Who to believe? The “roommate” or the sisters?

Dave Chappelle Defended By Sisters Of His Trans Friend Mentioned In 'The Closer'
How embarrassing. Ever heard the saying “Hard times create strong men, strong men create easy times, easy times create weak men, and weak men create hard times.” Well times are starting to get hard, and that video tells me why.
A 'push back' wherein someone explains why they don't like what Dave is doing is ok, and unsurprising 'pushback' in a free society.
This. Exactly this. The whole notion of "WE don't like what you have to say...therefore NO ONE should ever hear what you have to say ever," is a dangerously and potentially irreversibly slippery slope. The last time Ol' Doodle checked, Netflix was optional. When subscribing to and watching it becomes compulsory...then we'll need to talk.
My comment has nothing to do w/the issue at hand.
The POS tearing up that sign and the hag with her hands out around the guy are examples of what is wrong with this country right now.
They’re both “A ok”. However, if you take shots at a highly popular comedian, you are setting yourself up for more ridicule and embarrassment. You think he’s whining? He’s loving life. They keep making him wealthier by feeding him material. Look at the goddamned lunatics in the protest video. Who the hell wouldn’t want to see those fools made fun of. Jordan Klepper should visit that goddamned place. It would be hilarious. But alas…I think he only goes one way. Maybe not.
They aren't trying to shut Chappelle down. He's free to say whatever he wants. People are protesting Netflix giving him a platform and they have as much right to do that as Chappelle has to make his claims. You can't shut them up any more than you can shut Chappelle up.
So....they're over represented?This is my favorite line from the article which discusses Netflix lack of diversity:
"But while it may seem like Netflix is filled with LGBTQ content, novelty, prominence and repeated exposure could give way to false perception.
The University of Southern California's Annenberg Inclusion Initiative studied the company's diversity efforts in a February report commissioned by the streamer, examining the streaming service's diversity progress across 126 movies and 180 scripted series, and found that the company still lacks representation in major demographics.
LGBTQ characters, for example, were only in the main cast of about 4% of movies and 6% of series.
This is from the UCLA law school:
An estimated 3.5% of adults in the United States identify as lesbian, gay, or bisexual and an estimated 0.3% of adults are transgender.
