I expect that response. Perhaps a thought on why you feel that way as opposed to regurgitating a video where someone states their opinion?

Consumer boycotts happen all the time. Leftists get up in arms constantly and try to affect change through boycotts. Your position is that a musk boycott is good and other boycotts are bad based on your moral and political positions. You believe you have the high moral ground. Good for you.
 

The bit about the salute is just idiotic. Go scratch up a Tesla and enjoy the rest of your day.

This is the 8th time you guys have “boycotted” Netflix in the last five years.

Do you care if anyone cancels their subscription to Netflix? Did you care that people cancelled Disney subscriptions over Kimmel?

Not really. I always knew MAGA had skin as thick as onion paper

Isn't Netflix kind of the ideal streamer?

They refuse to engage in cancel culture from either side.

Whose asking for all this lgbtq ***** in the first place?

Plus: Chapelle, Burr, Rogan, etc.

 

Good on Netflix for not giving in to left or right cancel culture.

I didn’t scratch a Tesla nor will I cancel Netflix. Because someone else has a different opinion than you, doesn’t make yours right. I never said that my opinion was right, but you can’t argue the opposite side without acknowledgement that your side is an opinion and not fact. Both sides are around feelings and that is it. I never thought the cancel culture approach from the left was right and I don’t think that what’s happening today is right. Let people live as long as they are not hurting anyone. I have never met a member of the LGBTQ+ community, of which I have many friends and family members, who approached me negatively or negatively impacted my life negatively in any way whatsoever. In fact, I have found that everyone in that community is happy when they are left alone and generally acts in a positive manner. That cannot be said about those who are going out of their way to restrict the rights of people in the LGBTQ+ community.. Those are negative people. I don’t want to be around them. I would say the same thing about any community that makes it their purpose to alienate and restrict the rights of another community. 
 

The truth about it is that it is all a distraction. So many people are so concerned with this crap instead of being concerned about the way that the US government and the oligarchs are acting today. It’s been done before by both Democrats and Republicans. Watch the one hand and ignore the other as it reaches in your pocket, takes your money and removes any power and opportunity that you thought you had.

Netflix is a streamer, so it's not like the old over-the-air broadcasters that caused such hand-wringing in the 1990s. I lived through the era of child parental locks and all that stuff that had extremely low uptake - the idea that you'd prevent your kid from stumbling upon something inappropriate while he's doing what we used to call channel surfing.

 

It is extremely easy to monitor what your kids are watching on Netflix. Ridiculously easy. Easier than monitoring what your kids see on X. Surely the World's Smartest Man can figure this out. I mean, I didn't think my kids should be watching Chapelle or Louis CK, and they didn't because, among other things, they would consider it incredibly boring and weird that I'd watch some guy talking for 90 minutes.

 

Here's what the MAGAs don't get: there are a lot of liberal parents who think its a good thing that their kids learn early on about things like sexual/gender identities. This isn't being foisted on them. They think it's good!  They're Americans too, and I'm not going to get involved in censoring how they choose to raise their children. Not my choices (hell, my kids went to Catholic schools!), but not my decision either.

Then do it on their own time and not at school.

 

There is zero reason to teach kids there are like 72 genders and pronouns.

I'm not aware of anyone watching Netflix in school. If the kids are, well, the parents should find out. If they don't, they probably don't care.

I was referencing this ideology being taught in schools.  It's a small movement now, we just don't want it to grow.

 

And yes, Netflix is being shown at schools.  My kid has had that every year in school.

I'm in a good school district so it's just kids appropriate shows.

Are any of these geared toward 7 year olds?

 

 

 

Any intentional grooming?

As I said: I don't know any 7 year old with his/her own Netflix account.

it's my understanding that this is how gay crime starts.

I would argue that this is being played out, poorly, by both the right and the left. Teaching acceptance is the correct way to educate children to be better people.
We can know that Timmy wants to be known as Tammy going forward. That is fine and reduces fear of things and people who are different. We shouldn’t be promoting kids to explore their “gender options” as those that are truly gender-fluid, binary or transgender are not doing that. They know who they are and what will give them the most positive life for them moving forward. We cannot ignore that there are, and have always been, people who are binary or transgender. They exists and always will. 

 

In a similar fashion, trying to put the Ten Commandments in schools is alienating a lot of people. We can teach that people have different religious beliefs, but we cannot try and drive children who come from religions outside of Christianity to become Christian. 

 

It is not the education systems job to indoctrinate, but to provide the students with knowledge and the ability to learn from history, from current events and from eachother.

"Grooming" what?

Is the cartoon character going to come and molest your 7 year old?

The parents are letting the kid watch it.

Enough with the "grooming" stupidity. It had a specific meaning, and a valuable one: the idea that some adult, usually an authority figure like a coach or a priest or a teacher, gradually works on a naive kid to make him or her receptive to inappropriate and illegal sexual advances. That was a good and useful meaning because it was a common and dangerous pattern that parents and kids could be on the lookout for. You've cheapened that term and made it impossible to distinguish that disgusting behavior from general media about gender and sexuality.

That probably makes "grooming" easier for the real groomers. Nicely done.

 

By the way, this is all about this:

 

In the old days they would have said that such things are the product of an absentee father.
