The employees are staging the walkout to protest Netflix’s decision to release comedian Dave Chappelle’s new comedy special, which they say ridicules transgender people

A group of employees calling itself Team Trans* has scheduled a rally outside Netflix’s 13-story Sunset Boulevard offices in Los Angeles, where activists, public figures and other supporters plan to present Chief Content Officer Ted Sarandos with a “list of asks.” Even as it posted record subscriber numbers on Tuesday, propelled by the global popularity of the dystopian South Korean thriller “Squid Game,” Netflix faces internal dissent over its handling of Chappelle’s stand-up show “The Closer.”

Hours before the walkout on Wednesday morning, a Netflix spokesman said in a statement: “We respect the decision of any employee who chooses to walk out, and recognize we have much more work to do both within Netflix and in our content.”

These people have such thin skin, do they even cast a shadow when the sun shines?

Fire them immediately.

I wonder what all these employees thought about “Cuties”?

Never really cared for him but this whole thing seems like a long trolling game on his part. If it is I may have to revise my opinion

Let them go and hire non-woke employees! Chappelle is hilarious!

I've watched the special twice now, specifically to try to figure out what exactly he says that is 'hateful' orr 'ridiculing'. As far as I can tell, some people are upset that he is challenging their preferred narrative, not actually saying anything offensive.

Are we really expected to believe current gender theory is a viable, long term solution to gender dysphoria? All enforced by hissy fit?

Chris Selley: Habs' controversy raises a basic question — what are land acknowledgments really for?If the audience is indifferent, never mind furiously opposed, what has the acknowledgment really accomplished? I'm not sure, but I have a hunch it's to do with white people and guilt.... Signalling subservience to the Regime. Rubbing noses in it. Yes we are on your land, so what. Empty acknowledgements, just like Turdeau's pledges.
