Sarandos has been under fire this week after Chappelle’s latest stand-up special for the streamer,that the special, in which Chappelle mocks gender identities and defends past remarks from J.K. Rowling, “doesn’t directly translate to real-world harm” and would not be removed.
He also said that the streamer was “working hard to ensure marginalized communities aren’t defined by a single story,” adding: “So we have, Hannah Gadsby and Dave Chappelle all on Netflix. Key to this is increasing diversity on the content team itself.”
