In the second memo, sent on Monday, Sarandos argued that “content on screen doesn’t directly translate to real-world harm,” according to a copy reviewed by “The strongest evidence to support this is that violence on screens has grown hugely over the last thirty years, especially with first party shooter games, and yet violent crime has fallen significantly in many countries,” Sarandos wrote.
”said Sarandos’ memos were largely the impetus behind the walkout, organized by the Trans* employee resource group at the streamer but which received support from several allies at the company. During the walkout, participating staffers will not do any work for the streamer and instead focus on donating to charities and encouraging others to engage in content that does support the trans community, according to the staffer.
That standup was genius
They’re right, but this is a really slippery slope. If it were racially insensitive or sexist, I wouldn’t be surprised if their response were different.
If netflix says so....
As a white heterosexual male Ted has never suffered any LGBTQ discrimination so it seems like he thinks it doesn’t exist
This is such a gross and inaccurate viewpoint. Wtf man. 🤮
He's not being cancelled, and if you don't like the show, then don't watch it.
Boy, now I can't wait to see Bill Burr or Ricky Gervais' next specials. That should cancel the easily offended groups.
Ted, why are you doubling down. You don’t need to keep explaining yourself to crazy people. Just ignore them.
Holy crap! Someone in show business with a sensible take on a subject.
Can nobody take a goddamn joke anymore?! Humanity is totally fucked.
Myself and glaad disagree netflix. 👀
The replies in this thread are fucking poison, man.
Seriously? So no one drank bleach cause Trump told then to? No one is taking horse meds cause they saw it on FB? Antivaxxer memes have killed thousands! Of course people are affected by what they see and hear, especially when it’s by someone they admire.
It’s was a great show. If one watches all the the way to the end they’d understand he is building a bridge via comedy
If this was a white comedian & not Chappell, would they have e gotten the same pass! Grant it everyone has a choice not to watch, but where do you draw the line?
Ted Sarandos:
Gender is a fact.
The triple down to come mañana (that's tomorrow for you lip smackingrapacious gabachos). DaveChappelle
He’s right. Grow up.
I’m a Chappelle fan but the issue is that jokes at the expense of other groups leads to ppl thinking it’s ok to make these types jokes too. “Well everyone does it, so it’s okay”. If the ppl who the jokes are about have an issue…. Why is it so important to keep the joke?
Wonder what would happen if a white comedian did a 'genius' bit on racism wherein he shits on minorities the entire way through.
'“content on screen doesn’t directly translate to real-world harm'' - um, yes, it does. smh. Netflix is clearly oblivious to just how close to the edge it is atm. only reason they aren't in a freefall already is cause not all their content is horrible. curious when they will slip
Awesome! Good for Netflix. Enough of this woke nonsense. People need to learn how to take a joke
If it is offensive to you, easy, don’t watch it.
It's funny now dave has made it clear he isn't a transphobic guy on the contrary he lost a trans friend to suicide which could have been due to online abuse and bullying by members of this group yet he's the bad guy
I stand with Netflix end cancel culture BS. Let’s get back to making fun of each other
“content on screen doesn’t directly translate to real-world harm' True. It's a comedy show, you should not take seriously.
mark david chapman was inspired by taxi driver to kill john lennon. just one case debunking this bs.
free publicity for this almost funny comedian 👍
