Transgender Netflix employees staging walkout in protest of Chappelle special

are staging a companywide walkout in protest of the platform's latest Dave Chappelle comedy special and the company's subsequent defense of the stand-up set.

Despite the pushback, Netflix co-CEO Ted Sarandos defended the special, sending an internal email to staffers last week that confirmed the streaming platform would not be taking it down. Sarandos continued,"As with our other talent, we work hard to support their creative freedom — even though this means there will always be content on Netflix some people believe is harmful."

The protest comes just after the company reinstated Terra Field, a trans and queer-identifying employee, and two others after they were suspended for attending a director-level meeting they were not invited to.

Yawnnnn...don't gaf about the freaks

No one “walked out” when Cuties came out 🤡

it'd be fun if Netflix were 'okay...bye' lol

Then walk out

Get. Over. Yourselves.

🙄

When will they learn comedians make fun of everyone? I didn’t walk out of school after Chappelle made fun of white people when he hosted SNL

That's 2 people right?🤪

Waiting for the Newsweek idiots to report on the Southwest pilots walking out en masse! But the geniuses sure caught this one!

Good walk out and keep walking nobody gives a shit

Dave has been doing this for decades. He’s made fun of every race, gender, and some disabilities, but it’s comedy. Get over it, cause he don’t discriminate. He just makes me laugh which is his job

Lmao

Bye Felicia

The data entry at Netflix will never be the same

Let them

Lollllz who gives a f

Oh no… now Netflix can actually get work done

How many people are we twlking? You’re making it sound like there was sooo many. Probably 2 or 5 people?

Ludicrous… the crescendo of said special culminates in a trans joke which Chapelle tears up to deliver.. a joke that’s obviously hard to tell… about a trans friend he loved… that he knows she would have loved.

Good let em walk out

Talking about overly sensitive! Let them. This is the part of cancel culture that needs to be cancelled. Even presidents get roasted, but this group is off limits? Get real!

All two of them

Watch the special and hear Daphne's story

Keep walking. You won't be missed.

This us such bullshit..the man is a genius. Half of these people never watched the special

All 2 of them?

i will hold the door for them. they completely missed his message.

😭😭😭😭 but cuties was ok?

Really,who really cares people are getting forced to take a experimental vaccine and people are worried about your feelings.I don’t think so

They already walked out of their genders now Netflix? What’s next?

netflix hold the line!

Why don’t they just identify as a DVD?
