black 👏🏿 trans 👏🏿 rights 👏🏿 are 👏🏿 human 👏🏿 rights 👏🏿

they formatted the ransom letter this way, don't be ableist sweaty 💅🏿


Over the past few weeks, it has become clear that there are many places where Netflix

still has to grow when it comes to content relating to the trans and non-binary

community. The Trans* Employee Resource Group, which includes trans and

non-binary colleagues as well as our numerous allies, wants Netflix to immediately take

the steps below to begin to repair the relationship between the Company, our

colleagues, and our audience. Specifically, we want the Company to adopt measures

in the areas of Content Investment, Employee Relations and Safety, and Harm

Reduction, all of which are necessary to avoid future instances of platforming

transphobia and hate speech, and to account for the harm we have caused and will

continue to cause until the below measures are put in place.

Content Investment

Create a new fund to specifically develop trans and non-binary talent

○ This fund should support both above-the-line (ATL) and below-the-line

(BTL) talent;

○ This fund should exist in addition to the existing Creative Equity Fund;

Increase investment in trans and non-binary content on Netflix comparable to

our total investment in transphobic content, including marketing and

promotion;

Invest in multiple trans creators to make both scripted and unscripted programs

across genres;

Revise internal processes on commissioning and releasing potential harmful

(“sensitive”) content, including but not limited to involving parties who are a

part of the subject community and can speak to potential harm, or consulting

with 3rd party experts/vendors;

Increase the ERG role in conversations around potentially harmful content and

ensure we have best in class regional support on complicated intersectional

diversity issues;

Hire trans and non-binary content executives, especially BIPOC, in leading

positions;

Employee Relations and Safety

Recruit trans people, especially BIPOC, for leadership roles in the company

(Director, VP, etc.) and promote an inclusive environment for them;

Allow employees to remove themselves from previous company promotional

content (e.g. allyship and diversity videos, etc.);

Eliminate references/imagery of transphobic titles or talent inside of the

workplace, including but not limited to murals, posters, room names, swag;

Harm Reduction

Acknowledge the harm and Netflix’s responsibility for this harm from

transphobic content, and in particular harm to the Black trans community;

Add a disclaimer before transphobic titles that specifically flag transphobic

language, misogyny, homophobia, hate speech, etc. as required;

Boost promotion for Disclosure and other trans-affirming titles in the platform;

Suggest trans-affirming content alongside and after content flagged as

anti-trans.

We are employees, but we are members, too. We believe that this Company can and

must do better in our quest to entertain the world, and that the way forward must

include more diverse voices in order to avoid causing more harm. The Trans* ERG

looks forward to working with the Company to make this a better, more entertaining

place for us all.

Sincerely-

Trans* Netflix

I don't really think the Electoral College is the main mechanism which gives smaller states more voice in the Federal government. Sure, it does help. Wyoming, for example, gets a lot of complaints from leftoids about having 3 times more representation but its share of the Electoral College vote is 0.56% while its share of the total population is 0.17%. Hardly ground-breaking stuff. The Senate, on the other hand, gives every single state 2 Senators each. That means Wyoming gets 2% of the Senators while having only 0.17% of the population. Also, it gets the exact same number of Senators as large states like California. No wonder Twittoids seethe so hard about abolishing the Senate. :marseyxd:

Just coincidental that Amazon also benefits because diversity erodes trust and cohesion among workers and makes them less likely to get on the same page and unionize.

Large cap tech stocks valuations are so insanely inflated, nobody will notice or care.

They are inflated, but subscriber count still matters at the end of the day. If the company kills off its most popular content, customers will notice, and if the company can't grow its subscriber base, their stock price will take a hit (at least, for a short period).

In fact, the only thing giving these companies astronomical valuations are their user count. I wonder how many people would cancel if they took down one (but more likely all) Chappelle special(s)?

Not even a small dent. Rightoids love to whine online about woke companies but they are too proud of being "individualistic" to ever organize in large number to boycott companies.

These companies become less appealing when they can't grow their user bases or profit/user. Netflix has been growing forever but once that slows down, it'll be interesting to see how they adapt.

According to the leaks, Chapelle's special was wildly successful. If it was any other series, they would drop it in a second.

I wonder how many people would cancel if they took down one (but more likely all) Chappelle special(s)?

Literally a drop in the bucket, it probably wouldn't be detectable among monthly sub fluctuation.

Most people just don't give a shit, the amount of :marseytrans2: that might cancel if the special stays up or the amount of :marseyauthright: that might cancel if it gets taken down is miniscule.

Realistically one has to expect Netflix to cave in here, maybe not quite to all demands but a lot, especially since they don't even call for removal of the special. What's hiring a few employees and creating some pointless "heckin' cutie fund" compared to potentially striking employees and general unrest among them, causing your entire company to be fractured and perform poorly?

Netflix doesn't even care about a single piece of programming, non-US Netflix often has half the content due to licensing and it doesn't stop people from using it. The only reason for Netflix to fight to keep the special up is to assure all other creatives that their work won't get taken down or edited/censored, not revenue loss or outrage.

Jump in the discussion.

Is this all over the Dave shit? Literally nothing in that special was transphobic. He went out of his fricking way to defend them even.

I can’t imagine how great trains walkout day will be for the other office employees at Netflix. Imagine coming into work and finding every single train coworker isn’t there that day.

The sun light is beaming through the office window. You go to the communal coffee station and don’t have to tell “Alice” that “she’s” finally got her makeup just right so her giant square cleft chin isn’t so obvious while ignoring she still has thick black chest hair visibly poking out the top of her blouse. Just a quiet coffee top up today!

You continue back to your workstation and pass another coworker humming an upbeat tune, you notice him and give him a high five and don’t feel like you’ve sexually assaulted anyone even a little bit.

As you continue you pass the executive boardroom and remember that “Chantal” and a bunch of other train coworkers had hid in the office ferns and tried to sneak into the VP meetings last week. They got caught because Chantal gave herself away by ripping a massive fart and there was a massive commotion as security fought with the train coworkers to get them out of the meeting. A lot of yelling, and Chris fell down and her skirt flipped up to reveal her hairy balls. What a day that was.

Not today though. You make it quietly to your cubical today, sit down and sip your coffee and reflect on how life is good at Netflix during trains walkout day.
