Happy Half-a-Pride Month
So, uh, is this homophobic? Netflix sent me one of those “Watch This!” marketing emails about upcoming titles to watch for Pride. You know, getting us primed for those rainbow feelings early. But, then I noticed, wtf? These sapphic titles were leaving the streaming service mid-June. Do we only get half a month of Pride, Netflix? Why would you have queer cult classics like “Carol” and “The Incredibly True Adventures of Two Girls in Love” leave before Pride month was over? I realize this is some licensing thing. But whoever approved these dates obviously was not a DEI hire, because we know better. Sigh. Next thing you know they’ll want to ban us from public life and take away our community’s gender-affirming care. Oh, wait, yeah, that’s already happening. The very least thing you could do, Netflix, is give us a whole month to watch some damn queer movies. Sheesh.

NETFLIX must go through everyone's "My List" or whatever they call your marked shows to watch and tell you what's leaving on your list.
They sent one to me yesterday about shows leaving in my list, but what the NETFLIX bot didn't seem to know was that I had cancelled my NETFLIX subscription and am also leaving next month :-)
I binge watch one service for a month or two and then cancel and go binge watch another service like Disney + and then cancel and go elsewhere.
Wash, rinse and repeat ... and f#ck all the big streamers I say.
Play them at their own game is my game.
NetFlix sucks... but even their mind-boggling incompetence and patriarchal lesbophobia
are surpassed by their insatiable greed and complete lack of ethics.
It gets worse-Wynonna Earp is leaving Netflix in July. Another Sapphic series gone :-(
Yup
