    The animation, which ran for two seasons in 2022, is centred around 17-year-old gay and transgender boy Barney Guttman (Zach Barack) who starts working at a paranormal theme park alongside his pal Norma Khan (Kody Kavitha) and talking pug, Pugsley (Alex Brightman). The trio “team up to battle demons at a haunted theme park — and maybe even save the world from a supernatural apocalypse,”

    Ngl, that sounds pretty badass and/or delightfully silly with or without the bonus of positive trans representation.

    This, along with the fact that the show was already cancelled over two years ago, really shows how unhinged these fascist troglodytes are 🤦

    I honestly can’t imagine hating my kid that much. Like, idk if the father that disowned me for being trans hates trans people that much

    Netflix should sue him and force him to subscribe, just like he was going to sue advertisers for not advertising on X.

    That opening paragraph is a thing of savage beauty

    X boss and free speech stalwart Elon Musk has cancelled his Netflix account amid a right-wing backlash to a trans-inclusive show that was cancelled more than two years ago

    Canceling Disney subscriptions: because fascists tried to silence criticism against the idiocy that is the trump regime.

    Canceling Netflix subscriptions: because conservatives hate trans people…. who could have seen this coming

    I don’t understand how a trans-inclusive show hurts conservatives. Just don’t watch it?

    Wait, I feel like I just summarized the entire problem…

      They genuinely think they’re boycotting for the same reason other people boycott Nazi run business. The difference is that they’re dumb as rocks and will believe whatever the angry men on TV tell them.

    You may be the richest man on earth, but your Netflix subscription is still the same price as everyone elses. So I’m sure Netflix doesn’t really give a shit.

      Perhaps he thinks that people give a shit about his opinions. He burned his bridges with conservatives by accepting huge government contracts and shitting on trump. He burned his bridges with liberals with is DOGE fiasco and by allying himself with trump.

      The few disaffected people that hung on after those can’t be happy with Elon throwing himself in Ketamine trance on a regular basis. Musks has zero credibility with anyone now except his hand picked board members of Tesla Inc.

        Perhaps he thinks that people give a shit about his opinions.

        Quite famously one of his biggest beefs when he took over Twitter was that the President of the United States of America was getting more hits on his Twitter account than Musk was. So he set out to fix that and has altered the algorithm that runs Twitter so that his tweets literally are the highest priority on the entire site. In other words, he really does believe his opinion matters that much.

        Edit: P.S. and even though I haven’t had a Twitter account literally ever. I keep seeing his tweets because people keep fucking copy/pasting them all over the goddamn place. Something I wish would really fucking stop.

          It indicates he wants it to, but its cognitive dissonance at best. If people did care about his opinion, he wouldn’t have had to put his thumb on the scale tilting the traffic to artificially point to his posts. People are leaving Twitter anyway, which has to prove it even further people don’t want to hear from him.

        He still has a sizeable tech bro/temporarily embarrassed millionaire following filled with politically-apathetic/“right leaning for the tax breaks” people. But I can’t imagine they’re opinionated enough to take his opinion as a call to cancel their own convenient Netflix subscription so your point still stands

      He cancelled netflix because he is scared of trans people. I cancelled netflix because it’s the financially responsible thing to do. We are not the same 😎

    Their very first show, Orange is the New Black had a trans character. Why is this an issue now?
