Following Netflix co-CEO Ted Sarandos’ continued defense of the anti-trans sentiments in comedian Dave Chappelle’s new special, The Closer, at least 1,000 incensed employees are now reportedly planning to participate in a virtual work stoppage on Oct. 20.
For nearly a week now, trans and trans-allied staffers have been voicing concerns over Chappelle’s ridicule of the LGBTQ community throughout the special, during which he self-identifies as a TERF (or “trans-exclusionary radical feminist”) and repeatedly dismisses the concept of a gender identity altogether. But in the wake of heated criticisms from both employees and customers, Netflix execs have made the bizarre decision to double down on their defense of the special, issuing a series of increasingly tone-deaf memos to staff.
In the most recent of these memos, a copy of which was obtained by Variety, Netflix co-CEO Ted Sarandos dismisses the trans allies who had claimed that Chappelle’s comments had the potential to instigate real-life violence against the community, arguing that “while some employees disagree, we have a strong belief that content on screen doesn’t directly translate to real-world harm.”

Unfortunately I don't believe any business has the gumption to stand their ground anymore so I expect them to capitulate to the mob.
That’s a lot of Trannies at one employer.
Netflix should only stream content the government commissions and approves. There is no valid reason for any contact outside that period
Did they have a problem with the show Cuties?
Netflix is woke,anti American trash.
The trannies are woke, anti American trash.
Dave Chappelle goofs on trannies, but make no mistake, he still hates whitey. He just keeps it chill enough to maintain his audience.
Netflix probably has on file 100,000 resumes and applications of very smart people who would LIKE to work at Netflix.
No sense at all keeping employees who have a problem with programming decisions.
Let them fight.
They won’t be missed. They just think they are important.
I hope so. Less produced crap. Oh wait, I don’t use Netcrap.
Good, destroy your careers and livelihood. Won’t bother me in the least.
so 1000 stompy foots are gonna run away and pout? And what is the downside to that again? Maybe they can have themselves a ‘bottom lip droop contest’ to pass the idle time away
Cancel Netflix!
NetFlix is owned and operated by woke idiots.
Hey, 1000 netflix employees, what if I cancel my netflix subscription? My wife is the only thing standing between me and that. If I give her a good enough reason.... Netflix is putting us on. They don’t have 1000 employees who disagree with their politics. They just want a plausible excuse to cancel Chapelle’s contract. I will watch his special just to make sure it is seen.

Well, you’ve got your trannies. And then you’ve got your tranny sympathizers. And then you’ve got your average folks. They will walk out because they’re afraid of being labeled a hater if they don’t.
I would love that they do this
And then get fired
Is Netfix producer Michel Obama going to walk out also?
Best line of his last special. Regarding his alleged transphobia, a friend warns Chappelle: “Careful Dave, they after you”. Replies Dave: “One they or many theys?”
Sorry, but that is comic genius!
Bastards can’t take a joke.
“he still hates whitey.”
How do you know that? I honestly don’t know much about him, other than he’s a comic.
