The Latest Netflix Disturbing Trend: Normalizing the "C Word"

Posted on 01/02/2021 12:37:18 PM PST by Political Junkie Too

I've been watching some Netflix Original movies over the Christmas break, and I see a new disturbing trend creeping into their movies.

I know it's been the mission of Netflix to break down taboos in order to make Americans feel uncomfortable, and therefore more compliant, to the Left who keep pushing more and more boorish behavior into the public square.

The latest taboo barrier to desensitize seems to be repeated use of the female "c word" in their movies. It's becoming the new "f word" to express frustration, exasperation, or just plain contempt, in their plot lines. This used to be off-limits in the movies.

Is there no societal shame anymore? Is this how we want the next generation to speak to each other? Is this the kind of self-esteem we want the next generation to feel about themselves, and therefore, about others?

I'll seriously consider that.

However, it's just the medium. People are writing and directing it, actors are saying it, and content producers are distributing it.

It's still the same old argument from 30 years ago: TV/Movies are a "reflection of society" when politicians start talking about regulations, but then art becomes "agents for change" when the left wants to provoke.

Lately, it's all about provoking, especially conservatives. It's probably a trend that's been increasing since the Obama crew took over Netflix.

We cancelled Netflix also and went with PureFlix, more wholesome for the family.

Also normalized in Great Britain. Seems to mean something like a stupid and annoying person.

The c-word is being normalized because there are so many more c-word women than there used to be. As more women gain positions of power and increase that power the c-words are easier to spot and hate on.

Sponge Bob has some of the best hidden adult humor. The “Krusty Krab Shack in Bikini Bottom” is hilarious.

I blame the British. They use the word all the time. It can be used affectionately, like the n-word, but I don't recommend trying that with either.

However ...

C-word/Seaward did make for a funny bit on Arrested Development.

Your hateful statement is disgustingly claustrophic, you vile claustrophobe!

Dang! I just can't get the hang of being an extreme triggered leftist! How do they manage to do it so easily?

The Latest Netflix Disturbing Trend: Normalizing the “C Word”

I used the “C” word about 4 months ago with Netflix. I canceled them.

Search for it. It might be on Amazon or Hulu or HBO max or etc.

If it is indeed a Netflix original, you’re gonna have to get Netflix
