Over the past several years an unceasing tide of progressive ideas on race, gender, and identity has washed over us from our entertainment and corporate worlds. It has seemed at times that companies would do or say anything to avoid the ire of wokesters who were always lurking to call them out. But in recent days, this seems to be changing.
Netflix, which has been floundering financially, recently made big cuts, including to many of its diversity programs. Imbram X. Kendi’s ‘Anti-Racist Baby’ project got the ax, for example. As did several smaller projects focused on the black, Latino and LGB&T communities. This just days after the streaming giant sent employees a warning that backlash on programming will not be tolerated.
Over at HBO, the new Warner Brothers head honcho David Zaslav has indicated that he is going to uncancel Harry Potter author JK Rowling. Last year, Rowling, incredibly, was not invited to participate in the HBO 20th anniversary celebration of the blockbuster film version of the young wizard’s epic.
This of course, because of her stated belief that men cannot become women. Well, now Zaslav is transitioning back to Rowling despite her stance. And new collaborations will be in the offing.
Even State Farm Insurance has changed its risk assessment and reversed a decision to donate LBG&T books to schools and libraries. Like a good neighbor, the company is listening to real people, not to woke institutions.
Then there is the curious case of the corporate response to the leaked draft decision overturning Roe vs. Wade. Or, actually, the lack thereof. We have grown rather accustomed to our corporations springing into public relations action every time progressives get upset about "voting rights" or trans bathrooms.

I’ll believe that when I see white people return to TV commercials.
Apparently a paper tiger is all it takes.
Good news about State Farm. I have been a loyal customer for 35 years and they have always handled my claims without question or raising my premiums. I was not looking forward to finding a new insurance company.
They haven’t really learned anything - and certainly haven’t changed their minds nor their agenda. They will simply be more covert. Continue to fund this nonsense at our peril.
Re-read the note from State Farm...they haven't backed off from supporting gendercool.
A smart entrepreneur would launch a fabulous company out of the ashes of the Netflix Phoenix.
yup I was seriously considering changing as well
Well, Most ‘woke’ aggression comes from ‘trending’ twitter posts and denunciations. Now it’s been determined that Half the twitter population is bots and the other half are activist democrats. So now that Musk has defanged the beast the corporations are dumping the woke mobster enforcers overboard. And the deep state is not happy about it. Watch the communists will start to get violent.
In one day SFI developed common sense and dropped LGBTQ B$!

Netflix, corporations have been outted as mere paper mice.
Too late. Netflix is already identified as part of the pedo-trannytard promoting crowd. They promote wholesale evil, is all. It is now synonymous with their brand.
I got a call from an agent we had a policy years ago with. Asked if I wanted a new quote since rates changed
“Nope! State farm left the insurance lane and is now meddling in social issues I don’t agree with.”
I’m not the first person to tell him that.
Better check to see if you actually cancelled Netflix when you cancelled Netflix. We cancelled it and so they started charging us for 2 accounts instead of cancelling one.
There's plenty of white people in commercials. The black guy's wife or girlfriend, the bumbling neighbor who needs his black friend to show him to perform basic tasks, the people suffering from incontinence, diarrhea, or embarrassing skin conditions, the horrible boss, the burglars in the home security ads...
White people everywhere!
