Netflix Cancels Some of Its Woke Shows, Signaling Its Backpedal from Leftism Is Well Underway

Netflix is doing something other companies are proving to have difficulty doing…learning.
If you get woke, there’s a 99 percent chance you’re going to go broke and Netflix saw the signs. Not that they were hard to read. The public overwhelmingly didn’t approve of “Cuties,” the movie that featured underage girls dancing in provocative ways. They were also forced to cancel the live-action adaptation of “Cowboy Bebop” after three weeks.
Most importantly, they saw how the left attempted to launch a full-scale war against Dave Chappelle after he had dared make fun of the holiest of the leftist holies, and the public overwhelmingly sided with the comedian while the leftist’s pet cause only got tepid support. It made it very clear which side the company needed to be on when it came to creativity.
The turn from woke culture was more than hinted at when the streaming company made it clear to its own employees that if it doesn’t like working on programs that rub their political sensibilities raw, then they know where the door is. They didn’t mince words, using phrases such as “Netflix may not be the best place to work for you” and “they might want to consider working somewhere else.”
It was also a hint that some things were going to come down the pipe that would definitely upset its more woke employees. The streaming company is taking a new direction, and it’s beginning by canceling a few of the hard-leftist shows that are coming down the pipe.
