What happens when "representation" explodes over everything? You end up with "entertainment" that is propaganda, and that will appeal to no one. Case in point highlighted by this article from Marvin Montanaro at That Park Place: LGBTQ Content Appears in Nearly Half of Netflix Kids’ Shows, New Study Finds
Now I know some of that bill has already been collected in the economy as a whole. Anheuser-Busch lost a sizeable portion of its market share in the world of beer beer. Jaguar shot themselves in the head with their woke rebrand. Any number of Game Studios (Ubisoft comes to mind) have paid a price, as has the Xbox division of Microsoft. The American comic book industry all but died a few years back sacrificing itself to woke. But this is a post primarily about Hollywood.
A new report examining LGBTQ representation in Netflix children’s programming concludes that a substantial share of the platform’s kid-rated content now includes same-sex or gender themes—prompting renewed scrutiny of age ratings and parental expectations.
41% of "family friendly" (as identified BY Netflix) content contains LGBTQ themes, including 21% of programming aimed at preschoolers.
I wonder how much of Netflix programming includes Christian, or faith themes, where they don't lampoon the faith, that is. Do they have any shows that show a classic, nuclear family with a father who isn't an idiot? (Fathers portrayed as idiots have been fashionable in Hollywood since Archie Bunker and All in the Family.) Or are they excluding that portion of the population?
So is this inclusion, or exclusion, or both?
Now, so far, this hasn't hit Netflix as hard as it has every other streaming service.

Case in point, our good friend Marvin Montanaro over at That Park Place wrote a piece about studies which found that nearly half of Netflix shows aimed at kids, even preschool kids, included LGBTQ themes. Again, that is not representation. That is not reflecting what the world looks like. That is wild and extreme over
