It sure looks like streaming giant Netflix is suddenly dewokifying itself by firing many of its most vocal social justice warrior employees and canceling a slew of woke shows that were in the pipeline.
According to reports, there’ll be a bit less leftism wandering around the halls of Netflix in the coming months. The streaming giant is cutting a whopping 290 employees on the tail of losing more than 200,000 subscribers and falling revenue.
The entertainment co. has also canceled a bunch of LGBTQ-supported projects, including anti-white nonsense planned by race-baiter Ibram X. Kendi.
The really good thing about this purge is that Netflix has cut most of its upcoming animated projects, and nearly all of these shows intended to push the radical gay agenda on kids.
Per the shows, according to the Daily Mail:
Netflix has also scrapped a host of woke shows – the most famous of which is Meghan Markle’s doomed animation Pearl, about a socially-conscious girl said to have been based on Meghan herself.
Other scrapped projects included Antiracist Baby and Stamped: Racism, Antiracism and You, two adaptions by Critical Race Theory expert Dr. Ibram X. Kendi, as well as a kids’ fantasy series Wings of Fire from executive producer Ava DuVernay, and the children’s film With Kind Regards From Kindergarten.
The most notable of the scrapped works was Antiracist Baby, based on Kendi’s book of the same name, which had been envisioned as a series of animated vignettes set to music and intended to explore racism in America.
Netflix had previously said that the show would ‘leverage the power of earwormy songs to empower kids and their caregivers with simple tools to uproot racism in ourselves and society.’
Also cancelled was a documentary written by Kendi, titled Stamped: Racism, Antiracism and You, which was aimed at teens and young adults.
Netflix is still proceeding with a third Kendi project aimed at adults, titled Stamped From the Beginning.
Also scrapped was the kids’ fantasy series Wings of Fire, based on the book series by Tui T. Sutherland’s, which would have seen famed black filmmaker Ava DuVernay as an executive producer.
Although a fantasy story, Wings of Fire explores themes of racism and prejudice through its fictional world.
Another project, which was revealed to be a film adaption of Adam Kline’s With Kind Regard from Kindergarten, was also cancelled by Netflix.
No loss to society for any of this garbage.
So, what does this prove? Does it prove that Netflix suddenly “gets” it and “go woke, go broke” is not its watch words?
Not really. What it really shows is that all this woke garbage is just fine when times are good and money is rolling in like water. But when things get tight, the left-wing garbage that no one really watches is the first to get cut.
