I always wondered why Lana stole George Clinton's wig.

Now she wants to do a series about a teenage Jesus (honest).

Please, I've been in Tumblr's Sense8 tag before. They spent half of that shows run bitching about every minor detail because representation is not capable of fixing their self esteem and they just haven't noticed yet.

>Show with heterosexual characters gets cancelled because its bad

Tumblr: It was shit anyways. Too straight.

>Show with LGBTQ+ characters gets cancelled because its bad

Tumblr: Stupid cis-people, always ruining everything! We can never have our holy queer shit!!!

I remember Fangs For the Fantasy complaining about how the black cab driver was a total Jean Claude Van Dame fanboy. To them, it was problamatic for a PoC to really look up to a white person.

I guarantee you had Sense8 been a cheaply made porno the only thing you'd hear from Tumblr are crickets chirping away.

You know, I've never heard of any of those shows, so I'm not surprised they got cancelled. Most shows suck, and just having a cheap gimmick isn't enough to keep them afloat. Hell, part of the reason we're so inundated with shitty reality TV shows these days is because they're super cheap for the networks to produce. I can't comment on the quality of these shows as I've never actually watched them, but I will say that even good, critically acclaimed shows have struggled and ultimately been cancelled. I fail to see why some dumb tranny thing would change that.

That being said, why do Americans think that just having gays or blacks makes a show 'diverse?' I mean, seriously, why not include Desi characters? If nothing else, we've got way more ethnic, regional, linguistic and religious diversity than anything else. Every American show seems to just focus on Western Christians. No Sikhs, no Jains, not even Nasrani!!!

i would hope that netflix cancels a couple more of their garbage shows

I hope Bill Nye Saves the World is on the chopping block next, and I hope 13 reasons why gets more seasons, I love the salt

because the quotas demand it

You'd think the SJWs would love 13 Reasons Why because they're the ones always threatening suicide every 15 minutes

Has this kind of fan pressure ever won? The only time I can think of something like this working is with that Veronica Mars movie. And not only were the fans of that willing to pay for it, the actors were willing to work on the cheap, IIRC.

Whining doesn't work unless it's profitable.


This is the non-profitable kind of whining.

I can't find that HBO email address available publicly on the internet. Twitter should take that Tweet down for harassment/doxing.

Jericho's peanut autism brought the show back for a year before it was swiftly cancelled again.

It's not even justified whining IMO. People like this may have had a point when networks were working off the extremely imperfect Nielsen ratings system, but Netflix has 100% accurate viewership data that shows that people weren't fucking watching it (at least not on their platform, and finding a Netflix account to share is so ludicrously easy I have zero sympathy for people pirating their shows).

You'd think for how much they whine about being oppressed tumblrites would be more familiar with what it's like to be an unattractive minority group.

I got one thing to say about all of this. If it's not Bojack Horseman or House of Cards (American version with Kevin Spacey. They do have the UK version, but the American version is more popular), I don't give a shit.
