Hey Netflix 🖕🏾
Canceling Glow, Teenage Bounty Hunters, I Am Not Okay With This, The Society...is extremely disappointing.
Viewshipship and COVID-19 are poor excuses for canceling these shows especially when one is Emmy nominated and the others had considerably high viewership (TBH trended Top 10 US for 2 weeks) even tho Netflix didn't promote them AT ALL. The fans and the casts did all of the promo work.
Shows get postponed and delayed all the time for varying reasons so no cancelation isn't the only option
It's considerably extremely veiled that a high percentage of Netflix cancelations for 2020 are women led and queer leading characters who aren't subjugated as props or background noise so Netflix can check mark off diversity boxes
Yes, I'm completely aware shows with heterosexual/white/male leads were canceled too but shows with that make up have, continue to, and unfortunately will for the unforeseeable future continue to dominate entertainment media in disproportionate amounts
Truly, my heart goes out to all the teen and young adult fans who related to and saw themselves as these characters only to see them tossed aside
It's so dismissive of a large group of people who hardly see themselves in media and have to settle for scraps
This shit hurts
