Netflix is being accused of distributing “gay propaganda” in Russia

  1. I propose to replace all Netflix content with 8 hours long record of Kalinka-Malinka for russian users. Oh, wait. Even better idea would be to replace it with interviews of Putin.

  2. It’s true though. Doesn’t matter if you agree with it or not but most Netflix original content is heavily politicized.

    Imagine if a similar popular platform produced politicized conservative content for kids and teens at this rate. Twitter would explode.

  3. A Russian coworker explained this to me one time; in Russia it’s legal to own a gay bar and attend it, but it’s not allowed to promote itself, make advertising for it and publish it.

    I think .ru is trying to kick western cultural institutions and influence out of the country using this rod to beat them with.

  4. “The company was initially accused by the Public Commissioner for the Protection of Families, who noted that some Netflix content with LGBTQIA+ themes was considered suitable for 16-year-olds.

    The publication notes that, in Russia, the law does not allow the distribution of “non-traditional sexual relations advertisement” to people under 18 years of age.”

    Well…

  5. I will not bother to read the article but I will complain about Netflix – watched “Shadow and Bones” (I have read the first book, not impressed) it is an alternative version of Russia, and the cast has nothing to do with the description from the books.

    “Wheel of time” is on the same road as far as I know.

  6. I would rather say that the majority of Netflix movies are dull and boring. Usually I spend quite a while looking for a movie or series to watch and I end up torrenting a movie instead, because Netflix did not have anything interesting.

  7. Well…. I’m all for gay rights but the amount of content in Netflix pushing gay content its too much, or race bating. Movie about the vikings? Stick a lesbo black woman in it, make it the main character!

  8. This sub is hilarious because it managed to praise Netflix for promoting “diversity” & “progressism” in their shows but when a conservative country call them out on it, suddenly r.Europe denies they were even doing it.

    The mental gymnastic is impressive.

  9. Not that I agree with the opinion but am I the only one who finds stuff on netflix rather boring ?

    I’m currently using Amazon Prime and content with it.

  10. Imagine if queer people throw a tantrum every time there was a show portraying straight people, if straights on TV would be political. It would be ridiculous right?

  11. If you actually believe “Gay propaganda” is a real thing then you’re an absolute moron and probably not as pro gay rights as you think you are.

  12. Wonder if it’s showing “Sex Education” it’s a show about high school kids from Wales (despite having strong themes of old school American high schools) its on third season now and the emphasis on LGBT+ relationships has only got stronger.
