    I'm almost wary of asking what this is. Daily extracts from Mein Kempf?

    LOL at you calling anything woke if you like MASH, unless it's the movie.

    The main character was a pacifist bisexual who didn't give a damn about anyone's nationality or skin colour... in the 1970s ffs. He was a Federation officer without having to say his beliefs were OK because it was the far future. And he had Star Trek beat on the bisexual issue long before Dax.

    TV Hawkeye was where Alan Alda became the bleeding heart liberal he is.

    If TLS is watching the series MASH, he's doing it wrong.

    BTW, I like how the guy who openly wants women to die of miscarriages can't muster up the balls to say "shitting".

    For all of his faults, Ned Flanders was a good hearted man who believed in a Jesus of love and forgiveness. Don't sully Ned Flanders by comparing him to TLS.

    On topic (such as it is):
    isn't half of NF's in house shit designed to "piss of the libs"? Between Chapelle's series of shark jumps and Adam Sandler's western and god knows what they've let Rob Schneider take part in this month... The only decent thing in the last while has been getting the rights to Snowpiercer.

    He wasn't gay in the show, but he defended the rights of the homosexual to not be court-martialed. I have no issue with that. Or maybe you can show his gayness???

    Just wait until Quentin Tarantino shows up to break the code like he did for Top Gun.

    Sure, Trapper leaving Hawkeye with a kiss and him being disappointed at not getting more...

    This from TV Tropes:

    These are from Reddit, but they happen to fit the bill:

    Campea was talking about this the other day. They’re facing a lot of competition and their original content isn’t driving subscriptions, not even Stranger Things.

    Considering the persona he's adopted here and at trekbbs, I'd say he thinks season 6 Winchester is the hero.

    Funny how all this stuff was the norm back then, but now that these "weirdos" want equal rights, the Right wants to act like "oh, that was all just good fun".

    Nah, Winchester had a heart, hidden though it was. Burns would have had Hawkeye executed for "weakening America".

    that's true. But, I don't think Winchester got a heart until later seasons. His first season, IIRC, he was supposed to be as much of an ass as Burns was.

    This is their actual main problem. They were the initial streaming library service. Now they have a ton of competition, and their present and future content has been ravaged by the competition.

    The idea that they are losing because of being woke is a fucking loie considering every other service but prude family based services like Disney are pushing out woke content. @TheLonelySquire is grasping at imaginary straws to pretend that being woke is a problem. Even disney is realizing gaybaiting makes money.

    The only groups losing members across the country are the anti-woke SJWs. Netflix just has competition now. However, if your hope for a "woke" free fascist christian society is reliant on Netflix going away you are a fucking loser because GLBT is here and makes money. It is only going to get larger because the straight entertainment world is just eating itself with remakes.

    Netflix still has some good original content now and then. Their main problem is that they've lost most of their good third-party content as networks and studios launch their own proprietary platforms.

    Their comedy thing brought a bunch of decent specials along. Despite the claims chapelle would be a large part of it I did not see much of him so far except for inducting Pryor into the comedy hall of fame. I could not disagree much with that choice.

    Netflix will go down. They became a giant with DVD mailing, and then shifted to streaming. They do try to introduce original material, but in a world of conglomerates who have other profit channels they are doomed. IMO they are not going away as @TheLonelySquire is praying. They have a library of titles they own. They will be bought to be the streaming giant of some conglomerate. Their value of IP properties is not going away.

    Their stock prices have to tumble into that range first.

    I think a lot of streaming services are experiencing a drop off as well as online gaming. People been cooped up a long time, its summer time to get out. Streaming services can be switched on and off by the month.

    And now that they're forcing a gay character on viewers, that's going to shit the bed too. Families just won't put up with it.
