I don't know what's more embarrassing, to see a Satanic moral panic in 2021, or that it happened in Canada.

Also, they have the nerve to invoke "inclusion" and then use Satanism as an excuse to... exclude people! Not that Iron Maiden is remotely Satanic of course, but there ain't nothing wrong with Satanism either. Good on the kids for sticking up for her

Ain't nothing wrong with Satanism. Lol. Child abuse. Ritual murder. Torture. Brainwashing. I wonder if she has the same opinion when she's discussing ISIS.

No doubt these parents are distinguished mentally-challenged. Thing is they're the same kind of distinguished mentally-challenged as Morrigan.

When you are taught growing up that you are a truly unique butterfly and worthy of trophies just for showing up, walking out because you can’t handle a factual statement that on average, men are taller than women is the result of that sheltered childhood.

I want to say they are probably deeply reading into the statement, assuming that the motivation behind speaking obvious fact is to imply "...and therefore women should be oppressed in the following ways"

That sounds like LaVeyan Satanism, the libertarianism of religion. Morrigan probably isn't even that sincere. If she has gone beyond teenage, edge lord, "look at me, mom" Satanism, then she is probably talking about the Satanic Temple which are atheists which use the freedom of religion to troll organized religion.

Calling it Ghostbusters: MeToo IS a pretty shitty thing to say.  You can definitely criticize the 2016 Ghostbusters movie without going there.  I doubt metoo had anything to do with the movie being female led and had more to do with a studio seeing the success of Bridesmaids and mashing it up with nostalgia.

This is sad to hear. It reeks of tokenism and narrow-mindedness. Minorities don't always have to be presented through the struggle. Diversity of representation doesn't just mean the faces but also the kinds of stories. Also kind of runs counter to Netflix saving Schitt's Creek from cancellation when one of the sadly unique perspectives to the show was portraying gay people without the struggle or blatant homophobia to sell the story.

From Jen Richards (Her Story, Disclosure documentary, Mrs Fletcher, Tales Of The City):

"About to do first pitch for a tv show about a trans/queer student group at a high school in the south. Good vibes gladly accepted!

Rejection sucks. Even when their notes make it clear it wasn’t a right fit, it still just sucks. Multiple rejection suck … multiply? I’m going to allow myself a few hours of moping and then get back to work.

Three times so far. Three no's. The first two made sense, but I really thought the third was a fit. I'll tell you more about it later. I'm ... heaven help me ... watching Robin Hood in bed and eating Chips a'hoy.

btw This pitch was to Netflix. They passed on our intentionally kind trans high school show, with an A-list star as EP, because they didn’t think it had enough trauma and betrayal and backstabbing.

It’s their right of course, and they know their viewers and what drives revenue and at the end of the day they’re just a business so I don’t really expect any better or them. Which I guess is my point? I just wish there was more good trans content out there and I’m trying my best"

Apparently it had Gabrielle Union as executive producer, according to her website.
She is also developing a show centered on the lives of trans and queer high school students for Sony Television, with Gabrielle Union executive producing.

Clearly Netflix should have greenlit the token boring show with a trans focus to prove they're not engaging in tokenism.

The thread is mostly a mix of people pointing out that a high school show without trauma, betrayal, and backstabbing sounds boring as fuck, and then people trying to invoke Chapelle thing as making the rejection worse:

What a load of rubbish. Perfuma has to stay in the closet and Chapelle can spout his clownfoolery for 5 specials straight but this is not interesting? Even the most cynical take would welcome the free publicity from all the right wing lunatics that would go batshit insane over this.

Or that the actual problem is people talking about why Netflix might have said no:

Preach. You have someone who's an outspoken advocate for trans people and trans representation in film giving her experiencing in trying to pitch that, in about as mild a fashion as you could wish for. Yet you still get people a few synonyms shy of talking down to her and telling her she'd be better off keeping quiet to appease a corporation that just put out a special that works to demean and endanger us.

Or I guess Netflix should have lied in their rejection and said it was for other reasons?

If Netflix is gonna get mad cause creators are airing out their bs reasons for rejecting diverse shows cause there's no representation drama to each other and the public, maybe they should have given a better reason.

[Boredfrom]

Yet you still get people a few synonyms shy of talking down to her and telling her she'd be better off keeping quiet to appease a corporation that just put out a special that works to demean and endanger us.

Yeah, she totally didn’t share that information, after being rejected three times, just to try to force Netflix hand as twitter is loosing their minds with Chapelle. Totally doesn’t show how unprofessional she is and how cynical she and the slacktivists are about “representation”.

[Cauliflower Of Love]

"cis people aren't interested in trans stories unless they are being awful to each other."

slaaaaaaaay Queeeeeeeen!!!!!


oh wait

[ShutUp]

The fuck is a show set around high school kids even going to be about if there isnt backstabbing of some sort involved? Sex, partying, etc. all of that is pretty much mandatory. We going to watch kids just show up and go to class each episode? Sounds thrilling.

Given that this thread is based on old tweets, some of which have been deleted, and that another trans Netflix creator is currently facing harassment on twitter, we don't feel comfortable hosting this thread. As such we are locking it.

Thread closed because she started to delete tweets as Netflix was not thrilled by this:

https://www.resetera.com/threads/netflix-rejects-pitch-for-trans-high-school-show-bec-not-enough-trauma-and-backstabbing.497895/page-2

If the career of someone trying to create more shows with positive representation is over because she had the gall to speak out against Netflix, then that says more about the TV industry than her.

Why not both?

James Gunn didn’t went out bitching at twitter because the “past jokes” controversy even when he was screwed way worse.

[Boredfrom]

If there is no NDA, I'm sure any studio can get badmouthed on rejected pitches and they can probably handle it. And Jen even said she understood why the other outlets didn't take it on but decided to name Netflix because of how they've treated other creators. There was the recent news too of how they stopped the inclusive teen drama On My Block season 5, likely because of the actor's increasing wages. 

She just deleted the tweet.   

She is so blacklisted.

I don't even think the lock reason is true--the rejection and initial tweets happened months ago, but I'm pretty sure the Netflix tweet she deleted happened within the past few days--so she'd talked about being rejected in the past, but called out Netflix specifically very recently.

I think the trans creator they're referring to is the Dear White People woman who tweeted about the Chappelle thing and is now getting blowback for basically being a producer or show runner or something of Dear White People while being white. Which has almost nothing to do with her being trans, aside from the tweet that got all the eyes on her being her take re:Netflix and Chappelle.

[Boredfrom]

They closed the thread because she deleted the tweet as slacktivists we’re spreading it and, most probably, backfired IRL. People in that thread that we’re mentioning how she ruined her career and the only reason to air those grievances is because she wanted to get the favor from the public, stuff that is problematic un woke spaces to discuss to begin with. The fact that she deleted it means she was not exactly taking a stand, something than everyone that is not a distinguished mentally-challenged fellow as Massofanego can see.
