Buy an Amazon Fire stick. Download Kodi. Get the right mod (with Phoenix, Exodus, etc.). You'll never need Netflix or Hulu again.

This^

Don't forget to add the Playstation TV app to it, for any local station in the US, so you can catch football/basketball/etc. games for free.

My younger brother set mine up so I do not know all the finer points of Kodi.

Someone should really do a datasheet on it for the forum. I'm dead serious. It's that good.

I already have Amazon Prime and a Roku. Problem solved.

It's silly to boycott Netflix for one show they produce. Netflix produces shows for all groups of people. If they see a niche they can produce something for that will make them money then they will do it.

They're not promoting anti-white, or anything. They're making a show for a niche demographic. Just like they make kids shows. Just like they have comedy shows. Just like they have action movies, etc.

It's not like their entire programming follows the same "message" as Dear White People. Their programming has hundreds of different message for each of their customer groups and potential customer groups.

Acting butthurt over one show is like acting butthurt over an offcolor joke a comedian says even though the rest of his show is funny as shit.

I'm sure plenty of serial killers are very charming people, but that doesn't mean I want them around or their redeeming qualities should keep them from their appointment with the electric chair.

David Duke is a pretty nice guy too. Had a few legal problems, sure, but nobody's perfect. Why don't some of you black guys invite him over for tea? That KKK deal was just a club for some of his niche friends, don't you know.

I know for a fact that those claiming "oh it's no big deal it's just a niche show" would not say that if it was targeting other groups. But suddenly racism is just fine because it targets white people. GTFO with that bullshit.

I know that this a a rage out thread, but you really should not care about this Movie or series-you are not the target audience. This show is like Insecure on HBO, targeted toward the African-American demographic, skewed more for females. This is not the big deal that you think it is, Netflix is just trying to target a niche demographic. If you watch Insecure you will see many of the same themes play out. I am not going to watch it , but Netflix will be no worse for the wear after this news cycle. In 48 hours no one will give a damn about this made up controversy-this controversy will not survive Trump's next tweet.

Spot on. Netflix's revival of niche properties of limited appeal to ultra-specific target markets seems to be a very deliberate part of their m.o. I think they assume heavy binge watchers are eventually going to look at everything on the site out of sloth anyway, so these properties will get inital buzzes from a loyal fanbase, then be accessed in time by the masses.

My argument here would go back to my warning a year or so ago about the black community siding with socialism: note that the writer is a SWPL, and the producers are all Jewish. You are simply a tool of the socialists for destruction of the existing order, and aren't given the true power in the transaction. You will not be the Inner Party after the Revolution: you are the discarded Useful Idiots. If you want to see your future, see how the Socialists now demonize the Working Classes.

As for Netflix itself, it's committed-SWPL territory. I've been putting up a mate and his young son at my place for the last six months, and the son was watching a dreary children's show a few weeks back about rich orphaned children being harassed by a pantomime-level villain and the narrator stopped the action dead to insert a subversive-lecture about the moral righteousness of gay marriage without actually saying 'gay'. The implication was direct enough.

Of course, our heroes were shown to just accept two men being partners without any moral judgments of their own. My nephew loves 'The Flash' and 'Arrow', and these shows use the same tactic: no character can be shown to react negatively to SWPL Sacred Cows. This is where you end up in ridiculous situations where a father discovers his daughter has been raised from the dead, but is more concerned with voicing his acceptance of his dead daughter's new lesbian relationship: "As long as you're happy."

Even more troubling, I've noticed a lot of the Netflix Writers are having their tweets promoted by Twitter to smack down Trump any time he posts - you'll never see anything supportive, just SWPL-snark after snark. Following one of these threads the other week, I found one of the big Netflix higher ups being taken to tasks by people on the right for a long list of falsehoods in one of their 'factual' documentaries about a murder case.

The Netflix Guy - looking exactly as you'd imagine - bragged that the facts of the cases didn't matter, neutrality is an outdated concept, and, realistically, they are the future of news, so get used to it, and that approval was implicit by the subscription process, so they wouldn't have to worry about offending sponsors the way Network News would.

The guy was a fucking tool - you would instinctively recoil from him if you hear him attempting to hold court at a party - and he's one of the big wigs. As such, there's no way he's a thought outlier. That's when I realised, fuck these people. I can no longer deny this is an evil company, who wants me and everything I believe in erased and replaced. As he said, approval is implicit by subscription.

This attitude, not 'Dear White People' - you can't expect SWPL's to not SWPL - is why I'll unsubscribe from them when I return home in a few weeks. I never personally-use the damn thing anyway. I only have it their for children and women to look at, because both groups are easily-amused and naturally-drawn to sloth.

I can 'chill' when I'm dead.

Ahem!!!



They been at this for a hot minute buddy.

The clue was the LGTBBQ whatever you call it section of movies they put in years ago.

Don't act like this shit is brand new fellas! They been at this for a while. Most of us just dig for the shit we want to watch and ignore whatever filth they have in there. I myself liked their violent gritty movies and stand ups, and since they tend to recommend what you watched before, that's mostly what you will see.

All these decades, I knew there was a reason why my pirating of movies was morally justified and now I know exactly why!

[Kona]

I canceled my Netflix years ago when I saw they had Forrest Gump on there.

When Forrest was a baby his mama named him after the great civil war hero Nathan_Bedford Forrest. He was related to him in some way. He started a group called the Ku Klux Klan.

Now that I see there is a show that is anti-white folks, I'm renewing my subscription. I feel this show cancels out the celebration of hatred presented in Forrest Gump.

This thread just cost me 11.99 a month.

Aloha!

For those saying they can't live without Netflix, just download some AVI or MKV files of your favorite movies. Go to the public library and rip some DVD's to your computer. There are plenty of great ways to get content for free, that are also easy to use. Kodi, Plex Media Player, etc. are fine examples. It isn't just "Dear White People", Netflix is anti-Trump (read anti-men), pro illegal immigration, pro-homo in your face LGBTQ nonsense, and they also have tons of leftist comedians that are always attacking men. Why on earth would you give them one red cent when there are other options available? It isn't just about Dear White People. It is about a company that is just plain toxic that no man on this board who claims to have taken the red pill should support.

[Remington]

Netflix was getting stale anyways. Bye bye Netflix...Hello...Hulu?

[John Michael Kane]

I'd just go with free options instead. That way you can download and save them to whatever device you want, never have to worry about content getting pulled, nor your hard-earned money going to media companies that are overwhelmingly run by SJW leftists. Don't fund the enemy is my takeaway from all this!

[TigerMandingo]

I find it interesting that Netflix was co-founded by Marc Randolph, nephew of Edward Bernays - aka the "father of modern propaganda"

[spokepoker]

If you go the streaming site route, make sure you beef up your browser with adblocks and tracking disablers like ghostery, there's a lot of junk that gets tossed up and bullshit ads that eat up memory.
There's three streaming sites I use, sometimes something I am looking for isn't on one, or better quality on another.

[John Michael Kane]

Use Adblock, and also make sure to use OpenDNS to block additional malware: http://www.opendns.com. Works great for porn filtering for no-fap too.

[lionel]

I don't use it, but would recommend some of you guys who cancelled it to drop a message to their support in explaining why you cancelled.

[catoblepa]

wow, it's almost like they're trying to weaponize any kind of race related things to divide people along racial lines!
outside of the US black faces are pretty innocuous, I've seen countless times italian comedians wearing a black face and nobody would bat an eye.

[samsamsam]

How could Netflix not foresee a backlash to something like this?

This is when someone buys their own bs. Regardless of political leanings, race, gender, etc. When you think you are above it all. Hubris destroys.

[rainy]

If you can't live without Netflix you've got bigger issues on your hand. I've never even had it. Has zero effect on anything I do.

Drop that shit and look big picture, sending a message to the liberal elites in Hollywood that America at large isn't taking their shit anymore. Only way to send a concrete message is to stop forking over your money.

Exactly. This runs deep into the heart of what kind of country and culture do we want? Do we want a culture that bashes racial groups through weaponized SJW shows, or do we actually want racial harmony? This latest insult is one of far too many to ignore!

[Brebelle3]

Done.

Cancelled.

Probably been addressed, sorry if that is the case, but are any of you asking political beliefs prior to doing business at this point?

I figure if these liberals are so forthcoming with their nonsense, I'll just start askin upfront. I was applying for a position with a new company and saw "we are a new progressive compay" and I immediately swiped left.

[RawGod]

Loving the pushback. Never thought I'd ever see the day where Hollywood and pop culture is being rejected by large numbers of mostly young people. To call it degenerate filth was not even a thinkable thought for the last 40 years. Flush it all away. Starve them of their dollars and establish our own new Western Renaissance culture.

[CynicalContrarian]

Can't say I've ever bothered with Netflix.

There's such a torrent of content all over the internet...

[stugatz]

I must be the only person under 40 who intentionally got the DVD-only option for nostalgia's sake. It might have been slow and inefficient, but I loved getting those red envelopes in the mail.

It was such a simple little pleasure for under 10 bucks a month. Goddammit Netflix, you've failed me.
