Streaming platform Netflix is facing a wave of criticism and subscriber backlash following controversies over content of its kids' programming and comments by a former show creator. The hashtag #CancelNetflix has been trending on social media, with thousands reportedly cancelling their subscriptions.
What is the controversy?
The controversy began with the animated show Dead End: Paranormal Park, which aired on Netflix until its discontinuation in 2023. The show, aimed at children, follows Barney, a transgender boy, and Norma, an autistic Pakistani-American girl, as they work in a haunted theme park alongside a talking dog and a demon sidekick. While the show itself was popular with some viewers, critics argue that its LGBTQ+ themes were inappropriate for children.
