    Several of you have also asked where we draw the line on hate. We don’t allow titles on Netflix that are designed to incite hate or violence, and we don’t believe The Closer crosses that line.

    Cis people do not get to decide where that fucking line is.

    I recognize, however, that distinguishing between commentary and harm is hard, especially with stand-up comedy which exists to push boundaries. Some people find the art of stand-up to be mean spirited but our members enjoy it, and it’s an important part of our content offering.

    “You’re all too sensitive to take a joke.”

    Holy shit what a disaster of a PR statement. If I wasn’t stealing netflix already I would cancel.

        Totally agree. There is a metric fucking ton of stand up that doesn’t punch down. That’s been a standard for years.

        I know I'm not sticking around this shithole country long enough to see Dave Chapelle take over as chancellor.

      The 16:9 cut of Seinfield suggests otherwise.
