Elon Musk is leading a bad-faith campaign on social media to pressure Netflix into dropping inclusive content, specifically targeting the GLAAD award-winning and Emmy-nominated show Dead End: Paranormal Park. which centers on the story of Barney, a transgender teen who finds a chosen family.
This is a harassment campaign designed to force Netflix to censor stories with a diverse cast of characters. We need to show Netflix that their subscribers value and support these stories and creators. If you are a subscriber, call to send a clear message that the very content being attacked is a core reason why you stay on the platform as a customer, giving Netflix a business and moral incentive to ignore the pressure.
You can call their customer support at 1-866-952-4456, or access their support chat via https://help.netflix.com/en/contactus (just type any issue name and the option to call or chat will appear at the bottom).
If you choose the support chat, feel free to use the script as talking points, but please use your own words.
Call Script
My name is __________. and I am a longtime Netflix subscriber and a member of Indivisible San Francisco.
In light of the recent bad-faith attacks by Elon Musk targeting the animated series Dead End: Paranormal Park and Netflix’s inclusive programming, I wanted to call to express my support and to thank Netflix for its commitment to telling diverse stories for wide audiences.
I want to be clear that your dedication to representation is a primary reason why I keep my account. Good shows with meaningful representation are incredibly important, and series such as Dead End: Paranormal Park are exactly the kind of content that makes me continue to be a subscriber and recommend Netflix to friends and family.
Please continue to stand by your creators and your commitment to telling stories that reflect the real world. Thank you.
