There is a default opposition on anything that twitter activists have been protesting for in the past few years Netflix for Africans Netflix for Asians Netflix for Indians ... sounds normal. But Netflix for Black People Netflix for Women Netflix for LGBT Will definitely cause an outrage An other example on how we are tribal, even if the tribes are just activists vs non-activists.

I don't think any "<GenericSerive>" for <Group>" sound normal. I mean if you need e.g. "Restrooms for Indians" implies that "other" Restrooms are somewhat not suited for Indians which normally hints to some major problem with discrimination. Just to be clear I explicitly mean "<GenericService>" not "<SpcificProduct>", e.g. black people often have a kind of hair which non-black people have rarely, as such a "Shampoo for Black People" (which is actually a "Shampoo for any kind of people with that kind of hair common with Black People") isn't that unreasonable. Similar a movie focused on living circumstances especially common with black people staring mostly black people is also likely mainly targeting black people as an audience. But Netflix (HBO, Disney) are not specific products but very generic services.

  News for programmers, would not really imply normal news is unsuitable for programmers. Since content is often relevant to a particular culture, and streaming platforms collect content together, focusing on content from one culture can make sense. Neflix is like the news, and Neflix for Black People/Culture would be like HN.

The existence of LGBT people has been an outrage for literally millennia. The portrayal of LGBT romance on screen is still an outrage to many, a threshold that Hallmark crossed for the first time just last year. So, don't worry about us. We're used to the outrage.
