I think what they’re saying is that the caution needed to avoid offending anyone would be too much of a handicap in the goal of making content that people like.
I know there are specific examples where a person could say “so THIS couldn’t have been avoided?” But as a general policy, they’re saying that they’re going draw their line for what’s acceptable at a place that isn’t intentionally trying to offend, but is sometimes going to end up letting something through that does.

- qgin 4y ago99.9% of Netflix content isn’t outrageous in any way. There’s a lot of attention for letting famous comedians do their usual routines in a recorded special, but we’re talking about less than 10 hours of television in a library of like 20,000 hours of Netflix originals.
