If anything this validates those complaints. They are course correcting. Wouldn’t need a memo like that if their content wasn’t leaning to one side. The only reason Chapelle is on Netflix is because one of the CEOs is a huge fan. There was a lot of internal pushback.

That is not as good of an argument as you think it is. > The only reason Chapelle is on Netflix is because one of the CEOs is a huge fan. There was a lot of internal pushback. In other words, CEO endorses and demands a "comedian" who punches down on __other minorities__, and somehow Netflix is "woke".

  I find it very disappointing that a +3 comment went to -3 without any reasonable responses, I expected more from HN.

  The exception that proves the rule. I reject the concept of 'punching down' in comedy. Either a joke is funny or it isn't. Nothing else matters.

    That would be great ... if human interactions happened in a vacuum then sure, nothing matters. But that is not how humans work. Every interaction matters, every interaction affects our brains, affects what we think is right and wrong. You are free to reject everything, and anything, does not mean reality will bend to your will.

      Your ideology =/= reality. Goodbye.

Every interaction matters, every interaction affects our brains, affects what we think is right and wrong. That is reality, not ideology. That is precisely the point I am making, actions have consequences. Please point out __which__ part of my comment is ideologically fueled, because I see just facts. Maybe you will grow up some day, probably not.
