netflix can absolutely eat my ass. i'm so fucking tired of them giving sapphic shows a budget of 4 dollars and then them cancelling it because "not enough people finished watching" when the show had 30 MILLION views the first week and stayed top 5 despite huge shows dropping at the same time. fuck netflix and fuck their fake "representation matters" bullshit

Fuck Netflix and fuck everyone who fought against this show.
First Kill was set up to fail right out of the gates.
It was a diverse show streamed on a platform that is proudly anti-diversity, it got zero promotion or advertisement from said platform, it had fans who were sabotaging viewership before the show had even aired, and it was released at the same time as big shows with pre-existing bases like Stranger Things and Umbrella Academy.
And somehow, despite all that, First Kill outsold. It swept the competition of their feet. It got more buzz than anyone could've anticipated.
Which is exactly what makes Netflix so fucking stupid for trying to cite numbers as the reason for the abrupt cancellation. Especially when the numbers are public, have been public since the series' debut, and have been praised the entire time.
And it's scary that they're getting so comfortable with lying when the actual numbers are right in front of our faces. They're not announcing these cancellations with "heavy hearts" anymore. They've dropped the act of caring, and it's become more obvious than ever that it's because they don't think they even have to pretend to care about diversity anymore.
And they're right. The film industry has once again become a climate where they feeling comfortable exposing their bigotry to everyone, knowing there's nothing anyone can do and that they can just keep doing it.
We've seen the pattern. Batwoman, Legends, Legacies, Motherland: Fort Salem, The Wilds, now First Kill. I know there's many I've missed in that list. That's the worst part. Networks are not even disguising their intentions anymore.
First Kill's not the first and it won't be the last, but I really fucking hope it can be the loudest.

So Netflix paid to have the Empire State Building lit up pink today in honor of the new season of Emily in Paris... same day they announce Warrior Nun is canceled. Insult to injury and all that. Real classy.

i find people telling hank green that they couldn't even notice him being nervous during mentopolis cute but i COULD tell and i loved that it was out of dedication and wanting to do the best performance as the fix. i usually see him in his silly tiktoks or youtube crash courses but this felt like he was sharing something very special and private and i'm happy i saw this side of him.
