fuck netflix and their fucking clickbait sex thumbnails

Why do they feel the need to show suggestive sex positions? french kisses every thumbnails lines ???

I was looking for some Miyasaki films (eg: Porco rosso, Chihiro) for my kids and those are not available in the “family/kids” curated profile.

So, I had to create a new profile, I open the search view and the first FUCKING thumbnail is a couple having sex, suggestive but still! And it continues each time I iterate my research.

Between the nihilistic, the lowbrow sex or serial killer shit , there’s nothing really. Increasing price, removing shared account is not a cure to a sucky catalog!

Fuck you Netflix

ventilating…

**EDIT: ** I forgot to mention in the first post version that Porco Rosso, Chihiro and other Miyazaki are actually only available in the non family/kids profile, that’s why I’m furious.

Netflix drove many people to leave piracy, and now they’re driving them right back to it again.

Way to go guys.

turtlepower,

The circle is complete.

Ditto!

nx2,

Large parts of the Netflix Team are the bad kind of woke, meaning they want to expose children to sexual content of all sorts

The only thing they will hear is if you cancel your subscription.

I didn’t think you guys had leaked from Twitter and r/conspiracy, but here you are.

rebelsimile,

You gotta be nicer, they’re having a lot of trouble spelling the new name for Twitter.

Is… Is this an attempt to make people keep their subscriptions just to spite you?

Thats not what woke means at all. People who want to introduce kids to sexual content are pedophiles. Thats the word for them. But OP created a new profile, and it sounds like he did not select the childrens filtering. There are protections in place, but they don’t work if you don’t use them.

It is part of the whole woke thing. And even without the filters there shouldn't be only sex as the thumbnails

Rhynoplaz,

Define woke please. You keep using that word, but I do not think it means what you think it means

Sephtis-6,

Here you go:
Woke is an adjective derived from African-American Vernacular English (AAVE) meaning "alert to racial prejudice and discrimination". Beginning in the 2010s, it came to encompass a broader awareness of social inequalities such as sexism.

But these are also mostly the people who are ok with shit like this(some sex things on normal platforms where there is a gold chance a child is watching)

NuPNuA,

Why? Most of the world doesn’t have the US hang ups around sex.

Sephtis-6,
Sephtis-6 avatar

I'm not from the US but still don't want to have these soft porn scenes show to young children.
It's not about the US it's about common sense

NuPNuA,

Then set up a kids profile on there.

Sephtis-6, (edited )

So you basically would want each thing to by default have a porn filled homepage. Except when you(without children) prepare it for them.

There are many good shows that didn't need to have soft porn thumbnails. I would even day that they(soft porn thumbnails) are worse than normal because they have no useful info about the content of the show.

Edit: fixed some typos

mrvictory1,

I read a post from Netflix tech blog explaining the selection of a thumbnail. A video has many thumbnails and Netflix picks one for you depending on the shows you watch and your country. From the new profile watch movies / series that are unrelated with romance and the thumbnails should hopefully change.

ikilledlaurapalmer,

In the US, at least, if you’re looking for Myasaki films, they’re going to be on Max and not Netflix.

GiddyGap,

That stuff is mostly an issue in the rather puritan US. People don’t really think like that elsewhere.

I assume they are not making specific “clean” or censored version just for the US.

Rouxibeau,

Cast from your phone.

Skyrmir,

They’re playing on the latent puritanism in US culture. The only reason it’s done is because it pushes peoples buttons and draws interest. The other options are what you see over seas, where either free speech is harshly curtailed, or people get over it, and advertisers stop because it doesn’t cause concerned citizens to lose their shit any more.

SCB,

This dude is drawing entirely from puritanism so

gunpachi,

I was talking to my friends about the same topic yesterday and they didn’t seem to bothered by it.

On a different note, even some music videos that are coming out these days have really suggestive content and Youtube puts this shit right in the front page (for a not signed in session).

We live in a world where people are getting too used to messed up stuff.

SCB,

these days

youtu.be/OjyZKfdwlng

youtu.be/X53ZSxkQ3Ho

youtu.be/4Rg3sAb8Id8

Lmao

gunpachi,

I actually meant music videos like Cardi B’s WAP which is not even age restricted in Youtube.

SCB,

How is that substantively different from the videos I linked?

gunpachi,

They do have similar themes but the video I linked clearly has more explicit visuals.

Adults may see it as normal, but I certainly don’t want my kids to watch videos like WAP and get normalized to the such visuals and nudity.

Youtube should properly age restrict videos based on their visuals at least.

I’m sure you understand what I’m getting at.

SCB,

I don’t really. I police my children’s YouTube use, and don’t want a program doing it for me.

What’s Netflix? Ah right that service i cancelled over a year ago.

Cannizzaro,

Sail the high seas, my friend

theragu40,

Hulu does this shit too. I swear every other day it’s some new horror show or naked people as the main banner when we log in. I don’t want to look at any of that! Jesus christ, I should be able to log into our live TV app without having to tell my kids to turn away. We’re not prudes, I’m not offended by nudity, but my kids are in early grade school. They are easily frightened and they’re not old enough yet for me to be having “the talk” with them because Hulu can’t be bothered to keep their banners PG.

KrombopulosMikl,

Wait a second. Is there decent sex on Netflix? Where is it?!

OctarineYoda,

No, just thumbnails that suggest there is

i_stole_ur_taco,

Ah, the old 'bate and switch.

ech,

That’s actually an entirely different site. Lots of leather.

EherVielleicht,

Xhamster better stories, better french, better greek, better spain and I hope no hamsters…

Ilikepornaddict,

But probably a few hamsters.

wheeldawg,

Nah, you clicked x on hamsters, clearly.

realcaseyrollins,

I feel like if you're ace you won't be aroused so it's even less of a problem, no?

They could be sex-repulsed, which I imagine would make them disgusted maybe? I don't know I'm not asexual

Ataraxia,
@Ataraxia@lemmy.world avatar

I’m not repulsed by my SO but everything else is so gross…

NuPNuA,

Sex repulsed seems like more of a psychological issue than a form of sexuality.

Solarius,

considering it’s something the vast majority of people have strong reactions for it’s kind of to be expected. for most people it’s as basic as craving food. even if it wasn’t in marketing it’d still be everywhere in art (songs, movies, etc)

NuPNuA,

Are you simply disinterested in sex or disgusted by it. If the former seems like it would be easy to ignore what you see. If the later that seems like something other than your sexuality is at play.

wheeldawg,

You can be disgusted by the surplus of something you don’t care about.

Like I’m disgusted with sports. Not on Lemmy, I don’t really see it here unless I’m on All. But in daily life, it’s everywhere. I can’t fucking stand it. I don’t wanna see it hear about sports leagues or conferences, or athletes.

I like to see a little bit of Olympics, but that’s it. And only then because it’s the top people doing their thing, potentially seeing records for it. As for professional stuff, it needs to just die off, honestly. Meatheads shouldn’t get college degrees paid for just cuz they “throw ball good”.

Fucking disgusting. And I’m tired of pretending it isn’t.

NuPNuA,

Sounds like an American issue “college sports” aren’t a thing elsewhere.
