Thank you @bjcolangelo.bsky.social for this article! Queer-inclusive shows like Dead End were already struggling for support, lacking promotion and getting canceled early and more often. We need these narratives and should be supporting them now!

We’ve been researching these attacks on queer-inclusive TV shows for about the last year or so. The data is really something. Queer-inclusive shows were 2x more likely to be canceled or “ended” in 2024, despite performing as well as other shows.

Queer representation is life-saving. This is grim.

Elon Musk Leads Campaign To Force Netflix To Remove Shows With Trans Characters Musk's posts have been seen by tens of millions of users, and many conservatives are now attempting to force Netflix into a removal of LGBTQ+ content.

1. Led by Elon Musk, the far-right has exploded in a campaign to get Netflix to remove shows with queer and trans characters.

If Netflix capitulates to their demands, an already strained market for LGBTQ+ animators might become even more dire.

Our review of cancellations and renewals for 2025 will begin next month!

'The Ultimatum: Queer Love' canceled after two chaotic seasons Netflix is saying goodbye to the queer edition of The Ultimatum, which encouraged cast members to try out other relationships before committing to their own.

Netflix is saying goodbye to the queer edition of The Ultimatum, which encouraged cast members to try out other relationships before committing to their own.

The grim aspect of this retroactive outrage is that the fascists already won on this front. These people are getting mad about shows from the '10s and early '20s because there's vanishingly few now. They've already been purged. But fascism can never "win", it always looks backward for more enemies.

The comeback is being revived by hbo max

They’re talking about Lisa Kudrow’s show The Comeback which is getting a third season a decade later—this could be us, never give up!

Screenshot of a Facebook post by Dan Satterfield: Ok, I keep getting asked about how to complain about Kimmel. The best way to complain that will have the biggest impact? See if you have a Sinclair or nexstar station in your area. 2. Watch the local newscast tonight or some time this week. 3. Note the companies that bought tv adverts. 4. Call them and let them know you will boycott them until they quit supporting that media company. Trust me. I worked in tv for 45 years. Nothing you do will have greater impact. Nothing.

Disney just canceled yet another LGBTQ-inclusive series Goosebumps is the third show with queer storylines that's been canceled by Disney as of late.

Goosebumps is the third show with queer storylines that's been canceled by Disney as of late.

Power speaks about media representation the same way it speaks about education, and that's because both have a similar capability of making a more connected, informed, diverse, and empathetic citizenry.

All progress is decried as going too far + being too much, even though it never goes far enough.

I think this conversation often misses that Hollywood has never actually achieved diverse storytelling. We've never had a time when representation for marginalized people was anywhere near prevalent or nuanced enough. We're simply losing the little we had - even though data shows viewers want more.

Isn’t annoying when petty stuff like “real life” gets in the way of the important things like “doing math about gay TV shows”?

I would love to see this essay! The topic is evergreen, but especially relevant right now.

Hate is built on fear. The cure to fear is knowledge, experience, and empathy. So the backbone of any censorship movement is their ability to convince people that those three things are actually bad.

We have a very easy argument to make if you think about it... We just need to be louder about it.

“banning pornography” is bad on its own but it is imperative that everyone understand that these people consider the very existence of queer people to be pornographic

they consider the most chaste depiction of a queer relationship, or an openly trans person, to be porn and they want it banned

All forms of anti-LGBTQ+ censorship are connected by the explicit goal of isolating queer people from others in society. I'm glad Amy chose to speak up.

This is an incredible and thorough resource, thank you @thetransfemininereview.com! Desperately infuriating that we need it.

I would bet that an intentional re-release of these queer shows, given proper hype and promotion, would see strong returns.

Even hit shows see a huge drop in views in the months after their debuts. That the likes of DBDA, S&B, and KAOS, which received little promotion and were quickly shelved, are still performing at >1/4 the popularity of these shows speaks to the evergreen appeal of queer-inclusive stories.

For comparison, the following shows released in 2024:

Smash hit Baby Reindeer got 4.2m in the first half of 2025. Bodkin got 2.1m. 3 Body Problem, 5.2m. Supacell, 4.5m. The Diplomat S2 got 4.3m. Sweet Tooth, whose 3rd season aired in 2024, saw 4.5m across all 3 seasons, averaging 1.5m per season.

In the first 6 months of 2025, our partner fandoms Warrior Nun and Shadow & Bone saw 3.9m and 2.8m views respectively across their seasons, despite being 2+ years old. Dead Boy Detectives, which aired in 2024, got 1.4m views. KAOS got 3m in this time frame. Across 3 seasons, Heartstopper got 4.5m.
