Netflix has a message for all of its employees who may not agree with the content it is making…
As you may recall, Dave Chappelle came under fire last year for his stand-up comedy show The Closer on the streaming platform due to some problematic jokes he made about the transgender community. Shortly after the special’s premiere, many Netflix staff members staged a walkout to protest the 48-year-old comedian’s offensive digs. However, that still did not sway CEO Ted Sarandos, who defended Chappelle and the company’s decision to keep the show up.
Now, it seems like Netflix is doubling down on the matter. According to Variety, the streaming service issued an updated culture memo to its employees on Thursday to include a section called an “Artistic Expression” policy. The new memo noted the company would not “censor specific artists” even if other employees consider the content “harmful.” Basically, it decided to warn everyone who is offended by the content that they can just find a job somewhere else. It read:

The section continued:
It then concluded that someone’s “personal values” over what they have an issue with will not be taken into consideration whatsoever, stating:
Wow… They really were not holding back with that warning. Okay, Perezcious readers, what are YOUR thoughts on Netflix’s updated culture memo? Do you agree with it or not? Sound OFF in the comments (below)!
