Nearly half of Netflix’s children’s shows feature LGBT propaganda

While Netflix and Warner Bros. lock horns over a possible merger, some parents are worried it will expand the LGBT messaging seen in nearly half of Netflix’s children’s programming to other programs that would come under its umbrella.

Children’s programming is a powerful tool for changing culture by speaking directly to children.

By age four, most children [in the USA], 58 per cent, have their own video tablet, according to Common Sense Media. But the shows aimed at children can’t be trusted with your child’s brain.

Television producers are using their entertainment platforms to normalise LGBT values in the minds of very impressionable audiences and it is becoming the rule, not the exception.

Some 41 per cent of children’s shows on Netflix are pushing the LGBT agenda, according to a recently released report by Concerned Women for America (“CWA”).

Pentagon Slams Netflix’s Gay Teen Marine Series ‘Boots’ as ‘Woke Garbage’

The Pentagon is calling out streaming giant Netflix over its new military series Boots, which follows the story of a gay man enlisting in the U.S. Marine Corps in the 1990s.

The Pentagon accused Netflix of pushing an “ideological agenda” with the series, according to the New York Post.

“Under President Trump and Secretary Hegseth, the US military is getting back to restoring the warrior ethos. Our standards across the board are elite, uniform, and sex-neutral because the weight of a rucksack or a human being doesn’t care if you’re a man, a woman, gay, or straight,” Pentagon press secretary Kingsley Wilson told the paper.

“We will not compromise our standards to satisfy an ideological agenda, unlike Netflix whose leadership consistently produces and feeds woke garbage to their audience and children,” the statement added.

The gay military series debuted on Netflix early this month a week after War Secretary Hegseth unveiled the administration’s new personnel standards last month.

While speaking to the U.S. military’s top officers at Marine Corps Base Quantico, in Quantico, Virginia, Hegseth called for the restoration of a “ruthless, dispassionate and common sense application of standards.” Hegseth spoke about the importance of keeping standards and having them be “uniform, gender neutral, and high,” and added that “leaders set the standard.”

“Today, at my direction, every member of the joint force at every rank is required to take a PT test twice a year, as well as meet height and weight requirements twice a year. Every year of service,” Hegseth said. “Also, today at my direction, every warrior across our joint force is required to do PT every duty day. Should be common sense, I mean most units do that already, but we’re codifying. And, we’re not talking like hot yoga and stretching. Real hard PT. Either as a unit or as an individual. At every level from the joint chiefs to everyone in this room to the youngest private, leaders set the standard.”

“Standards must be uniform, gender-neutral, and high. If not, they’re not standards. They’re just suggestions. Suggestions that get our sons and daughters killed,” Hegseth insisted.

The Rainbow People Are Not Going To Leave Your Kids Alone

he rainbow people won’t leave the kids alone. 

We were told that the LGBT movement was about adults — giving everyone equal rights and getting the government out of the bedrooms of consenting adults. But this was a lie; LGBT activists were always coming for the children.

Just look at the recent kerfuffle over Netflix. Right-wing influencers and activists have drawn attention to the many Netflix shows promoting LGBT content for very young children (e.g., a cartoon with a little boy putting on a dress to dance for his two dads). Prominent figures such as Elon Musk and Utah Sen. Mike Lee have joined in the denunciations, and the backlash seems to have hurt the company’s stock price. 

It remains to be seen whether this is a temporary dip or whether Netflix is about to take a permanent hit a la Bud Light. What is clear is that Netflix is deliberately grooming kids with LGBT messages. 

Most attempts to deny this malintent are lies so obvious as to be insulting. The suggestion that Netflix shows are just reflecting or representing reality (“LGBT people exist, get over it”) is laughable. If they were just trying to capture reality, there would be a lot more happy, churchgoing evangelical characters on TV. Likewise, if the goal is just to provide representation for misunderstood minorities, why aren’t there more positive portrayals of, say, Latin-mass-attending Catholic families with seven kids?

The truth is that Netflix and its peers carefully curate what they include in their offerings — rival Amazon Prime Video is going so far as to scrub guns from the promo pictures for James Bond films. Pretending that Netflix’s content choices are neutral is ridiculous. Thus, the most compelling argument from those defending Netflix is also the honest one: which is to ask why pro-LGBT content shouldn’t be included in kids’ shows — that is, why is it OK for the prince to kiss the princess, but not for the prince to kiss another prince?

This is an awkward question for many of those attacking Netflix because they have embraced the sexual revolution, including much of the LGBT agenda. From Elon Musk’s personal example to the many right-wing influencers cheering when other right-wing influencers in same-sex marriages buy babies and deprive them of their mothers via commercial surrogacy, these are not people with a coherent conservative sexual ethic.

And yet there is more than cynical grift and political opportunism here. Yes, some people are happy to attack their political and cultural foes for things they accept in their friends, but others are questioning the sexual revolution in general, and the LGBT movement in particular. Two issues have especially induced this reconsideration. The first is that kids were not part of the deal; the second is the sudden prominence of the T portion of LGBT. And, of course, these often overlap. 

The result is an unsettling of the settlement that had been tacitly accepted following the triumph of the campaign for same-sex marriage, a campaign that had focused on adults and promised that redefining marriage would not affect others. This promise was false, and people are realizing it, in part because LGBT activists keep pushing the envelope, for example, by inserting LGBT messages into Netflix shows for kids.

Many people who accepted same-sex marriage were surprised by the LGBT movement’s immediate and aggressive pivots toward both transgenderism and by its claiming children as part of the “LGBT community.” They should have seen it coming; these moves were always implicit, even if many people didn’t realize it. After all, the “T” has been part of the movement for years, and the “born this way” narrative presumed that some children are, from birth, part of the “LGBT community,” that they possess intrinsic and immutable gender identities and sexual orientations that must be accepted for them to flourish.

In truth, there is no gay gene or set of genes, and LGBT activists such as the lesbian New York Times columnist Lydia Polgreen have admitted that the “born this way” mantra was just a useful lie. The reality is that human sexuality is complex, with many variables, including environmental and mimetic factors. Which is to say that what children are shown can shape not only their view of sexual morality but also their sexuality itself. 

We should not be surprised by this formative influence. After all, even left-wing outlets such as The New York Times and The Guardian have run pieces worrying about how porn has deformed the sexuality of a generation of young men, specifically by normalizing sexual strangulation.

YouTube and Netflix Deploy AI and Behavioral Tracking to Intensify Targeted Advertising

YouTube and Netflix are moving aggressively to expand the ways they track and monetize viewer behavior, leaning further into AI-driven systems and behavioral profiling to fine-tune ad delivery.

YouTube’s latest experiment with intrusive advertising comes in the form of “Peak Points,” a format that leverages Google’s Gemini AI to dissect video content and identify the exact moment a viewer is most emotionally invested.

Ads are then served immediately after these moments. While the idea is to capture attention when it’s most focused, the reality for viewers could mean jarring interruptions right after an emotional payoff or a pivotal scene.

This development was announced during YouTube’s Upfront event in New York, where the company pitched it as a smarter way to keep audiences engaged with advertisements. But the concept is likely to be unwelcome news for users already frustrated by mid-roll ads. Now, even emotional immersion is being treated as just another metric for ad targeting.

Meanwhile, Netflix is unveiling its own strategy to transform user engagement into a high-resolution marketing blueprint. At its recent advertising presentation, Netflix rolled out a host of new tools that feed off detailed user data, facilitated by what it calls the Netflix Ads Suite. The platform is now operational in North America and will soon be deployed across all countries where the ad-supported model is available.

A key feature of the system is its “Enhanced Data Capabilities,” which allow brands to merge their customer data with Netflix’s audience data. This process, conducted through intermediaries like LiveRamp or directly through Netflix, enables highly targeted ad delivery. To support this, Netflix has granted data access to third-party giants including Experian and Acxiom, firms notorious for building detailed consumer profiles for advertisers.

Netflix is also introducing a “clean room” setup, a controlled data-sharing environment where outside partners can analyze combined datasets without directly accessing raw user information. However, such structures often do little to curb the broader privacy implications of the data they facilitate.

Another part of Netflix’s expanded toolkit includes “brand lift” measurement, essentially tying a user’s viewing habits to how they perceive particular brands. It’s a more aggressive step toward turning personal entertainment choices into commercially valuable behavioral signals.

In tandem with these tools, Netflix has previewed new ad formats powered by generative AI. These include interactive mid-roll and pause-screen ads that can include prompts, overlays, or even buttons to push content to a second screen. These formats are being framed as personalized and responsive, and are slated to be available across all ad-tier markets by 2026.

Netflix, the FBI, and a Federal Frame Job That Took Down a Wellness Company…

There’s a dangerous trend happening in this country that we’re all aware of—and it’s picking up speed. The federal government is using the justice system as a weapon. Not to punish real crimes, but to punish the people it doesn’t like. That’s what lawfare is, and it’s been the go-to move of the FBI and DOJ for years now.

Conservatives have felt the bitter sting of lawfare more than anyone. From Douglass Mackey to the January 6ers to President Trump himself, the feds have gotten really comfortable twisting the law into a pretzel to go after political enemies. But here’s the curveball—what happens when they start using those same dirty tactics on people or groups who aren’t categorized as Trump supporters?

That’s what makes the case against the California-based wellness company OneTaste so disturbing. Not because the group is conservative—far from it—but because their prosecution reveals just how brazen and far-reaching lawfare has become.

OneTaste started as a Silicon Valley wellness company, but over time, it started to be accused of being a “sex cult.” We’re talking taboo rituals, a tight rein on emotions, and a setup that felt more like a tribe than a business. Most conservatives would take one look at this group and say, “No thanks”—but that’s not the point of this story, as you’ll find out below. And that’s precisely what makes the case so important.

Charity Involved With Adolescence Suggested Boys Engaging in “Locker Room Banter” Can Lead to “Genocide”

The charity which met with Prime Minister Keir Starmer over a plan to screen the Netflix show Adolescence in UK schools previously published material suggesting that boys engaging in “locker room banter,” advocating for “strict gender roles” and “bragging” can ultimately lead to genocide.

Yes, really.

Adolescence is a 4 part drama based around a 13-year-old white boy who murders a girl after being radicalized by incel culture and ‘Manosphere’ social media influencers like Andrew Tate.

Despite the fact that the show is a complete work of fiction, it has somehow become a rallying cry for new policies and laws which will ultimately lead to more online censorship.

The child character in the show is a white boy from a married home, despite producers admitting the plot was primarily based on the murder of a 15-year-old black girl by a black Ugandan immigrant.

Tender has been instrumental in working with the producers of the show to bring it to a wider audience, leading to a plan to broadcast the series in all UK schools which has been backed by the government.

Representatives from Tender in addition to Adolescence co-creator Jack Thorne and producers Emma Feller and Jo Johnson met with the UK Prime Minister on Monday.

Missing Boy Whose Case Was Featured on Netflix Show Located by Law Enforcement After 7 Years

A boy who was kidnapped seven years ago, and whose case was featured in a Netflix show, was coincidentally found in Douglas County, Colorado.

Deputies discovered 14-year-old Abdul Aziz Khan on Feb. 23 during an unrelated call about a home burglary, according to KDVR-TV in Colorado.

Two suspicious people had reportedly entered the vacant home, which was up for sale.

Upon arrival, deputies discovered two children in a vehicle parked in the driveway, one of them later identified as Khan. Police have not released the identity of the second child.

The two burglary suspects, a male and female, exited the home and told the deputies they knew the realtor.

But after four hours of attempting to identify the pair, police came to a startling realization.

The woman was 40-year-old Rabia Khalid who was wanted for kidnapping, and the male was 42-year-old Elliot Blake Bourgeois, her husband.

Khalid is the boy’s non-custodial mother, according to the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children.

Kamala Lands $20 MILLION Book Deal And People Have Questions…

All time worst presidential loser Kamala Harris is set to make $20 million from a book deal, and may sign an exclusive contract with Netflix, according to a report citing a Harris insider.

The book is set to recount her side of the story regarding what went down in the White House, when Harris replaced Biden as the nominee.

The Daily Mail notes that the source told them “Virtually the moment Kamala lost to Trump, the offers began pouring in from the publishing world for her to do the definitive book on what really went on between Joe and Kamala,”

“They are throwing around advance numbers in the $20 million range, maybe more with other publishing rights,” the source adds.

$20 million just happens to be the exact amount of debt Harris’ campaign ended up with.

Facebook let Netflix see user DMs to help them tailor content as part of a close collaboration between the two tech giants, new court documents claims

Facebook‘s parent company Meta allegedly allowed Netflix to peer at its user DMs ‘for nearly a decade’ to help the streaming giant better tailor content for its own users, an explosive lawsuit has alleged. 

Court documents unsealed on March 23 that were filed last April as part of a major anti-trust lawsuit against Meta appear to have exposed the intricate relationship between two of Silicon Valley’s biggest players. 

The class-action lawsuit, filed by two US citizens, Maximilian Klein and Sarah Grabert, alleged Netflix and Facebook ‘enjoyed a special relationship’, with the social media platform giving the streaming site ‘bespoke access’ to user data. 

The two Silicon Valley players also agreed to ‘custom partnerships and integrations that helped supercharge Facebook’s ad targeting and ranking models’ from at least 2011, thanks to the personal relationship between Netflix’s co-founder Reed Hastings and Facebook’s founder Mark Zuckerberg. 

Lawyers alleged that ‘within a month’ of Hastings joining Facebook’s board of directors, the two companies signed an ‘Inbox API’ (Application Programming Interface) agreement that ‘allowed Netflix programmatic access to Facebook’s user’s private message inboxes.’

A Netflix Drama Reinforces Pernicious Misconceptions About Pain Treatment

Former New York Times reporter Barry Meier, whose book about OxyContin is the main basis for the Netflix drama Painkiller, acknowledges that the drug is “valuable for treating severe pain caused by cancer or chronic health issues.” The problem, he says, was that OxyContin’s manufacturer, Purdue Pharma, “could only make billions from it by lying, by saying it was good for everyday, common pain.”

Netflix’s six-part miniseries highlights that second point, vividly portraying Purdue Pharma’s reckless marketing of OxyContin. But it dismisses the caveat: that there are legitimate medical uses for this drug and other prescription opioids, which can make life bearable for patients who otherwise would suffer from excruciating pain.

Like the 2022 Hulu drama Dopesick, Painkiller embraces an indiscriminate aversion to opioids. The same attitude has inspired ham-handed restrictions on pain medication, which have helped drive drug-related deaths to record levels while leaving millions of patients to suffer needlessly.

Although Meier’s take on opioids is more nuanced than the one presented by this adaptation of his book, he shares with the screenwriters a desire to pin a complex, long-running social problem on a single villain. That much is clear from the subtitle of his book: “An Empire of Deceit and the Origin of America’s Opioid Epidemic.”

As Meier’s former employer frequently puts it, OxyContin is “widely blamed” for “igniting the opioid crisis.” But is it rightly blamed?

OxyContin, which was introduced in 1996, is an extended-release version of oxycodone, a semisynthetic opioid that had long been available in products such as Percocet and Percodan. OxyContin contained a larger dose of oxycodone, which was supposed to be gradually released over a 12-hour period, such that a patient could obtain steady pain relief by taking two pills a day.

That safeguard, according to labeling approved by the Food and Drug Administration, was “believed” to reduce the drug’s abuse potential. As it turned out, the original design could be readily defeated by crushing the tablets and snorting the powder.

According to federal survey data, however, nonmedical use of prescription pain relievers rose for 11 consecutive years before OxyContin was introduced. And regardless of how appealing it may have been to drug users, OxyContin never accounted for a very large share of the opioid analgesic market.

During litigation, Purdue presented data indicating that OxyContin accounted for just 3.3 percent of pain pills sold in the United States from 2006 through 2012. After adjusting for potency, ProPublica calculated that the product’s “real” market share was more like 16 percent.
