The comments are savaging it, and well, yeah. This almost feels like it has to be self-aware. I mean, with quotes such as:

"You can't pander to the gays, they can smell it."

How could it not be....right?

[NoviDon]

This is nothing compared to that Furry dating show they're about to roll out.

 

[infinitys_7th]

The Unambiguously Gay Q(-Force)uartet

 

[ZehDon]

Looks very self-aware. So, could be funny - could be cringe. We'll find out, I suppose.

 

[YCoCg]

When even the gays are asking "wtf is this shit?" You know you've gone too far.

 

[HarryKS]

Netflix going a bit too far with that LGBTZXY stuff. There's just too much of it now, as if it's what people want.
If people wanted that type of content, they'd just sign up for specialized channels like OutTv.

 

[Boss Mog]

In 2021 you can no longer parody things because real life has exceeded parody by far.

 

[SJRB]

5 seconds into that trailer and already I want to straight up kill myself.

This is the second time in 24 hours I am legit annoyed some of my money helped to create an abomination.

Netflix, please stop.

I just am wondering who is in control of the purse strings at Netflix. Just how do all these godawful ideas keep getting approved? Who is approving all this? How does one look at the pitch/premise for these things and go "wow! I bet that'll be a big hit!", for real?

 

[hemo memo]

This Netflix gay push and shoving gay stuff into every show is turning people off at least in my region based on social media posts and people I meet in real life. It is so bad people I meet are seriously wondering if It is a requirement to greenlight the shows/seasons.

 

[BadBurger]

Seems like they're poking fun at themselves, and there really isn't that much TV out there that caters to gay people, so go for it. It's not for me but I hope others enjoy it.

 

[Toots]

I find that stereotypistic baiting shit incredibly offensive and i'm not even gay.

 

[GymWolf]

Jesus fuck.

 

[INC]

Gay

 

[The Cockatrice]

 

[mcjmetroid]

Very insulting show to gay people.

 

[sol_bad]

I'm watching Bonding with my wife at the moment. Pretty damn funny show. I'd give this a shot.

 

[IDKFA]

What a fail.

If you want to make a show with gay characters, don't make them offensive gay stereotypes.

Looking at the backlash this trailer is getting, I wouldn't be surprised to see Netflix pull the plug on it.

That's never going to happen, you could do permanent rectal damage if you suddenly pull the plug out.

 

[Dr.Morris79]

Think it's time to unsub.

 

[Birdo]

LGBT Twitter are tearing this apart

Glorious backfire.

Well this was unnecessarily graphical...

 

[jason10mm]

Looks like I cancelled netflix just in time.

Of course someone there is probably saying "We lost another one, just not enough 4 quadrant homogenized bland checklist material, we need more!"

 

[FunkMiller]

This is like making a show about black people, where they all eat watermelons, throw spears at one another, and take crack.

 

[Jack Videogames]

I didn't know the Babylon Bee did video skits!

 

[TTOOLL]

I'm glad I'm not supporting Netflix anymore.

It is.

 

[Krappadizzle]

It'll just go on another long list of pandering shit I don't watch on Netflix anyways.

 

[VAL0R]

Trash

 

[BaneIsPain]

I am not the target audience. If someone can enjoy brickle berry or big mouth, pretty sure there are fans of this show.

 

[sol_bad]

Think it's time to unsub.

The Naked Director season 2 just came out, it's far from time to unsub!!!

 

[AfricanKing]

This seems super self aware - Not something I would watch but not everything needs to be catered to my viewing pleasure

 

[Jack Videogames]

I use Netflix to watch asian dramas, "true crime" shows, weird movies, anime and Terrace House, and my children use it to watch cartoons when their YouTube time is over. My wife and I started watching Sweet Tooth and it's the most sanitized, by-the-numbers show ever. Netflix shows could be produced by an AI; just take an European or a lesser known American comic book, race-change a few characters and strip it of anything that makes it unique.

 

[Werewolf Jones]

Might watch it for irony purposes

 

[PleaseDontBanMe]

RegretEra approved

 

[Amory]

idk seems like it could be alright. not something i'd watch but the characters are clearly 'in on the joke'

netflix puts out so much garbage that this doesn't really stand out to me

 

[DeepBreath87]

Not something I would watch but not everything needs to be catered to my viewing pleasure

If only everyone had the attitude about everything…

Show looks horrendous, but so does like 90% of what Netflix puts out. Just goes to show how hard it is to actually create quality television.

 

[TGO]

It's very rare I laugh out loud theses days to the crap they put otu
But this did it for me
Sorry, I'm a bad person

 

[belmarduk]

People whose delicate sensibilities have been so upset by the existence of a cartoon about gay spies can always switch to pureflix.

 

[Arimer]

Eh, seems pretty bad.

 

[YCoCg]

RegretEra approved

Even they're tearing it apart as a complete misfire. I haven't seen anyone who thinks this show is a good idea (apart from Netflix of course).

 

[eyesabitdull]

This seems like a self-aware, borderline satire kind of animated show in the veins of a number of great adult swim like shows.

I'll give it a watch, but sheesh, some of you guys are really jumping out of your seats really fast over this.

Not every thing that isn't attuned to what "life is supposed to be like" to you is some glorified pandering to an audience.

This looks like it shits on both audiences regardless of stance.

 

[Outlier]

It seems self-aware.

I actually wasn't repulsed.

I smirked at one of the jokes.

I... hope it's decent.

 

[eyesabitdull]

What a fail.

If you want to make a show with gay characters, don't make them offensive gay stereotypes.

I'm so glad people like you never existed decades ago.

Imagine all the amazing comedy shows, movies, stand up specials, if all of them hunkered themselves down and limit their jokes to what could be the least offensive.

Ridiculous.

Are you watching the same trailer we are?

"You're acting like Citibank at pride." That gave me a chuckle.

 

[teezzy]

Is it so hard to just treat gay people like normal humans? They're not caricatures and they're not flawless either. Let's cut the horse shit. Nobody cares if you're a dude who likes sucking dicks at this point, but this pandering horse crap is obnoxious. Anything for these companies to make a buck.

I've had gay friends and coworkers, dated a couple bisexual women too. Have a lesbian aunt etc. They're all different people and it's so fucking insulting to keep insisting they all think alike.

Not treating people with respect is hella gay and I think even W Werewolfgrandma would agree with me there.

I hate this

Brickleberry was shit and it was still 100x times better than this crap.

The alphabet mob vocal minority got what they deserve.

They pushed the narrative that being gay is a major treat in someone characterization and now they are reaping the fruits of their work.

The fact that even reeeee hate this crap is sweet as hell, they wanted this.
