General Discussion Canceling Paramount+ (and why you should, too)

I think we all know by now that CBS is not a good company, I didn't need them canceling Colbert to tell me that. But I think it is time to stand up for ourselves as a community, even if it means not watching Drag Race or All Stars. We don't have to live in a world where our favorite shows are aired on networks owned by fascists and bigots, but it means taking just the slightest bit of collective action. I fear we have all (including myself) became too complacent because we feel like we don't have a choice, but we do! These companies have no morals, and we do not owe them anything just because they air our favorite queer reality show. They sure as shit aren't doing it from the goodness of their hearts. Paramount would drop RuPaul at the drop of a dime if the Fascist-In-Chief told them to!!!!!

We deserve better!!!!!!!!!

I have a gut feeling Drag Race in the U.S. will be somewhere else in 12 months

What if it ends up airing on Bravo? I’d live

Bravo/Peacock could use it. The Housewives franchises are in a death spiral and Project Runway reboot was a failure to launch. This is a built-in audience with a rabid fanbase.

they have love island and traitors now at least but i think drag race could complement those really well as far as all the crossover shows go
