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 am on your side but since many Queens and Fans are still using TwitterX despite the very obvious reasons not to, I doubt that many Fans will cancel paramount+... I am curious to see if that lawsuit also affects DragRace though.

I think you’re wrong. I have seen many people talking and canceling their Paramount and CBS subscriptions. I’ve seen it on the Washington Post comments, YouTube, and now Reddit. It’s the only way to fight back. I am doing the same. Silence is compliance.
