Since a lot of people are confused, here are some clarification about what this is all about. Hopefully, it will help people understand why this is important for all of us. If one marginalized group is respected than the others can too. #TheyWillNeverSilenceUs #TheySilencedYou

1) what's corporate censorship:
Suppression or prohibition by a group of people of any parts of books, films, news, etc. that are considered obscene, politically unacceptable, or a threat to security.

Here, we're talking about people in the higher seats of the see double u who intervened to stop any of their shows from having unbiased queer representation. #TheyWillNeverSilenceUs #TheySilencedYou

2) How S*PN is a victim of corporate censorship:
In this case, it was the erasure our a queer story specifically the erasure of C*s who's barely mentioned after he made his coming out and sacrifice to save D*an. #TheyWillNeverSilenceUs #TheySilencedYou

D*an's feeling that are never addressed after the declaration when s15 storyline was leading up to that point. But there're so many other characters that got silenced and erased for the sake of it. #TheyWillNeverSilenceUs #TheySilencedYou

Here's a thread of all the LGBTQIA+ characters they killed or erased: https://twitter.com/MishaCatboy/status/1330371564018298880?s=19

3) what other shows have met the same fate:

4) The problem with C*W's rep and why it's not good:
Just because they have queer representation doesn't mean it equals good representation. They perpetuate stereotypes of queer characters. #TheyWillNeverSilenceUs #TheySilencedYou

Here's an example: we have D*an but just because he's presented as this macho womanizer he can only be straight. #TheyWillNeverSilenceUs #TheySilencedYou

The network could help break these stereotypes, but they chose to enforce them. It's not about having a happy ending all the time, but it's not always having a horrible fate either. #TheyWillNeverSilenceUs #TheySilencedYou

We can't accept that this is all we're going to get. We need as much chance to have positive representation than a cis straight white man. These are the reasons why we're here fighting.
