I, along with plenty of others, have noticed that Netflix doesn’t really care to promo their shows that have predominantly racially/ethnically diverse casts.
Like, most of the people I know in real life have never heard of On My Block, Dear White People, Chewing Gum, The Get Down, One Day At A Time, Sense8, etc. For those of you on a specific tag, how many of these shows have you heard of or watched yourself?
The problem is that these shows get little to no promotional time as opposed to shows with predominantly white casts or main characters.
On My Block has a season 2 coming out in, supposedly, 11 days. There’s been zero billboards, zero posters, no trailer, didn’t appear in the ‘What’s New In March’ video, and nothing but a tweet from only one of the various Netflix side accounts.
Dear White People, from what I remember hasn’t had much promo in the past. I remember seeing the season one trailer, but I don’t even remember s2 had a trailer or something. I had to learn about s1 from an article on why the show is important. On top of that, I just found out it’s been approved for a season three. No hype whatsoever for it.
You know what shows did get tons of promo and praise? Stranger things (only 2 black kids and their black parents), Sex Education (only 3 black and 2 brown characters, from what I remember, out of a majority white cast), Chilling Adventures of Sabrina (two black characters from what I remember and from how much I watched), Santa Clarita Diet (no POC from what I can remember, correct me if I’m wrong) and so many others with majority white casts.
That’s not to say I don’t like some of these shows, bc I love Stranger Things and Sex Education is such a good show, but this is just an observation I made.
I remember finding out about the One Day At A Time reboot (which consists of a large latinx cast, as well as black recurring characters) through tweets begging people to watch bc they weren’t sure Netflix would renew for a season 2 and again for a season 3 and now again for a season 4. It’s such a great show too! One that tackles mental health, addiction, LGBTQ+ themes (they have a queer main character with an NB SO), the political climate and how it is to live as a poc in America.
Chewing Gum is a British Sitcom I found on Netflix that they claimed as an Original (idk if it is bc I'm from America and I literally don’t care about Britain and their shows/movies), but I saw more promo for Sex Education than I did for Chewing Gum (whose main character is a black woman and her black family).
While I haven’t watched Sense8 or The Get Down, I can still say it’s disappointing knowing that there was a lack of promo for either of those shows either. I remember people begging for more people to watch both of these shows so that they’d get renewed (I’d only found out after they got canceled).
On top of that, I can’t think of a show with predominantly asian characters. Maybe there are and I haven’t heard of it, but there aren’t a lot of Netflix originals with a predominantly asian cast.
The point is, Netflix really does like to promo shows with predominantly white casts, but where’s the love for their successful shows with predominantly diverse casts? Some of these shows have higher ratings than the shows with mostly white characters that Netflix pushes and promos so much. Some of these are just as praised by critics as their other white cast shows, but there is little to no promo for them. This causes fans to beg for their shows not to get canceled, even though the shows themselves are widely received and get positive reactions. These shows are good, and they have large fanbases, but Netflix doesn’t promo them enough as others, so they get pushed to the backburner and that’s not how it should work.
TLDR; Support racially/ethnically diverse shows such as On My Block, Dear White People, One Day At A Time, and plenty of other shows of the likes. These shows are important for representation. Give Netflix hell for not putting out enough promo for these shows. They can literally solve their show cancelation crisis by promoting their shows more, to reach wider audiences!

If you listen to the entire video, they definitely make some cooing noises, so I guarantee that the art is accurate if they could actually touch it.
I need this kind of support system in my life 😂😂😂
Don’t let people make fun of you for liking japanese culture.
I am living in japan right now and let me tell ya:
There are people here who can’t speak or understand English who play nothing but Missy elliot and ludacris, even in businesses like housing offices and restaurants.
There are people who have cowboy hats and dead cow skulls in their home because they idolize what they assume American homes are like.
There are people who learn English strictly through music videos and American television shows.
There are entire karaoke bars with english songs often sung by people who have no idea what the lyrics mean.
Japan often takes American shows like the powerpuff girls and make japanese versions of them.
They often mistake common Americans for celebrities. I have been mistaken for Micheal jordan, tiger woods, Shaquille o'neal, Tyler perry, and saddest of all: queen latifa.
The act of sprinkling English into your japanese sentences is considered cute and cool and is popular with teenagers. Bonus points if you happen to use it correctly.
Japanese stores sell shirts with english on them and people buy them not knowing that most of those word combinations are nonsense.
Don’t let someone shame you for singing an anime opening, using japanese in your sentences, wearing clothing with japanese on it, ect. If anything, this is just one more thing that you have in common with them.
The American/Japanese cultural exchange is so pure and wonderful and I love it so much
OK BUT RESONATE WITH THE SHIRT THING THOUGH
My Chinese relatives buy me shirts from China with English letters on them hoping I think it’s cool
I have a shirt that says “Hi Quality Uality”
It’s amazing
It happens alot.
And then what’s really great is Americans getting tattoos of Chinese characters thinking they mean one thing when they really don’t
Also a topic where the reverse happens.
lemme tell you..i have been in a grocery store in Japan and heard the unedited Get Low playin over the intercom..it was literally a Katt Williams moment
Oh, unsensored songs are pretty common.
I should not be hearing an unsensored ‘Magic Stick’ playing at a family restaurant.
And the best thing is when literally no one shows that they understand what is being said.
I was in a Chinese cafe one time and they had obviously put on their “fuck you” playlist. I mean, uncensored versions of Fuck You by Lilly Allen, Fuck You by Cee-lo Green, etc. No one else had any idea.
Oh, also, I got my favorite shirt ever in a little tchotchky store in Sichuan:
that last one got me holy shit.
i wish i had
TOUCH MY BUTT
then there would be mo need to imprese you
o need to want you.No naed for. loring you
No need tar crying over you.Noneed for
heartbreaks.No nead for paln oru tears.No
neard for forgoure promises .nead for
For every american teenager that is screaming the lyrics to their favorite anime opening, there’s likely at least 1 or 2 Japanese teens singing English profanities at a karaoke bar.
I want all these shirts though

I’ve never really wrote a tutorial before so apologies if this is bad
1. okay first thing I do is pick three colors, a mid, dark, and light. I like to check the colors in greyscale to make sure there’s enough contrast between each one.
I then plop down a blob of whatever my middle tone color is.
2. next, I take my dark color and just sort of randomly place it around. I try to make sure there’s a good amount of both the mid and dark tones spread throughout. I personally like to keep it kinda messy. I also have pen pressure on for both brush size and opacity, so I can have some blending action going on.
3. for the next step I do the exact same thing as before, except with the light color.
4. aight this is where we start adding details. see how you just have a bunch of colors and edges where two colors meet? use the eyedropper and go to an area where two colors meet, eyedrop a color, and then use that color to draw in your grass blades. I do this at every point where colors meet. should note I personally like to use a square brush, but you can really just use anything.
5. you can technically stop at the last step if you’re going for a more simple look, but to add more details I go to the “empty” areas of solid color and just draw in random strokes using a color nearby. it’s just a way to fill up the empty space.
6. basically more of the same idea of eyedropping and drawing. for more variety so things look interesting, I like to add random plant shapes.
7. and so the grass doesn’t look too plain, I add random dots of color and pretend it’s flowers and stuff.
and there you have it, this is how I approach drawing grass.
*starts feeling guilty because i know i could be doing something more productive* …sure hope that goes away
who told you that you could call me out like that
FUCK IT THE WHOLE WAY UPP
In heels killed it !
Fucking yaaas!
