The paper added that during a marketing meeting for the series, officials said that “data showed audiences found queer stories off-putting and suggested downplaying those themes in materials promoting the show.” But since race and queer sex were the whole point of the series, Jacobson and her team were incensed by Amazon’s position on the show.
The clash between Jacobson, her producing partner Will Graham, and Amazon’s executives led to Amazon dumping its evaluation system which downplayed queer themes. And while the short final season was given the greenlight, it has now ultimately been canceled by the streamer.
I’m willing to guess this is across the board. Why they can’t understand that lgbt is a niche market is beyond me. Make a specific service or channel for that group. Stop trying to push it out to the masses

Maybe Amazon learned from their recent disasters.

C'mon man. You ask this a lot but you already know it's intentional. They do understand but that's irrelevant. The goal is to condition society to believe that queer is normal.
True true. But with the latest woke show getting cancelled at some point you would think that some exec would realize my point.
It's a niche market for actual viewers but wildly, incredibly popular among decision makers.
I know. I guess every time I see these woke projects fail the logical part of my brain keeps thinking that
Because as we know, if you stomp your feet hard enough literal reality and data will just succumb to your will.
And companies are absolutely required to lose money on your dreams as well.
