Netflix responds to viral homophobic tweet in best way possible
Quote:Earlier this week, a Twitter user went viral with an edited Spongebob Squarepants meme supposedly demonstrating how Netflix are forcing “unnecessary gay characters” in every new television series. You know, TV that actually reflects reality.
Worryingly, the post earned over 135,000 likes and 35,000 retweets, as well as hundreds of alarming anti-LGBTQ comments and rhetoric such as, “Heterosexuality is what allowed the continuity of the human race. What is normal isn’t forced.”
Also: “If homosexuality was normal could you take every gay person put them on an island and could they continue? Why do gay people need straight people to have kids so they can adopt or any other way they need to have children?”
Now, Netflix have stepped in themselves and honey, they are not here for this homophobia. Like, at all.
The official Twitter account for the streaming service – and we’re not talking about a country-specific account, we mean the big one with 7.8 million followers – quoted the tweet with the most epic of clap backs.
“Sorry you have yet to realize that every gay person is very necessary,” they wrote.
