Exclamation Netflix Cancels Woke Kids Show With Non Binary Character

  • Ridley Jones premiered in 2021; its fifth and final season was released last week
  • A recent episode centers nonbinary bison Fred, who comes out about their name and pronouns to their grandma
  • The animated series is canceled, but is still available to stream on Netflix
  • the writer is a Lesbian



Netflix has 'quietly canceled' a woke animated kids' show which features a
bison who comes out as non-binary to its grandmother.

Ridley Jones released its fifth and final season last week, which was not
given any promotion, the show's creator Chris Nee claimed in a tweet.

The two-time Kidscreen Award winner and Emmy nominee series received
harsh criticism online following the release of Episode 8 of Season 5, 'Herd
Day' which centers around a bison called Fred, who comes out as non-binary
to their grandmother - who is voiced by Cyndi Lauper.

Some viewers blasted the show on Twitter claiming Fred's non-binary identity
was slipped into the show's narrative.

Proof, if proof be needed, that crazy people are in charge of most things today.

Getting upset over a child's TV show? Those said little snowflakes that cry 'woke' every second like they're demented pokemon truly have nothing going on with their lives, do they? Like, you have to be seriously sad to get upset over an NB character or the writer being a lesbian. I almost pity the 'woke' screeching crowd, they lead no mark lives defined by bitterness that's ultimately pointless.

Also 5 seasons is a lot for Netflix, it more likely came to a natural end but that's not likely going to get clicks from gullible people who share this ****.

LT (and Pro Sniper), its threads like this or the BBCAN live feeds thread that needs me to say this... For the love of God, please stop. These threads aren't helping with a potential revival to this forum if we're gonna be so negative and antagonistic all the time. And to be honest, it's making a lot of people uncomfortable.

When BB was on, people came on and posted on the BB forum, argued for 8 weeks and then left, very few people looked in the other parts of the forum or knew they existed, there is not going to be any revival of this part of the forum, there will be a boost hopefully in the BB section that is it

Netflix isn't respectful to series at all, do you know how much hard work is put into that? just for Netflix to say whenever it isn't getting the reception they want: ur cancelled

Nicky is largely right on this one, Netflix have absolutely no strategy or "long game" for their shows and if viewership drops they get canned. Purely a numbers game.

I think what's unfortunately happening with a lot of diverse TV is bad writers are hijacking the movement to try and score brownie points, instead of what would normally happen which is the Show would get torn apart for being ****.

It's not that Shows with minority characters can't be good, it's the shortage of good writers in Hollywood that's the issue at the moment.

And as a side note about that one Tweet on this thread, how the **** is a Show about the lead being Non-Binary #grooming?

My favourite type of conservative are the ones that can’t even describe the things that they’re so vehemently against, it’s a beautiful sight

How do you translate that to the current SVB banking crisis, which is also being blamed on "woke banks" or "wokeness?"

At that point it's clear that type of person just hates the particular group of people being focussed on if they can't explain why they don't like the Show in question.
