    Tell Netflix: Stop platforming rapists and rape joke artists

    Once again, Netflix has let down survivors of sexual violence.

    David Choe is just the latest in a long line of actors and comedians to whom Netflix has handed a megaphone to showcase their problematic views on rape.

    Why is this important?

    Netflix has remained completely silent on a disturbing story told in 2014 by "Beef" actor David Choe, in which he admitted to sexually assaulting a woman, fetishized rape, and referred to himself as a "successful rapist."

    Since telling the story, he's claimed that it was a "joke," and he's bullied his detractors into taking down the podcast episode with the problematic story--all while getting paid for his role in Netflix's "Beef" series.

    Choe is just the latest in a long line of actors and comedians to whom Netflix has handed a megaphone to showcase their problematic views on rape.

    We've successfully pressured Netflix in the past, and we can do it again. Thanks to pressure by the UltraViolet community, Netflix offers unlimited parental leave for up to a year to its salaried employees. The company has also spoken out against an anti-abortion law in Georgia, a state where it frequently films its shows. 

    Netflix can be moved, and it can set a new standard for the industry. It is a major entertainment company, and sadly, like the rest of Hollywood, its workplaces and spaces are rife with a disturbing pattern of sexual abuse. The company has profited from artists who have sexually assaulted women, including Louis C.K. and Aziz Ansari. It regularly airs and profits from stand-up comedians who tell rape jokes, including Jimmy Carr and Dave Chappelle.

    Take action now to demand that Netflix stop this toxic practice!
