Netflix is usually the streaming service to feel the wrath of queer fans, considering how many LGBTQ+ shows have met their demise after just one or two seasons on the platform, but newer streamers like Disney+, Max, and Hulu have now begun removing canceled series. Though the main worry in regards to queer representation over the years has been the Bury Your Gays trope, lately, it seems that sentiment has shifted from killing queer characters to instead canceling queer shows, and in some cases, removing them from platforms entirely. Streaming service curators and social media managers are dusting off their Pride collections and celebratory posts, and while corporate Pride sentiment has always felt hollow, the messages and collections curated by these streamers feels more performative than ever this year, mostly thanks to the brutal year queer representation has had.
