With Love Is Blind and Sexy Beasts, Netflix is shaming people for having physical attraction

Medium

"Netflix is making something that is not a thing, a thing," says Shani Silver. "For those of us who have the ability to see, seeing is one of the things we’re allowed to do. It’s a completely valid human capability, and it’s allowed to factor into who we’re attracted to without us feeling 'shallow.' The greenlighting of Sexy Beast (honestly did no one think, any point, what the actual f*ck are we doing?) is the latest in Netflix’s commitment to shaming us for something normal. Not that I think this should happen because leave singles the hell alone, but why doesn’t Netflix just cast blind people? That has to be faster than applying monster makeup."
