Oh my god netflix why do you do this to me - Empty Closets - A safe online community for gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgendered people coming out

notquitebutch · 17th Aug 2011, 08:48 PM

Welp, I LOVE the movie better than Chocolate. I lost my downloaded copy and I couldn't find another good quality one, and I reeeeeeeally wanted to see Judy's "I'm Not a Fucking Drag Queen" song (andmaybethebodypaintingscene) so I watched it on Netflix. I figured I could just bury it in the recently watched list with some other stuff, and it's not like the title is revealing.

Netflix decided that because I watched like, 10 minutes of this movie that it needed to add an entire new section to our netflix library!

Fuuuuuck me.

Learn from my mistake, fellow closeted gays; Netflix is evil, don't watch anything in the LGBT section, no matter how tempting it is. :|

Phillip · 17th Aug 2011, 08:56 PM

Haha! Netflix is trying to out you! This belongs in my thread: Weirdest outing experience
Thank god my grandma canceled her netflix, I've been leechin' and was about to add sooo many LGBT movies to the queue

.

notquitebutch · 17th Aug 2011, 08:57 PM

Ahaha oooh man. If my family notices and something happens, I'll totally put it in that thread!

They're all kind of oblivious so I guess we'll see though ahaha

Melusine · 17th Aug 2011, 08:58 PM

Went through the same thing! Tell whoever that you were watching 'Camp' (because it looked funny and has music), and it turned out to be a gay movie so Netflix added that section.

notquitebutch · 17th Aug 2011, 08:59 PM

You're a genius <3

Phillip · 17th Aug 2011, 09:03 PM

Just start watching random movies to throw netflix off. I think this echos the whole TiVo recommendations fiasco. Recording one episode of Queer Eye for the Straight Guy could make your recommendations gayer than The Pride Parade!

notquitebutch · 17th Aug 2011, 09:05 PM

Ahaha oh man, really? I don't have TiVo so I had no idea it did that!

It's not safe anywhere anymore :'D

Lol, not really, just a little more sneaky and devious than is healthy. There are lots of mainstream movies that have 'gay' themes, and that can throw off your Netflix. I mean hell, I order "Brokeback Mountain" (it's not the gay cowboy movie...it's the gay shepherd movie, DAMMIT) and "Boys Don't Cry" ONCE, and suddenly I'm equipped with a fully functioning 'gay and lesbian' section.

Actually, the whole concept kind of bugs me. Why not just put them in with the comedies/dramas etc? The concept of making different sections only further serves to say there is something inherently 'weird' about us.

Idk. Even something as inane as 'Showgirls' is considered a gay movie in some circles. And so is 'Black Swan' (although frankly, I don't think that movie belongs anywhere. Seriously, what a bizarre movie) so there are plenty of things to 'tip' you into other categories.

Allegro molto · 18th Aug 2011, 03:56 PM

Netflix always recommends me gay-themed movies. Fortunately, I pay for my Netflix, and you cannot access it unless you're logged onto my PlayStation 3, and you can only do that if you know my password.

mischa91 · 18th Aug 2011, 04:46 PM

Well i'm not out to my parents but they share access to my netflix account. i watch all sort of gay themed films and shows on my account and the front page is basically a homage to the gay. If my parents have noticed they haven' said anything. I sometimes think they forget they can watch netflix through their wii.

Tonight i went to watch the l word only to find it's now not available to watch instantly. damn netflix.

Hitchhiker · 18th Aug 2011, 06:34 PM

What you do is you rate all the gay movies 1 star

THEN THEY NEVER GIVE YOU A GLBT SECTION!

Because they think you hate all the gay movies.
(I've watched like half the GLBT movies on netflix this way. LOL)

**TheEdend** · 18th Aug 2011, 08:37 PM

^Genius idea

Also, if you want to watch any other LGBT movies then logo has a few decent ones for free if you want to check it out

Hope people don't notice!

Austin · 19th Aug 2011, 12:19 AM

I thought you were going to complain about the price increase.

midwestgirl89 · 20th Aug 2011, 12:30 AM

Lmao that's funny, Netflix is "out" to get us. I had the same problem and a friend of mine who doesn't know I'm gay came over and there was gay stuff all over my Netflix. Damn you Netflix, lol.

Austin · 20th Aug 2011, 05:15 AM

Although it's a bit unfair to rate all the LGBT movies 1 star....

GuardianKitten · 20th Aug 2011, 11:01 AM

Oh hell. Thanks for the tip.

/really wants to see boys dont cry, is annoyed it's marked as "lesbian" movie

Phillip · 20th Aug 2011, 11:04 AM

It's a really powerful movie, I remember seeing a clip of it in a Race/Gender Studies class and had to brainstorm for a while before I could remember the title. Needless to say I watched it immediately

. You must find a way!

GuardianKitten · 20th Aug 2011, 11:07 AM

Yeah i've seen clips too. Hm. Power of google, there is a way to see anything.
