Stop the release of “Lesbian Space Princess” on Netflix

The Issue

I am reaching out to urge you to prevent the upcoming movie "Lesbian Space Princess" from being released on Netflix. This movie presents a terrible and offensive depiction of the LGBTQ community and is deeply sexist in its premise. As someone who values fair representation in media, the storyline of this film is both confusing and damaging.

The plot revolves around a royal princess from the fictional land of Clitopolis, which is already an eyebrow-raising name, setting the tone for the rest of the film. This princess embarks on an intergalactic mission to rescue her ex-girlfriend, a bounty hunter named Kiki, who has been kidnapped by the "Straight White Maliens." The portrayal of straight white males as the blanket villain group in this narrative is not only absurd but an unjust caricature that does more harm than good in promoting understanding and acceptance.

This film reduces complicated social issues to over-simplified and frankly insulting caricatures. As a viewer who looks for stories that present LGBTQ individuals with depth and humanity, I find this portrayal to be offensive and it only perpetuates harmful stereotypes. Instead of forwarding the cause of better representation, this movie seems to mock and trivialize serious identity issues.

Netflix has a powerful platform and, with it, the responsibility to offer content that reflects and respects the diversity of human experience. By allowing "Lesbian Space Princess" to air, Netflix would essentially support skewed representations and recycled tropes that have plagued storytelling for so long.

I strongly believe in the potential of Netflix to be a major force for good by promoting films and shows that enlighten and broaden minds instead of perpetuating harmful clichés. Therefore, I urge Netflix to reconsider the release of "Lesbian Space Princess" and instead focus on acquiring or commissioning shows that portray all communities with the respect, honesty, and integrity they deserve.

Help us send a message that representation matters and that we demand better from a platform we trust with our entertainment time. Sign this petition to stop this movie from being released on Netflix and pave the way for media that truly represents and respects every part of the spectrum.
