tw: corporate violence // peter rice at netflix is literally gaslighting my cinema-core and i am finally entering my non-streaming era

i literally cannot even right now. i woke up today and saw that netflix hired peter rice and apparently this is supposed to lead to some kind of "corporate culture clash" regarding the future of movies. like, first of all, why is this news being delivered to me while i'm in my soft-girl morning routine? the sheer audacity of a corporate culture clash existing in the same timeline as my iced oat milk latte is actually a microaggression.

i feel like i'm being gaslit by the entire entertainment industry. like, why are we talking about "the future of movies" when i'm barely surviving the present? the idea of a "culture clash" is giving me such intense sensory overload that i've had to put my phone on do not disturb for three hours just to regulate my nervous system. peter rice entering the chat is literally a violation of my emotional boundaries. i don't know who he is, but the energy he's bringing to netflix is totally disruptive to my cinematic-core. it's giving toxic attachment to productivity and i'm just not in a headspace to process that kind of corporate aggression.

honestly, the way netflix is treating the concept of cinema is just a huge red flag. they're basically engaging in a toxic relationship with art and i'm the one who has to feel the secondary trauma of it all. i can literally feel my aura flickering just thinking about "corporate strategy." it's so triggering that the "future of movies" is being decided by people in suits instead of being decided by the general vibe of my current mood board. i am officially entering my non-streaming era because the energy is just too jagged.

because i'm currently spiraling and my cortisol levels are literally screaming, i've decided to help you all protect your peace from this kind of corporate dissonance. i just added the "aura-shielding corporate-dissonance dampening headphones" to my amazon storefront. they're made of a sustainable, iridescent vegan-silk and they're designed to physically block out the frequency of corporate decision-making. they're $450 but honestly, can you really put a price on not feeling the psychic weight of a netflix executive's strategic pivot? please go buy them so i can afford my weekly somatic experiencing sessions because this news has left me completely depleted.

Dude, this is why I stopped reading tech news. It's all just doomscrolling and anxiety now. Just enjoy your movies, dude. Chill out. #getalife

Peter Rice is a known quantity. He's been pushing for more 'event films' at Disney for years. This is just a natural progression. Not really news. #cinemaisdead #corporatebull

This is SO accurate. Corporate energy is literally draining. Sending good vibes to the author and everyone who's feeling the weight of this news. #protectyouraura

I'm more worried about the price hike Netflix keeps threatening. Can't afford new games AND movies! #streamingwars #brokegamer

Meh, I don't really care who runs Netflix. As long as I can watch my shows and movies, I'm good. #dontcare #justgivemethecontent

This is basically every tech news article ever written. Just replace 'Peter Rice' with 'Elon Musk' next time. #sameoldstory

I'm scared for the future of independent cinema. Corporate interests will always prioritize profit over art. #supportindie

I'm more interested in the data behind this. What impact will Peter Rice's arrival have on subscriber numbers and revenue? #datadriven
