As one of the biggest streaming platforms in the world, Netflix, for the most part, receives an abundance of love and appreciation from the audience. However, on the other end of the spectrum, the streamer also cannot escape fan backlash. The internet is an unforgiving space and is absolutely not afraid to call out on Netflix if they notice any form of injustice. Consequently, the fans did exactly that with respect to the upcoming film, Do Revenge, starring Maya Hawke and Camila Mendes.

From canceling their favorite shows (First Kill) to its new versions with ads, Netflix ends up on the bad side of the audience quite frequently. This time around, fans are accusing the giant streamer of not promoting the upcoming Maya Hawke release, Do Revenge. Let’s find out what exactly happened.

Maya Hawke fans express their disappointment with Netflix

Recently, a Twitter fan account for the Stranger Things actress Maya Hawke accused Netflix of inequality. According to fans, the streamer has not boosted Hawke’s soon-to-be premiered film Do Revenge. They believe Netflix is purposely snubbing the movie, as it is “a queer piece of media.”

The fan account took it upon themselves to promote the film and at the same time called out the streaming goliath for unequal treatment of their content. Given that Do Revenge is set to premiere on September 16, the audience is livid, as many did not even know of its existence. “We need to protect queer media,” posted the dejected fan.

Some like-minded Twitter users also pointed out the hypocrisy, as Netflix doesn’t hesitate at all to promote its flagship shows, also starring the same actors. Camila Mendes plays Veronica in Riverdale, while Hawke portrays the role of Robin on Stranger Things. Fans even wonder if the platform has something against Women loving Women (WLW) AKA “Sapphics” content. They feel that the platform only promotes queer pieces “when it’s MLM (Men Loving Men)”

The let-down fans even questioned whether they should support the queer media produced by Netflix. “They do this everytime and we get hurt everytime,” posted one dejected Twitter user. Luckily, they decided to support and promote the queer pieces until the streamer does justice to them by marketing them the right way.

Was the lack of promotion for the Maya Hawke and Camila Mendes flick deliberate or an oversight? Do you think the fan backlash is justified? Let us know in the comments. Until the film is out, you can always re-watch Stranger Things for Hawke’s awesome performance as Robin.
