Warner and Discovery in controversy for removing inclusion and diversity content on HBO Max

Recently HBO has confirmed a second season of House of Dragon, The Game of Thrones spin-off that broke records, according to a report of the Hollywood Reporter, explains that the decision was made thanks to the numbers and expectations caused by its premiere last Sunday, August 21.

But Warner Bros and Discoverythe companies behind HBO, continue to cause controversy, since since the merger of both companies was announcedthings within the streaming platform have changed a lot, productions have already been cancelled, series and movies have been removed without prior notice and it was announced that they would adopt different policies imminently.

Following an investigation by TheDailyBeast It was reported that allegedly it would be seeking to eliminate all inclusion and diversity content from the platform streaming.

The interviews he conducted TheDailyBeast of some former employees of HBO Max bring to light the deep problems that the company has, since the testimonies assure that the new administration would set aside both workers and a large part of the productions that involve minorities.

What is detailed in the report is that a large part of the layoffs that have occurred in recent weeks, primarily affected people of color, various minorities, and part of the LGBT+ community, keeping only white people and top executives.

For some former employees, the clearest example of this policy was seen in the batgirl movie cancellation that it had a Latin protagonist and in the decisions to cancel series instead of negotiating with the producers so that both parties were satisfied.

Until now, Warner has not commented regarding The Daily Beast investigation.which calls into question the future of HBO Max productions and workers, as we remember that rumors indicate that up to 70% of the team behind the streaming service could be fired.
