There are many reasons why people might be mad at David Zaslav and his Frankenstein-like media conglomerate Warner Bros. Discovery, but people are particularly angry right now about how the company is trying to pinkwash itself all while undermining actual representation, and doing business with one of the most prominent transphobic voices in the world.

This recent kerfuffle gained traction among fans of the romantic comedy drama "Our Flag Means Death," which was canceled in spite of its wild popularity, while less-popular (and less LGBTQ-focused) shows continued on.

But, don't get it twisted — that's not the only reason people are mad. The fact that Max keeps removing animated series and canceling major movies, reportedly for tax write-offs, has put off numerous fan bases from the streaming service. On top of all of that, they're looking to raise the price of Max. It's no surprise that many folks are calling for the firing of the CEO.
