    I feel out of the loop on this one.

    Did Netflix have a publicity fail recently where they argued about how posting some flyers in a common area for employees was enough to satisfy some law?

    (All I get from searching “Netflix” and “Blind” are news results for “Love is Blind”).

      The post from yesterday in this community is the poster, a lot of people pointed out that blind people wouldn’t be able to read it, that’s mostly it.

        Thanks, I wandered in from “All”. Content looks fun in here so I’ll subscribe and stick around for a while.

        I still need to watch the latest Netflix adaptation, of the show, it just hasn’t been a high priority for me yet.

      They put out a casting call describing toph as a a character and encouraged visually impaired people to apply. It is a running gag in the series. I am unsure wether they used a description which might have helped their course.

      No fail of any sort, just a public post looking for actresses.
