Discovery Channel Street outlaws

So Discovery has invited the hate filled Hoskinsons to be on their npk or street outlaws show. Nothing like having a bunch of hate filled people with their "Let's go Brandon" T-shirts and logos and stickers on. Good job guys. Maybe you should do some research on the people you invite on your show because with these guys and especially the "Old Man" the hate runs very deep.

Desired outcome: Don't air a show with these bigots on it.

Discovery Channel Discovery + channel "book of queer" & "trixi motel"

The new Discovery + programs "The Book of Queers" & "Trixi Motel" are presenting drag queens bumping & grinding in suggestive clothing & dances that are promoting the TransGender & HomoSexual lifestyles to small, young impressional children. They are both smut that should never be allowed on TV. Consenting adults can be or do anything they wish... but it dosnt need to be presented on television. I can only hope that thousands of like minded Americans will let Discovery know that this programming is totally unacceptable

Desired outcome: Take the offending shows off the air! It is trash!

Snakebit99 and Jerry Dickey. Here is not the place for your NeoNazi agenda. Maybe people don't want to see and I'm using your words here: shows with men and women bumping and grinding in suggestive clothing and dancing that are promoting HetroSexual lifestyles to small young impressionable children are shut and shouldn't be allowed on TV. Take that offending trash off the air. It has no place in your programing. It's disgusting and only perverts want to see it. Also FYI its child abuse to use your children to force your agenda, hate, intolerance, bigotry, on others

Discovery Channel woke agenda - trixie motel, book of queer and generation drag

Disney and Discovery are so out of touch with what the majority of Americans feel today. Their perverted drag queen shows and queer shows, etc. are turning off people . You can't have a child watch anything on Discovery anymore without being interrupted with one of their perverted commercials promoting Trixie Motel, Book of Queer and some type transgender show. I am surprised they have not come up with a show about bestiality. I will no longer be watching anything Disney or Discovery promotes and I promise you, I am not the only one who feels this way. Their ratings will be tanking because they are appealing to a very small minority, and the majority of Americans are disgusted with this garbage.

The reals are catching up with the ideals in this area. Liberals have painted themselves into a corner by insisting that transgender women be considered women legally and otherwise. Now try saying to the transgender woman athlete they are not a woman and cannot compete in whatever sport it is with biological women. I wonder what type of hypocrisy they will come up with to justify separating transgender women from actual women. Are they women or not? I love it when reals catch up to ideals, and the fall out that happens that the idealists didn't consider. Then, after the round peg won't fit in the square hole, the idealists blame the hammer instead of their own stupidity. You will find that this is not unique to this particular thing. All ideals will fall to reals, and then the idealist will immediately start pointing fingers, even though they are the ones that accomplished their goals to the ultimate detriment to their agenda. It's no riddle, at least not to me.

Be careful when suggest you speak for the majority of the country. While I have not seen the shows, there is nothing wrong with other people expressing themselves. As long as it follows the guidelines for broadcasting.

Thank you Nick for being an open minded person that is not promoting the speed of hate, bigotry, and intolerance. You said it better than I could. And so simply and camly too. I do feel that if they can't show gay, bi, trans shows then they can't show straight, actual, or faith stuff either

Discovery Channel Discovery network

I love Discovery channels, up until now. We the people do not want to see teen transgenders. Give them a Pride channel. Keep it off mainstream TV. This is disgusting. I do not want to even see the promotions about it. I pay alot of money to have the Discovery Channels. I am not alone about this situation. Teen age boys in dressing! Give them their own network. STOP SCREWING UP OUR CHILDREN!

Desired outcome: READ THE NOTE

Discovery Channel Advertising roundup weed killer

After Monsanto was found guilty and had to pay out huge sums of money to people who suffer health issues from using Roundup, I can't believe you choose to support the monsters at Monsanto by running commercials for Roundup!

I've seen this commercial several times now while watching Moonshiners.

It's bad enough that our illustrious federal government has given their blessing on this poison as being safe, and the upper management of Monsanto has declared it safe enough to drink but quite conspicuously refuses to actually drink it. Perhaps you back the idea to Discover for yourself if Roundup is safe enough to drink.

What will you do about this atrocity? My money is on you'll do nothing simply because you are being paid to run the commercial.

C. Haskin

Desired outcome: stop promoting a dangerous-to-human-life chemical, provide your response, and apologize to your viewers for being so irresponsible

Discovery Channel overy Channel Series - TRUE CRIME - My Daughter Joined a Cult, June 9, 2022

An appeal to drop this series, depicting Bhagawan Nithyanada in poor light. Please investigate proper facts before starting and commenting on Indian Gurus. Bhagawan Nithyanada is not a cult leader and is venerated and worshipped and held in high esteem by millions across the globe. Have you ever bothered to investigate and talk to the daughters about whom you are proposing to run a fictitious series and disgracing Indian culture and heritage? How would it feel to run something like this on Jesus Christ. For heavens sake stop stooping so low and spreading poison. Act like a responsible global citizen at least have the ethics to investigate and find out the truth. Media can do much damage and you are hurting hindu sentiments.

Desired outcome: Please stop this series

Discovery Channel Naked and afraid xl

I just watched as three ladies in the current season cut down a large old growth tree just because they wanted to try to build a dock. They are there for 60 days (maybe) and they fly home to there lives in the States. That tree which probably supported a good many inhabitants of that forest will still be gone. This was so upsetting I am so disappointed in a show I have been watching since its start. The show's producers MUST have some form of care and control over the affects of this TV SHOW on the environments in which it visits. Absolutely disgraceful!

Desired outcome: Care for the environment you are in. Control your contestants' behavior, when it comes to destruction of the environment they are visiting.

Greg your twisted vews of the Bible is not everybody else's problem. Ya preach God is love but yet target people for hate judgment and want to caus them harm. Go back and read the commandments. Also the original wording for things was not about being gay but actualy about sleeping with young boys.

Discovery Channel Get new and different people or cancel the show.

I have watched Naked and Afraid from the beginning. Last nights (May 8, 2022) episode will be my last. There is no reason this show should be more than two hours. It started as a one hour program. A few weeks ago it was 2 hours and 40 minutes. Last night it was 3 hours and 13 minutes. That is ridiculous. The same people (Legends), over and over Steven and Gary both 6 times. Plus incoming Legends Matt, Jeff and EJ. The show has Jumped the Shark (pun intended). If you can't get new and different people it is time to cancel the show. I removed it from my DVR. I have watch my last.

Discovery Channel hoffman family gold

This poor guy, you're portraying him and his crew as professionals. As a maintenance tech/welder at a corporate limestone mining company this show is a joke. The dramatic staged scenes are so obvious to anyone who has experience in similar situations. You might as well just let them carry around a playbook in case they forget they're lines. It makes the industry look bad in my opinion.

Discovery Channel Discovery plus - lack of cc (subtitles) and sudden inclusion of advertisements

What can I say about this? Not worth the money...i had to pay to get this service when they removed certain programmes from TLC, and now I find I can't even enjoy them because (a) subtitles are hit and miss and now there are adverts during the programme.

When I first started to subscribe to the app you advised that there were subtitles, come to find only some programmes have that capability, so you could be watching a series the first one you see you think great, then 2 after, no CC. There are hearing impaired people using this service and we are being excluded because of your lack of either purchasing the subtitles or upgrading your technology.

This is outrageous as this is not what I originally signed up to and to suddenly include an option to remove the adverts (of course you have to pay for that) is doubly underhanded.

I shall be getting rid of my subscription as soon as I can and just doing without, as what you are doing to subscribers is totally out of order

Desired outcome: Subtitles for hard of hearing people and removal of advertisements without having to pay a fee

Discovery Channel Program complaint

I have just watched the program 'Alaska: The Last Frontier' S7 Ep7

During this episode I see 1 of 3 men shooting a pistol and then a 12 bore shotgun at a glacier and causing a massive cave on the face of the glacier. They then had to zip off quite rapidly before the wave got to them.

Having been to Alaska on a cruise ship I am aware that there are many laws about disturbing glaciers. The bay we went in only allowed 2 ships per day to keep the damage down to a minimum.

Question is are these men going to be prosecuted for their actions regarding the face of the glacier. ? I find it disgraceful that they could be allowed to 'play about' like this and on TV as well..

Regards

Desired outcome: Prosecution for their actions to the glacier
