The CW Releases Statement On Zero Tolerance For Racism & More On Social Media

The CW is taking a zero tolerance stance on racist, misogynistic, or hateful comments towards the LGBTQ+ community.

The network, which is home to many hit shows including Supergirl, Black Lightning, Riverdale and more, released a new statement across all of it’s social media pages, including the separate show accounts.

“Words matter. So does action. We can do more. We will do more,” the statement starts out. “The CW appreciates and welcomes enthusiastic and thoughtful commentary about our shows. We are committed to making our social pages a safe place for our fans and talent to engage with each other.”

“We will not tolerate and will block racist or misogynistic comments as well as any hate towards the LGBTQ+ community,” the network says.

This new statement comes a week after The Flash actor Hartley Sawyer was fired from the show after past racist and misogynistic tweets resurfaced.
