Honestly curious, do you not think international viewers deserve to have their non-dubbed, non-English content, even though they pay just as much for their subscriptions as Americans?

There's different offerings for different regions. And Netflix pulls a lot from movies and shows that have been on T.V. before or were made a little while ago. So what's offered for each region they probably have a lot of shows in their language (that is if they come from a place that produces enough of them, I guess, I suppose some places probably don't make as many as others). So I don't think there's necessarily a lack of their own media but just that because of how big and widespread Hollywood and shows produced here (and Canada and the U.K.) that people watch a lot of them. Many of them have their own dubs over the actors though. Which is why I find it funny people act like they only ever get to see the subtitles (granted not all of them will have this option but it's not like it never happens).

I'm sure there's people who don't speak English who argue whether the sub or dub is better. People just try to turn this into a "check your privilege" thing because...?

Absolutely not. As I said in the post you're replying to, this wouldn't be a big deal on its own because not everything Netflix does has to be for me personally.

It's annoying specifically because I think Netflix' English-language production is really weak, and it seems like they want these non-English-language genre shows to also appeal to English-language viewers. But the non-English-language shows (for the most part) aren't really good enough to be worth watching in subtitles in my personal opinion, and they're not dubbed well enough to be worth watching dubbed. So it just feels like so much of Netflix' content is just betwixt and between.

So, again, it's annoying as a part of Netflix' larger approach to content, which I think is bad overall. I absolutely do not have a problem with them making non-English-language content in general.
