Netflix is ​​at the center of controversy once again, and this time, it’s none other than Elon Musk calling for a boycott of the streaming service. Musk reposted a demo by TikTok account X Libs that calls out the streamer for some of its children’s programming, which contains LGBTQ+ themes that they consider inappropriate for the target audience. The account also notes that a Netflix children’s content creator was among those celebrating the killing of podcast host Charlie Kirk last month.

Shows found by Libs of TikTok are marketed to children ages seven and up. Some are even intended for “all ages.” Paranormal Dead End Garden It features a transgender character, despite being marketed to young adults. The conservative critic took issue with this and other topics and criticized it harshly Netflix In a post on X.

The tweet was retweeted by Elon Musk With the caption: “This is not good.” Musk’s breakup with his transgender child, who goes by the name Vivian, was widely publicized, especially during New York City Fashion Week recently, where Vivian made several public appearances.

Musk once posted about Vivian, saying, “My son died…killed by the awakened mind virus.” A transgender character in a children’s show Paranormal Dead End Garden So this is a revelation that hits home, and it’s no mystery why he supports abolishing the service it promotes.

Libs of TikTok also revealed that the show’s creator, Hamish Steele, celebrated the murder of Charlie Kirk and referred to the murdered podcaster as a “Nazi.” The X account has long been committed to fighting the “woke mind virus” by reposting and commenting on examples of it, many of which Musk has shared.

The people behind Libs of TikTok found several Netflix shows for kids that include topics they classify as “woke,” including Jurassic World:Cretaceous camp, coconut, Babysitter ClubAnd even a special strawberry cake Strawberry Cake and Berry Bug Monster.

The phrase “Cancel Netflix” trended on X when Musk shared Libs of TikTok posts, where people showed proof that they had canceled their Netflix subscriptions. This has also been reflected in the stock market, where Netflix shares have fallen between three and five percent since Musk called on people to “cancel Netflix, for the sake of your kids’ health.” Netflix has weathered boycotts before, but never before led by a billionaire tech giant who owns a social media company.

Other entertainment companies, e.g Disneythey have reduced the amount of LGBTQ+ content they create for children. Producers claim that the substance is not popular. This has angered activists seeking representation in films and TV shows, who claim the companies are giving in to an anti-LGBT agenda.

In fact, Netflix is ​​often viewed as anti-LGBTQ+ community because it has aired comedy specials by Ricky Gervais and Dave ChappelleWhich included jokes about trans people. In light of this, it is ironic that My neighbor Giant is currently facing backlash for being too “woke.” However, this is not unexpected, given the volume of their programs that could be considered in this category. The culture war with Elon Musk could be important for Netflix, whether it attracts new subscribers or drives away old ones.
