what did hamish steele say about charlie kirk

Hamish Steele, the London-based animation director and creator of the Netflix show "Dead End: Paranormal Park," made highly controversial comments about Charlie Kirk following Kirk's assassination. Steele referred to Charlie Kirk as a "random Nazi" and used profanities in a response to UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer's tribute to Kirk. Steele wrote, "Why the f*** are you even commenting, dkhead? Your sympathy for any of the families being affected by your weapons, but a random N zi gets shot and it's a public statement. You're such a f ing evil sh**." These remarks provoked significant backlash and led to a mass boycott campaign of Netflix, with notable figures like Elon Musk publicly canceling their Netflix subscriptions in protest. Musk also called Steele a "groomer" and criticized the show's promotion of pro-trans content targeted at children. Steele later responded to the backlash, denying that he celebrated Kirk's death and mentioning that his social media accounts had been flooded with messages accusing him of doing so. Amid the continuous controversy, he decided to keep a low profile moving forward.
