why is netflix being cancelled

Netflix is being "cancelled" or boycotted largely due to controversy involving Hamish Steele, the creator of the canceled Netflix animated series "Dead End: Paranormal Park." Steele allegedly made offensive remarks related to the murder of conservative activist Charlie Kirk, which sparked outrage, especially among right-wing social media circles. Elon Musk fueled this movement by urging his followers on X (formerly Twitter) to cancel their Netflix subscriptions, framing it as protecting children from content with transgender themes and criticizing Netflix's support for diversity and LGBTQ+ content. This campaign is also tied to wider cultural debates over content appropriateness, with critics accusing Netflix of pushing pro-transgender ideologies onto children and being insensitive to conservative concerns. The backlash coincides with broader social media activism and reflects existing tensions about corporate values and content choices on streaming platforms.
