However, on the anniversary of charlie Kirk\u2019s death, some conservatives interpreted this as a deliberate mockery of Kirk\u2019s assassination, which occurred a year prior. Critics argued that Netflix\u2019s post was disrespectful and insensitive, prompting calls for viewers to cancel their subscriptions in protest. the incident sparked widespread online reactions, with some figures condemning the post as a tasteless political stunt and others questioning whether the timing was coincidental. the event intensified conservative criticism of Netflix, framing it as part of a broader pattern of perceived woke hostility.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><br \/>\n<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC \"-\/\/W3C\/\/DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional\/\/EN\" \"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/TR\/REC-html40\/loose.dtd\"><br \/>\n<?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><html><body><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_0)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>Exactly one year after the tragic death of Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk, a peculiar social media post from an entertainment giant has raised all sorts of eyebrows \u2014 and ire.<\/p>\n<p>Netflix\u2019s official United Kingdom and Ireland social media account posted early Thursday, sharing a few images from the show \u201cThe Gentlemen.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The images show actor Theo James\u2019 Eddie sharply turning his head to look at Kaya Scodelario\u2019s Susie, despite the attention that should be paid to the bride.<\/p>\n<p>Netflix accompanied these images with the caption, \u201cNearly did himself a neck injury,\u201d which is British slang for someone almost hurting themselves due to a sudden and abrupt double take.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Nearly did himself a neck injury. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/7HKifplq5g\">pic.twitter.com\/7HKifplq5g<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Netflix UK &#038; Ireland (@NetflixUK) <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/NetflixUK\/status\/2098018651496435849?\">September 10, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.x.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>Only \u2026 that\u2019s not how many online conservatives interpreted that slang, given that this was the anniversary of Kirk\u2019s passing.<\/p>\n<p>Kirk was killed when he was struck in the neck by a bullet last September.
