Thursday, September 10, 2026, marked the one year anniversary of the senseless death of conservative influencer Charlie Kirk. who was the victim of a political assassination by a man who was in a romantic relationship with a transgender individual.
Also on Thursday, the Netflix UK & Ireland X account shared images from ‘The Gentlemen’ Season 2 with the caption referencing a neck injury — Kirk died after being shot in the neck.

The post, which is still up, drew widespread scorn for mocking the death of Kirk, the father of two small children. In fact, a Netflix spokesperson called any such criticism “ludicrous.”
“This post directly references a plot point from our U.K. series, ‘The Gentlemen,’ which launched its second season on Sept. 3. Suggestions that it has any link to sensitive real world events are inaccurate and ludicrous,” the spokesperson said, according to Fox News.
On the other hand, conservative commentator Matt Walsh led the charge in denouncing the post: “I’m apparently naive because at first I wanted to believe this was not a Charlie Kirk joke. But these ‘neck injury’ references are a meme among retarded demonic leftists. Way too much of a coincidence that Netflix posts this today of all days. Clear what was intended. Despicable.”

Walsh was far from alone in his condemnation of Netflix — here’s a sampling of other responses, as seen on x:
One year since Charlie Kirk was assassinated, and this is what Netflix chooses to post. Absolutely shameless.

One of the great advantages of our time is that, if you’re a conservative, your enemies are totally open and honest about their desire to kill you and destroy everything you love. It’s clarifying.
They don’t intend to live peaceably with us. Fine. Then we won’t live peaceably. https://t.co/0MUUuW8uvg

Years ago Netflix brought me in to discuss doing Faith based films. At the end of our meeting, the executives looked at me and said “we understand that there’s an audience for the kind of movies you make, we just don’t know why.”
These people are sick. https://t.co/cYRxMZbuca

This is the company financially backing Bonehead Bob Bonta and his jihad against Paramount, by the way. https://t.co/cF2v45vsZV

This is DISGUSTING
Netflix appears to be subtly mocking Charlie Kirk’s ass*ssination on this anniversary of his death.
Woke Netflix hates us.
