The backlash against Netflix continues to grow as users accuse the platform of promoting “woke” content that they believe is unsuitable for children. The criticism gained traction after Elon Musk urged people on social media to cancel their subscriptions. Soon after, many users began deactivating their Netflix accounts to show support for the campaign.
While outrage spreads online, some users are pointing out the other side of the story. They highlight Netflix’s efforts to create culturally rich and educational content, such as its upcoming animated series Kurukshetra.
Kurukshetra is an 18-part animated series that reimagines the epic Mahabharata, focusing on the moral struggles and valor displayed during the 18-day war. Viewers say this series proves that Netflix is not limited to adult or controversial themes.
Several users praised Netflix for producing devotional and mythological content like Kurukshetra and Mahavatar Narsimha, saying such shows reflect Indian culture and values.
As the debate continues, others argue that the platform deserves credit for offering diverse programming from modern global shows to Indian mythological series that appeal to family audiences. Despite ongoing criticism, Netflix’s range clearly includes more than just “woke” narratives.

Wow!! Netflix with an Indian animated series ‘Kurukshetra’ and it’s what India needs in cinema. Our ancient tales in different cinematic forms. The animation is quite nice, the dubbing maybe could’ve been better but nonetheless very promising. #KurukshetraOnNetflix #Kurukshetra pic.twitter.com/LzwZ42ju92
