In a bizarre case of pandering to a political side gone wrong, the NXonNetflix Twitter account decided to promote the latest season of the angry metal red panda Aggretsuko anime with an anti-capitalist message that quickly fell on deaf ears.

The Twitter account’s strange initial post that started it all:

Shortly after using the anime to take a shot against capitalism, the person running Netflix’s account went into damage control and started giving context for that particular scene in the anime, which made their whole point appear even weaker:

Fans of Aggretsuko and anyone with any glimmer of common sense quickly rallied against Netflix’s social media post, explaining that a successful corporation thriving in a capitalistic environment shouldn’t really come out against it:

Surely they won't mind if we pirate their shit then, at least what's worth pirating anyways.

"Polar" is actually bretty gud movie, check it out. Somehow it slipped through their alphabet radar.

This is what happens when you get a cringelord to run your corporate Twitter acct.

I'm baffled. How did a company think this would work? Even with all the stupid decisions Netflix has made recently.

How could hiring this millennial with a BA in indigenous studies to be run our twitter account go wrong? They're tech savy!

Are Japanese companies not aware this lunatics are using their IPs to promote their own political propaganda? I'm pretty sure Sanrio wouldn't be amused.

This is the sort of promotion that really doesn't make me wanna watch it, or even suggest it to anyone else.

Maybe the show has just this one gag but they ran it into the ground exposing it that way.

Netfilx is super extra autistic recently. First the pedophilia and now communism.

Never watch any weeabo shit dubbed, not only because it sounds awkward but because it's starting to become a thing to flip the original script for "progressive" points.

That show itself is pretty good tho, surprisingly mature coming from the creators of Hello Kitty.

I'm excited to hear the inside story just like the google employee drama. Was this a dangerhair or troon? Or a poor marketing chump?

Hi, friends. This is your pal Adolph Hitler wishing you a fruitful Yom Kippur.

The training is definitely paying off.

Is that really an official Netflix account? He writes like a teenager texting his friends.

I've already convinced myself way before this that the people running netflix are adults with the mindset of 14 year olds.

Did someone hack there account? I know they are cringe as fuck far leftists. But its usually corporate far left pandering cringe, not nonsensical 12 year old discovering twitter for the first time tween cringe.
