Adolescence co-creator Jack Thorne has now responded. The right-wing messaging against the series blew up when Elon Musk reposted a message from Ian Miles Cheong, a far-right figure known for the misogynist harassment campaign GamerGate.

Elon Musk, the CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, recently criticized the Netflix series "Adolescence" on social media, calling it "woke propaganda." The series, which explores themes of identity and social issues among teenagers, has stirred controversy for its progressive content. In response, one of the show's co-creators, who remains unnamed in the article, defended the series by emphasizing the importance of representation and the need for stories that reflect contemporary societal issues. The co-creator argued that art should challenge viewers and provoke thought, not merely entertain, and highlighted Musk's comments as an example of resistance to narratives that push for inclusivity and diversity. This exchange has sparked a broader discussion on the role of media in shaping cultural and political discourse.
