It Could Become Bi-Partisan – Members of Congress Demand Netflix Is Investigated By DOJ For Sexualizing Children
Right Journalism ^ | 09.12.2020 | Natalie Dagenhardt

Groups of conservatives, QAnon supporters, and others on social media have jumped on the release of the French coming-of-age film Cuties and a trending “Cancel Netflix” hashtag to associate the company with pedophilia.

A Netflix spokesperson on Thursday defended “Cuties” as an award-winning “social commentary,” according to the DCNF, “Cuties is a social commentary against the sexualization of young children. It’s an award-winning film and a powerful story about the pressure young girls face on social media and from society more generally growing up – and we’d encourage anyone who cares about these important issues to watch the movie.”

But it seems that Netflix is in real trouble.

Members of Congress are demanding action be taken against Netflix including a possible investigation by the Department of Justice. Republican Arkansas Sen. Tom Cotton and Indiana Rep. Jim Banks have called on the Department of Justice to bring legal action against Netflix for releasing the film “Cuties”

Indiana Rep. Jim Banks called on the Department of Justice to bring legal action against Netflix.

‘As a father of young daughters, I find it sickening. Not only is this movie fodder for pedophiles, it encourages very young girls to defy their parents’ wishes and share pornographic images of themselves with strangers, ‘ Banks told the Daily Caller. ‘Our culture has come a long way in recent years, recognizing the power of television, movies, and magazines to affect young girls.

The only way thing that will bring the rats in will be polling that runs against Netflix

They even admit what it is being criticized for is 100% accurate - but arguing it is actually a moral good for young children to be sexualized.

He is freaking me out. How weird he is!!! It is disgusting to see.

Every single little girl, he has his hands down her chest. Just a bit south of her armpits. Right next to her small breasts. And then, in full view of the cameras, he slides them over to try to cover her breasts. The man is repulsive and thoroughly disgusting; perhaps even dangerous (if he didn’t have constant supervision).

He must NOT become the president. Then, he’d have anything he wanted. Just like Bill Clinton.

And sadly there are people defending Netflix because it still has “good things” on it and they don’t want to give up paying them cash to help them put things like this into society. Sort of like the logic used to defend the funding Planned Parenthood - because they do more than kill children.

Another Pedo Netflex

New Adult Netflix Cartoon ‘Hoops’ Sexualizes Minors With Porn and Prostitutes

Hoops, a raunchy cartoon released on August 21, is definitely for adults. Just as this series isn’t for kids, neither is its main character, Ben Hopkins (Jake Johnson, New Girl), who coaches the Lenwood High School basketball team.

By the way, don’t the parents notice? Why don’t they do anything?

I wouldn’t care what the other people or the media say. That’s my daughter and no one had better touch her.

Exactly right. This movie is a big slap in the face to the hip hop culture.Many people commenting on this film have not watched it or have a clue what it is about.

What do y’all expect when these kids see the same thing during superbowl half time show. That is what cuties was all about. How our kids are subjected to this hip hop culture everyday and they want to emulate that and “fit in” with the cool kids. There was nothing wrong with the movie itself, it was a true depiction of what our youth are exposed to every day and it being normal and kids want to be like britany speers, miley cyrus, madonna etc. What is sickening is how this movie was marketed

We all knew it was coming. It's just going to get worse. "Cuties" is just the pedos prodding the lines, seeing what they can get away with.

I shudder to imagine where we're at ten or even five years from now.

Well since the Obamas are in thick with Netflix, I wouldn’t count on help from Democrats.

Its amazing that girls growing up in a culture of hypersexualization don’t end up completely schizophrenic. Imagine trying to understand this when your heritage, like Amy in the movie, is a paternalistic collectivist Muslim culture that relegates the lives of most women to servants of men.

The allure of using sexual power to resist this inevitability must be incredibly exciting but in the end, as Amy learns, it leads her away from her “true” self which is that of a young girl growing up as a member of a family and community.

Its actually a very conservative message if you can get past the predictable knee jerk reactions of the conservative matriarchy to the superficial mimicry of hypersexual pop icons by clueless little girls who “just want to have fun”.

Netflix knows that if they can sit back and weather the backlash for a while, this will be forgotten when the next big news comes around. Then they can work slowly to bring back the customers they lost. By that time people are desensitized to child exploitation and porn, which then becomes the "new normal". The only way to stop them is if the backlash is so bad and very long term, and their existence as a company is in jeopardy, included with personal losses to the key decision makers and board members.

This is what happens with all these corporations who show their middle finger to their customers. They hold on tight and wait for the backlash to be forgotten and people move on to other things. Then they work quietly to re-coup their losses. This is how they set the new normal in the left wing, corrupt, perverted area.

It may be a commentary against the current — um, trend — but in seeming to display and exploit that very same trend, it’s presentation is ugly at best and downright dangerous at worst.

Wasn’t there a time in which this “sexuality” was a child handing a Valentine’s day card to another cute kid in the classroom or two 12-year-olds having their mutual first kiss in Jr. High?

It’s sad commentary that the US Congress must make this demand of the Executive.

Where is Bagpipes Barr? Where is the FBI?
I’ve seen a small cut of this video and it is disgusting.
Why isn’t the head of Netflix in jail for promoting child porn?

It’s becoming obvious that our government is failing us and have been for awhile now.

***************

The government is failing because it is thoroughly corrupt. As Will Rogers famously said “we have the best government money can buy”.

The congress is just as corrupt as the agencies it is supposed to watch over. So where’s the outrage? By and large the American people seem to be OK with the lying, the deceit, the cronyism, and the corruption. Otherwise they would be removing the scoundrels.

What is sickening is how this movie was marketed

The best analysis simply put. It very well may have a good message overall but is marketed as pornish and unnecessarily graphic with pedophilia imagery defeating the purpose of a positive message.
