Backlash against the French film Cuties continues to escalate, with objectors now demanding Netflix be canceled in response to the movies perceived sexualization of children.
Unbelievable that they released Cuties. So child porn is ok now Netflix? Raise your hand if you agree this is disgusting, wrote one Twitter user, using the hashtag #CancelNetflix.
The Twitter campaign against the streaming giant follows its release in August of a heavily criticized trailer and poster for the flick. The online outrage continues despite Netflix releasing a statement saying were deeply sorry for the inappropriate artwork that we used to promote the film.
Netflix is comfortable with this. Plenty of people will defend it. This is where our culture is at, tweeted one critic Wednesday alongside a clip from the film.
Many are accusing Netflix of angling promotional materials to be about the casts sexuality more than the movies actual plot.
Eleven-year-old Amy starts to rebel against her conservative familys traditions when she becomes fascinated with a free-spirited dance crew, reads the films current Netflix description.
The original summary, however, was reportedly much more salacious, reading, Amy, 11, becomes fascinated with a twerking dance crew. Hoping to join them, she starts to explore her femininity, defying her familys traditions.
As of this writing, over 598,000 people have signed a Change.org petition titled Cancel Netflix subscription, accusing the film of exploiting children, showing underage girls dressed provocatively, dancing sexually and being rated only for adult viewers.
The movie, which also goes by Mignonnes, was written and directed by Maïmouna Doucouré, who, like main character Amy, is French, with parents born in Senegal. Doucouré was inspired to create the film after attending an amateur talent show in Paris.

Biden gives Cuties three thumbs up!
Sometimes I think I’m reading MAD magazine :-)
I am a huge B horror and independent horror movie fan. it relaxes me for some reason :-)
Now, you can’t have two characters without one or both of them being gay.
And then it gets shut off. I think by the early 2000s I had walked out of too many movies that I paid a lot of money for and I stopped going to theaters
I cancelled.
My Netflix opus:
Ill be cancelling your service because of your recent hateful, distasteful, immoral, disgusting program content choices.
Your mothers and fathers would send you to your rooms if they could see what youre doing.
Shame on you!
The Obama deal with you (an abject profit failure, btw) was bad enough. Nobody with an ounce of enlightenment wants to hear anything more from them. Theyve done enough damage to our culture and Nation already. Nobody needs to hear anything about their Woke Change Social Justice crap anymore.
But now youre exploiting eleven year old girls, while screaming Me, too! (Except for ignoring claims against Slow Joe and covering up for Bill Clinton and the Lolita Express.)
How do you even look at yourselves in a mirror? Do you have daughters? Would you hire your own daughters to do a dance? Come to think of it, you probably would. You have no morals, why not?
Youre such hypocrites. Such losers.
Ill be back one one condition: Figure out how to follow a moral compass. I know that is a tall order for you, btw. You might have to do some reading, or ask someone you dont know. Im sure all your friends are losers, too.
Ask your mom. Ask your dad, if you have one.
So, I wont miss you. I follow the Truth. Youre walking in the OPPOSITE direction. In the direction youre headed, youll reap a whirlwind for yourselves.
Such losers.
But theres Good News for you. Theres still time. You can change - and BE changed.
Theres a Way.
Change is good.
But the changes youve made so far only lead to your own destruction.
Im not with you.
Bye
As of this post, Netflix is standing firm. Theyre keeping the film. Its that important to them.
Paul Joseph Watson posted clips of it on twitter. It is as bad as they say. Very disturbing.
“We cancelled our Netflix this morning. Having Zero and his wife, the former royals, and now this evil horse crap; I wont give them a cent any more.”
Same here. In the comments for reason I just put “Cuties”.
I have other relatives who also canceled their account.
Canceled a few years ago for similar reasons and recently decided to give them another try in response to a promo. But now, no thanks.
“I beg to differ. I just watched the short version, in other words I fast forwarded through the movie. Stopping along the way to listen to the script. It is quite apparent what the movie was trying to depict. How our kids are caught up in the (hip) movement, how this child was berated and bullied, joined in to try and belong but in the end realized it was wrong and against her upbringing. And this was no where near child porn. End of rant.”
I only needed to see the animated screen that pops up when you click the down arrow by the title. The little clip is not even a full trailer, but it showed enough to see that the film graphically portrays little girls, not yet even teenagers, dancing in sexually suggestive ways. I’m aware that this is not particularly unusual in our culture, but I do not think there is a legitimate reason to pay child actresses to do such performances, capture them on video, and then sell this to consumers. Those who continue to pay Netflix are financing more of the same.
Netflix was warned with petitions not to air this. They decided not to listen.
Theyll find out after the rapture when that which is now restraining evil is taken out of the way.
If people think its bad now, just wait until they see demonic evil allowed to operate unrestrained.
THIS is okay...but telling a woman she looks nice today is akin to sexual assault??? Hmmm - lefty logic.
They keep going for this stuff. They are making Bible prophecy happen.
There is no pre-Tribulation rapture
Why haven’t they all been ARRESTED AND CHARGED with Producing Kiddie Porn??
The DOJ Regularly and Routinely PROSECUTE Americans for Traveling Abroad to have Sex with Children, this is MUCH WORSE, they Traveled to a Foreign Country to make CHILD PORNOGRAPHY!!!
I only watch TCM. Or an occasional house fixing DIYer show. I admit I am clueless.
Honestly I am too. Remember its a government service so of course its going to be a useless program. Total waste of money as are so many others.
Same here. Never fails, my wife and I will find a good show on television, and half-way through the season a homersensual shows up and ruins it. Bye-bye.
