Neither Barack and Michelle Obama nor their former National Security Adviser Susan Rice have weighed in on the firestorm surrounding Cuties, a French coming-of-age drama that is the subject of widespread criticism for its blatant sexualization of pre-pubescent children.
Both the Obamas and Rice are closely connected to the company, with the former president and first lady currently in the middle of a “multi-year agreement” signed back in May 2018 to help produce films and series for the platform. Rice, meanwhile, was appointed to the Netflix board that same year.
Cuties, which was released on Netflix Wednesday, is a French comedy-drama whose protagonist is an 11-year-old Senagalese Muslim girl from a traditional, yet dysfunctional family who joins a dance group known as Mignonnes, also the French name of the film.
Unlike a normal dance group for girls her age, the children’s activity involves highly provocative and sexualized dancing, with twerking (a style predicated on shaking one’s buttocks up and down) at the center of their performances.
The film has provoked outrage among the wider population, with its YouTube trailer attracting an incredible 1.6 million dislikes compared to just 39,000 thumbs up. Meanwhile, around 600,000 people have signed a petition pledging to cancel their Netflix subscription because of the film, while the hashtag #CancelNetflix trended on Twitter on Thursday.
“As I have been researching content that exploits children and creates a disturbing vibe, I have found many shows and movies on Netflix to have similar inappropriate behaviors as Cuties, the movie this petition was originally based off,” the latest petition states. “From cuties to Big Mouth to other movies mocking religions and exploiting children Netflix is no longer the family-friendly streaming service I once believed it to be!”

defining deviancy down.
This was just the natural progression - far from the first perverted thing Netflix has placed in its lineup including dropping porn into so-called “mainstream” programming just to put it there. You tolerate some types of perversion, it only continues to get worse from there.
Haven’t heard anything from the idiot formerly known as Prince Harry, either.
Netflix and others must be destroyed. Facebook, Google/Youtube, Amazon, Twitter.... All must be brought down. Don’t use them.
Truly sickening.
The sexuallization of children strikes me as more of Clinton thing, than an Obama thing... But if the shoe fits.
Film critics my ass...damn demonic perverts is what they mean.
This!
Right on.
This is degression normalization -
Probably will be used to soften “pizza gate” type shock, and cause some to blow any such activity off.
So, how old are the girls used to make this junk?
Who are the pedophile pimps involved in scripts?
How much money has been/is involved in essentially prostituting and further perverting the girls?
Extreme prejudice should be dealt to all involved.
....when I was in LE - and even prior to that — the CP industry would have magazines titled like this ... what was once underground and hidden — has come full circle to where they are pushing this crap ... with CA passing that law on 14 yr olds as well — there a Biblical story about this — and it did not end well for the ones committing these sins!
Never watched anything on Netflix, yet. My TV is mostly off...
Ive been saying this for years now, those of you sitting at home and feeling helpless and feel they cant do much, those of us mobile, WE HAVE A POWER IF USED IN UNISON WILL CRUSH THEM, ALL OF THEM........PURCHASE POWER. cancel your subscriptions, dont patronize, stop spending your money on products and services they provide. The 13 percent, BLM antifa rioters and looters is not enough to support them.
Pay attention to commercials, They are geared toward supporting these cretans Added to my list which is long are target and sprite soft drinks
These people need to be prosecuted and locked away for good. Won’t say what I really feel should be done to them.....
Anyone that pays Netflix to enter their home is supporting the moral decay that is engulfing our society. You are part of the problem. It matters not what the Obamas and Susan Rice do. The future of Netflix does not depend on them, but it does depend on the choice that you make.
Absolutely “unhygienic” at every mental, health levels,.. and they lecture us on Covid... utter trash. They make a cynical joke even of sexuality itself. These people destroy everything. I am sick and tired of these deranged communists.
Yep, same with the NFL... they already started queening up Climate Change with Greta, the exploitation was obvious then. The coup against blacks and now the coup against children’s welfare on its way.
I don’t have Netflix, so I can’t cancel it, but you can go to their website to leave complaints, which I did last night. All of us need to look at some of the clips that are available online, and write a strong message on that complaint board. Thousands of strongly negative messages do not go unnoticed, especially when they make sense. We need thousands and thousands of us—
THIS MEANS YOU!!!
Child Pornography
The U.S. Department of Justice defines child pornography as any visual depiction of sexually explicit conduct involving a minor (persons less than 18 years old). Images of child pornography are also referred to as child sexual abuse images. Notably, the legal definition of sexually explicit conduct does not require that an image depict a child engaging in sexual activity. A picture of a naked child may constitute illegal child pornography if it is sufficiently sexually suggestive. Additionally, the age of consent for sexual activity in a given state is irrelevant; any depiction of a minor less than 18 years of age engaging in sexually explicit conduct is illegal.[i]
Federal law prohibits the production, distribution, importation, reception, or possession of any image of child pornography. A violation of federal child pornography laws is a serious crime, and convicted offenders face fines severe statutory penalties
