New Adult Netflix Cartoon 'Hoops' Sexualizes Minors With Porn and Prostitutes

Netflix's 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.

....

Beyond enticing minors with pornography, Ben tries to better his team by scouting 16-year-old Matty (A.D. Miles). Ben is so desperate to have an unenthusiastic Matty play that he makes him an offer. “Look, if you penetrate a woman before Saturday, will you play in the game?” Ben asks, taking Matty’s non answer as a yes.

Ultimately, Ben decides to seek out the services of Connie (Mary Holland), a friend of his who is a washed out prostitute. As Connie explains her price point, Ben vocally disagrees:

“The show is rated MA, rightfully so. Yet Hoops features impressionable minors being taken advantage of by adults. Many of these young men, especially Matty, seem to be lacking a positive role model in their life, which otherwise ought to be Ben, as their coach.

Hoops might be horrifying on its own, but it is far from the only Netflix show sexualizing minors:

When it comes to animation, Big Mouth sexualizes middle schoolers while F Is for Family sexualized young children.
You may have heard the outcry surrounding Cuties, a film premiering on Netflix which features scantily clad twerking preteens.
Netflix canceled their series involving drag queen RuPaul and a 10-year old. It was only for one season, but shouldn’t have been on at all.
Nostalgia be damned, Netflix’s television adaptation of The Babysitters Club engaged in child abuse by featuring a trans child.
From the very first scene, Netflix let viewers know that Teenage Bounty Hunters was going to be a problem, as a 16-year-old seduces her boyfriend with Bible verses.
There’s plenty to Netflix’s Sex Education series. Its first season featured an abortion, while its second season opened with trans teens, masturbation, and the Morning After pill.”

ALL American popular culture is vomit. I rigorously tune it OUT

The instant I see some thing the least bit off color-I am outta there. Because I know it will only get worse and worse.

I have the feeling I am being slapped in the face with that stuff and I have had enough. I am tired of being insulted like that.

There’s less and less I will tolerate, including the disgusting commercials... so I boycott that sponsor TOO! Everything is at the level of the gutter and it’s too much.

If only we could identify those who are trying to destroy the morals of American society...

If only...

"Defining deviancy down." We've certainly come a long way since people who made TV shows were so concerned about its affects on society they wouldn't even depict married couples as sleeping in the same bed. That may have been overkill, but at least they cared back then. You can look at how things evolved by watching TV shows and how they are made every 10 years - more and more depraved, with the conscience of society becoming more and more desensitized. In 10 years, even this kind of content described in this article will be considered "mild" most likely.

It boggles the mind that someone could sit down and write this stuff, an actor would agree to voice these kinds of lines, and that anyone could watch this kind of content for even 5 seconds without being repulsed to turn it off. Yet there are apparently plenty who do.

Reading an article like this makes me very glad I don’t have a TV.

I remember as a kid all the buzz about “Fritz the Cat”.

Then I finally saw parts of it a few years ago, Holy Crap, they could never get away with that stuff today.

Who knows how many deviants there are out there? They are addicts so they must be devoted viewers.

Is Netflix shown throughout the world?
