Netflix has now released to the public a french film which sexualizes 11-year-olds called Cuties, and it’s really bad. Here’s a couple of clips to give you an idea [PARENTAL WARNING ADVISED]:
Netflix just released the controversial 'Cuties' and it's worse than you could imagine. Make no mistake: Netflix is at the forefront of sexualizing children and normalizing pedophilia! pic.twitter.com/emiMzk8w1z

As Ghost Jim notes, it not only sexualizes children but normalizes pedophilia. In the first video the girls are twerking and moving like they are having sex. In the second clip the girls are dancing in a sexualized way while opening their legs and showing their crotches.
It’s reprehensible and has prompted quite a bit of outrage. In fact the Muslim country of Turkey has ordered Netflix to remove the film from their platforms:
At least Turkey knows child exploitation when it sees it!https://t.co/IjlANupBAu

Matt Walsh and others have weighed in on it as well:
Netflix released that “Cuties” movie about twerking 11 year olds. Fuller clips of the film are now circulating. It’s way worse than I thought, and I thought it would be extremely bad. VERY explicit sexual dancing, girls grabbing themselves, crotch shots, etc. These are children.

By the way, this is why we need decency laws. Some of you have laughed at me when I advocate for that. Well, this is what laughing at decency gets you. This shit should be illegal. Everyone involved should go to jail. That’s the reaction of a healthy society.

I used to dismiss people who said one day people would try to normalize pedophilia.
Those days are over. We are a extremely sick society. God help us

As you can imagine this has prompted a new round of cancellations for Netflix:

I’ll end with this deleted tweet from The New Yorker, who thinks we’re just a bunch of ‘scandal-mongers’:
tweet deleted, but the piece by @tnyfrontrow is still up in the @NewYorker, and the List comes for all.
