Last month Netflix put out a short trailer titled, Cuties, which received so much backlash the channel had to issue an apology.
Well, apparently that didn't stop them from airing the movie.
It was shown last night for the first time.
Today Twitter was ablaze with negative comments about the show trying to normalize pedophilia. Some think they are trying to get ahead of the information that will be coming out from G. Maxwell's tapes.

After all the backlash from today, Netfilx stocks plummeted. An entire Twitter thread was providing proof of people canceling their subscriptions.
YAY!

Quote:Netflix has issued an apology for releasing a poster for an upcoming movie that online petitioners said sexualizes children.
The streaming giant plans to release “Cuties,” a French film about a young girl who joins a dance troupe, on Sept. 9. The premise of the film, which features the young cast members dancing seductively, has received backlash and so has the artwork used to promote the flick.
The Netflix poster and the art used to promote the movie at Sundance differ heavily, with the newer version showing the tween actresses posing in cropped dance costumes.
“We’re deeply sorry for the inappropriate artwork that we used for ‘Cuties.’ It was not OK, nor was it representative of this French film, which premiered at Sundance. We’ve now updated the pictures and description,” the service told Deadline in response to the backlash.

Quote:The hashtag “#CancelNetflix” was the No. 1 trending topic on Twitter in the U.S. Thursday, after “Cuties” premiered Sept. 9 on Netflix.
A petition on Change.org calling on Netflix customers to cancel their subscriptions over “Cuties” and other content on the streaming service “that exploits children and creates a disturbing vibe,” currently has nearly 600,000 signers.
Netflix did not respond to a request for comment.

Conservative advocacy group Parents Television Council said in a statement Thursday that after reviewing the film, it “stands by its earlier criticism that the TV-MA-rated film sexualizes children.”
According to PTC, the young female actors were trained in highly sexualized dance routines; were given lines with “foul, vulgar language” including f—; and were made to wear revealing clothing. In addition, in one scene, Amy is shown pulling down her underwear to photograph her genitals to post online, and in another she tries to seduce a man (who is a family member) to get out of trouble for stealing his cell phone.

Look at that! I guess pedophilia isn't as popular among "regular" people as it seems to be with Hollywood weirdos.
Will you be cancelling your subscription (if you have one), or will you keep on supporting a channel who is trying to normalize pedophilia?
