Netizens Trend #CancelNetflix For Releasing ‘Cuties’; Film That Shows Sexualization Of Young Girls
Two days after Cuties released on Netflix, netizens show their outrage for showing children in a sexualized manner. Users trend #CancelNetflix on Twitter on no 1 position
#CancelNetflix has been trending on Twitter since morning. The reason behind this trend is the latest French film Cuties. The subject line of the film has got the film in trouble and the biggest streaming platform Netflix is facing the backlash from the active users on the platform for showcasing such a controversial movie. Yes, you heard it right, #CancelNetflix is trending on Twitter only because of the movie Cuties which is helmed by writer/director Maïmouna Doucouré.
Cuties is based on the plot of a Senegalese young girl, who is settled in Paris and joins a free-spirited dance clique’ program to escape family dysfunction. After reviewing the film, critics believe the film portrays children in a sexualized manner. Well, Cuties did not face any issues in France or at Sundance but the people are going crazy over Netflix for showcasing such a controversial topic so much that netizens got #CancelNetflix trending. To everyone’s attention, Maïmouna Doucouré won the World Cinema section directing award for the film in Sundance Film Festival.
But the response was vice-versa on Netflix, the best online film streaming platform, which is loved by millions for its content. The movie released on September 9, on Netflix and it became the talking point for everyone.
The 11 year old girls who were sexually exploited filming Cuties shot those scenes in front of a director, a DP, a gaffer, their parents, a choreographer, a MUA, a hair person, a camera assistant, a wardrobe person, extras and more. Not one adult protected them. #CancelNetflix

#CancelNetflix because sexualizing 11 year olds and having a movie about them for 18+ year olds is clearly feeding pedophilia. pic.twitter.com/nFRGfgAEvj

What happened #Netflix ? Like seriously? Children must be protected from abusive thing such as like this. Violence against children takes many forms. It can be physical, emotional or SEXUAL.
