Backlash against the French film “Cuties” continues to escalate, with objectors now demanding Netflix be canceled in response to the movie’s perceived sexualization of children.

“Unbelievable that they released ‘Cuties’. So child porn is ok now Netflix? Raise your hand if you agree this is disgusting,” wrote one Twitter user, using the hashtag #CancelNetflix.

The Twitter campaign against the streaming giant follows its release in August of a heavily criticized trailer and poster for the flick. The online outrage continues despite Netflix releasing a statement saying “we’re deeply sorry for the inappropriate artwork that we used” to promote the film.

“Netflix is comfortable with this. Plenty of people will defend it. This is where our culture is at,” tweeted one critic Wednesday alongside a clip from the film.




I canceled mine this morning after 8 years with the service. Will you?

I haven't been following this story, but I thought it was just a badly edited trailer that made the movie look like it was about something that it's not. Is that not the case?

I remember being deeply uncomfortable with Little Miss Sunshine because of that child pageant stuff at the end, which was maybe the point. This sounds like an entire movie of that, so I would never have watched it anyway.

Another Cuties thread?

Was the previous one taken down or something?

Yes, the mods deleted it for obvious reasons.

I find it interesting that people choose to go through the hassle of cancelling their subscription instead of reading what "Cuties" actually is about. Interesting - but not surprising.

The first I'm hearing of this.

I'm guessing you don't have a Twitter. This shit is everywhere.

So I just watched the trailer. What's the issue here? It looks like a coming of age movie about teenager girls dancing.

No the trailer doesn't do it justice, lol! People are posting the more explicit scenes on Twitter.

I was kind of surprised it was taken down tbh. Unless something happened over night it was a pretty civil discussion. I can't believe that we can't at least talk about a film on here. We are in the forums afterall.

Ah...so it's just the thing this month that conservatives are getting upset about. Gotcha.

I'm not surprised. It got kinda creepy and political, so I can see why the mods deleted it.

I cancelled Netflix 8 years ago because I had an idea that something like this might be put up on the service one day. Plus the fact that there isn't anything on there that I wanted to watch.

Note: It hasn't, because this alleged mass exodus is a lot of nonsense.

I admit, I wouldn't cancel my Netflix account. But I've seen some of those clips on Twitter and...

Didn't stop you from buying Polanski flicks.

No, I just won't watch it. Like a normal person with a measured response.
