Netflix sexualising children.

Clarence Boddiker · 20-08-2020 1:10pm #1

Netflix has an upcoming film "Cuties" which features an 11 year old from a conservative family who joins a dance group specialising in sexually provocative Twerking routines. The sexualisation of children is quite out in the open at this stage.

11 year olds...

I have made a complaint, I don't have a subscription anymore.
You seem to be upset..why?

Not remotely upset. Just wondering what the daily outrage threads are supposed to accomplish.

I see children dancing and having fun with their friends from different backgrounds. If you see anything else perhaps you need to look at yourself. Nothing in the trailer would suggest to me it is trying to "sexualise" children!

You could frame this as Netflix sexualising young girls or you look at it as Netflix distributing a movie that aims to highlight the exploitation and sexualisation of young girls.

Movies can be made about a subject without endorsing that subject matter.

You might need to look a bit closer to home if you find these kids dancing sexual. Looks like a fairly standard drama about diverse backgrounds and kids growing up.

Looking at the trailer and the blurb by Netflix it doesn't seem like its about the exploitation and sexualisation of young girls, certainly not coming from a critical perspective anyway.

A few years ago In a previous life on boards I said that being a liberal progressive (due to the ever shifting notions of morality) means that you end up having to defend and endorse all manner of depravity and lunacy. I think I was right on that.

Richard Hillman · 20-08-2020 1:28pm

I won't be one bit surprised when Netflix are implicated in a Nonce Circle. Even without this they were ticking all the boxes with excessive virtue signalling. It's usually a sign for sex creeps

I would agree to an extent, but this isn't a great example of that from the trailer imo.

Weve reached the point where people are more comfortable excusing paedophelia and the sexualisation of children than agreeing with anyone they presume is ‘right wing’

I doubt there's much paedophelia in this show tbf... If anything it looks like it might address the issue at the end where the girls are approached by the older kids.

Sardonicat · 20-08-2020 1:30pm

I watched the trailer? Where's the twerking or even any sexualised moves?

Gerry Hatrick · 20-08-2020 1:30pm

Thanks for pointing this out OP. I will be cancelling my Netflix subs later. Looks like something Jeffrey Epstein would enjoy.

I mean in general, this show is still sexualising children though.

SeaFields · 20-08-2020 1:31pm

Also watched the trailer. I'm at a loss at the assertion by the OP afterwards?!

As far as i can see it's mainly the first still photo in the OP with 3 of the kids in stripper poses

If you don't think this is blatant sexualisation of children then I'm at a loss tbh.

How so? There are loads of shows that do (half of the other teen-crap where the main characters are played by models in their early twenties) but this looks far more like a drama that is going to look at the problems the kids are facing, as opposed to 'look at these kids twerking and getting up to no good'.

OP should have found a better example than just the show title and poster.

Take a long look at yourself if you think this isn't sexualisation of kids. Twerking and dressing like that is akin to something a stripper would do.

Where is the twerking in the trailer? Where are the sexualised dance moves? Did watch the show and see children being sexualised?

The original description of the show (before they changed it due to the backlash):

“Amy, 11, becomes fascinated with a twerking dance crew. Hoping to join them, she starts to explore her femininity, defying her family’s traditions.”

There may not be twerking in the trailer, but it was specifically and purposefully mentioned in the description.

Richard Hillman · 20-08-2020 1:40pm

It's Parental Guidance rating is TV-MA, which is 18+ in our language. It is pure noncery.

seamus · 20-08-2020 1:41pm

The image in the OP is a fake created to make it appear like this is a pageant-style movie about dancing 11 year olds being sexy. It's not an image that Netflix has produced.

The "specialising in twerking routines" is also made up nonsense that has little to do with the film.

Look at the trailer and you'll see very little connection with the fake posters the OP has posted.

This an award-winning French film about a preteens immigrants difficulty aligning her home culture and home life with that around her. Examinig the early sexualisation of children is a theme in this movie.

Of course, American Nazi and religious types are losing their mind about it, while ignoring the fact that they are the biggest creators and consumers of actual child porn in the world.

What was in the video wasn't "twerking" or anything even remotely like it.

And "Dressing like that" - You mean leotards and crop-tops?

What else would you expect them to wear when dancing??

Should they be in Burkas? (One of them actually appeared to be in the clip)

ancapailldorcha · 20-08-2020 1:43pm

I took the OP at their word and didn't watch the video as I'm in a busy lab but I suppose this is why I have to ask for proof so often.

Good to know.

Didn't know American Nazis were producing vast amounts of child porn have to say, every days a school day.

Wheres your proof that is was faked? The poster (which is the American version) has appeared on countless media outlets worldwide.
So to be against paedophilic imagery is to be a Nazi now? Good to know

BorneTobyWilde · 20-08-2020 1:46pm

Seems a harmless trailer. I think the one photo added to the first post made it look like it was a more provocative form of dance, but it's nothing of the sort. It's an alternative to gymnastics these days, to learn to dance.

Gatling · 20-08-2020 1:51pm

Imagine what will happen when the op finds a teen lesbian kiss in another Netflix dance show

Yes, gymnastics, that's were the real child abuse is. And yet still celebrated every 4 years at the Olympics and other various competitions.

Any way, if you have issue, by all means have issue.
However trying to make this a left/right thing makes a mockery of your argument. If you disagree take issue with Netflix or argue with someone who supports it. This blanket moral decline bull**** is the kind of crap had us under the yoke or religious orders for generations who ironically engaged in the mass generational abuse of children and covered it up.
Take things on a case by case basis like most people do, in reality.

No you were definitely proved wrong on that one. It's an idiotic arguement that's wheel out all the time.

The movie is not about twerking. It's a French movie.

Looks like the image is an doctored image. It's a scam. Have to wonder what OP was searching to find this though.
Ironically they've now shared doctor images presenting in children in sexualised poses. I imagine fake child porn is also illegal. Probably being watched as we speak.

I would be of the opinion that we are under the yoke of a new type of religious order...the church of progressivism. A religion in all but name.
And this 'religion' seems to be well on the road as regards viewing children as sexual objects.

Because if you can't, it suggests by virtue of you saying it was doctored..that you find it problematic.

Penn · 20-08-2020 2:06pm

Can someone post proof that the image was doctored and isn't an official Netflix image?

That’s a bit of a jump in fairness.
There’s a lot of complaints about it when you google it.

Subconsciously they want society to lower the bar of acceptablity how they can find comfort with their own depravity.

Seems like either the OP clickbaited you or else youtube is collecting details of people who watch that video to pass them onto the cops as a list of possible paedos. Expect a knock on your front door

By the way OP, good on you for alerting the public that this filth exists .... and also for copying and distributing some of same said photos to a wider audience.

I assume you find war films and horror films equally shocking? It's a film, films often explore difficult topics.

Netflix sexualising children.
