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 bet you can't wait

Ya sound a bit disappointed.
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.

Expect a knock on my front door for watching a link to youtube of a trailer of a film thats on Netflix. OK

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

Homosexuality =/= Fetishising of children. Please don't put these on the same level.

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!

Did you see the photo in the OP. Are you telling people you don't find that depraved?

Goodshape · 20-08-2020 4:15pm

I was expecting much worse (or even just something bad) judging by the poster - but the trailer looks to be more aware of itself.

Maybe this film just isn't aimed at old straight men.

It may well be depraved, but it seems as if its a photoshopped pic.

jam_mac_jam · 20-08-2020 4:18pm

I think its the promotional picture that is a bad idea. A really bad idea.

I don't think the original French version used the picture.

I’m a left wing socialist and I think this is vile. Completely depraved.

Twerking is an inherently sexualised form of dancing, the poses these girls are making are imitations of sexual exhibitionism - whether they’re aware of it or not. It’s the equivalent of giving small children Playboy paraphernalia, clothes with suggestive lettering across the backside and Child beauty pageants etc.

I honestly don’t know how people can look at this and not bat an eyelid.

RasTa · 20-08-2020 4:21pm

If that trailer offends you, then you are a pedo or have some attraction to children.

Yeah, the people who oppose sexualisation of children are the pedophiles while those who want to indulge it are open-minded is it? Rubbish.

The fact you can identify a dynamic of sexualisation and are opposed to it doesn’t mean you’re a nonce for f*ck’s sake. I don’t know why you feel the need to defend this as entirely innocuous when it’s blatantly obvious that it isn’t.

But the film seems to be about a young girl escaping her strict conservative background and finding a (I think the trailer implied: questionable) outlet with some new friends.

I didn't get a sense that it was glorifying or even endorsing anything, but then I (we?) haven't seen or heard how it all plays out. I'd be anticipating some moral message in there before the end.

But there are people in the thread who had no problem with it which is frankly sick.

Apparently it's the US release poster.

The original french poster is nothing like it

That's not good

^^^ nothing wrong with that.

Polar opposite to the other one.

Mellor · 20-08-2020 4:33pm

If only there was a way to find where a picture is from online. :rolleyes:

WrenBoy · 20-08-2020 4:39pm

I'll have to reserve judgement.

How did I know that certain posters would frame reaction to this as a left/right thing? Is there anything that can't be spun that way nowadays? :rolleyes: .

A binary way of looking at and perceiving the world is rather appealing don't you think? Rather than acknowledging nuance and endless complexity it's much simpler to frame it simplistically as left v right.

Yeah it did seem to be implying it's questionable.
Reminds me a small bit of the movie Thirteen, if they had instagram added

Netflix Apologizes For “Inappropriate” ‘Cuties’ Poster That Was Criticized For Sexualizing Children

So , the issue is with the crappy promo image that someone in Netflix used for the US release , not with the actual Movie , the content of which bears no resemblance to the Promo image.

Netflix have removed the promo image.

Its quite clear from the trailer that these children are presented in a wholly inappropriate manner.

I think you are really (perhaps deliberately) missing the point of the movie entirely.

It is not saying "Hey , look at this great thing that kids are doing" , it's showing the reality of life for young teenagers and how difficult it is to avoid the pitfalls of Social media etc.

Based on the promo and the interview with the director , there's no "glorifying" going on at all.

Well we don't know that yet, the film isn't out. Judging from the promo it doesn't look so good to me.

Oh, so it is not a"fake" image that has "nothing to do with" Netflix.

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

Of course, American Nazi and religious types are losing their mind about it.

The made up nonsense you refer to is in the bio of the official trailer on Netflix's verified YouTube account. I think people have a right to be conerned about this without being tarred as Nazis.
