GROSS: Netflix's new ‘Cuties’ film features preteen girls in “twerking dance crew”
Netizens are furious after Netflix began advertising an upcoming film which many are saying is a pedophile’s dream.
Cuties, directed by French-Senegalese screenwriter Maïmouna Doucouré, will be available on Netflix on September 9, and is the story of an 11-year-old girl who becomes “fascinated with a twerking dance crew.” The plot goes on to say that the 11-year-old, named Amy, “starts to explore her femininity.”
The poster for the upcoming movie includes a number of very young-looking girls dressed in salacious costumes, short skirts, bralettes, baring their midriffs as they pose in provocative positions, including one girl on her hands and knees.
In the official trailer for Cuties, it is revealed Amy is a young girl from Africa whose fascination with dancing appears to come from her desire to escape her repressive, traditionalist family. She does this by joining a group of her peers, training to participate in a twerking competition. Even the short trailer contains many scenes which some could find questionable.
While Netflix is advertising the upcoming flick as a “coming of age tale,” many people have taken to Twitter to express outrage at the sexualization of young girls.
It looks like this is blatantly sexualizing kids. Right? @netflix #cuties

I just found a trailer for the movie "Cuties" on Netflix and the blatant sexualization of young girls is DISGUSTING. No one wants to see their child dressed and posed like this. WHY IS NO ONE IS TALKING ABOUT THIS? #cuties @netflix pic.twitter.com/a4rWey3cuj

Other social media users are directly tagging Netflix, demanding they remove the film or explain their reasoning for purchasing the rights to it.
So @netflix we gotta talk here.

You are pushing this show Cuties yeah? 11 year old girls all twerking. Amy, 11, becomes fascinated with a twerking dance crew. Hoping to join them, she starts to explore her femininity, defying her family's traditions.
The fuck is wrong with you?
One user even created a Change.org petition demanding the movie-sharing platform reconsider its upcoming release of Cuties.
