Anyone else cancelled their subscription in protest at the disgusting “Cuties” film? :~

Couple of mainstream news outlets like the Indie and Telegraph taking a pretty odd angle on this:

Here’s the trailer if anyone can stomach it (better if you can’t)

Looks like it's about some young girls entering a dance competition. Where's the outrage?

I bet Netflix are really worried about you cancelling your subscription.

You don't see a problem with adults watching 11 year old girls twerking and dancing suggestively?

Isn't the point of the film shining a light on society making that more and more acceptable with social media, tik tok, insta, etc...but that these are children and have their own sh*t going on without being sexualised?

If that's the point, it's made in a spectacularly bad way

From the trailer, it hardly looks like an erotic film, more of a drama. I didn't notice anything 'suggestive' about it.

No, I haven't. For the same reasons as I don't stop buying a TV licence when the BBC show stuff I don't like. Or cancel my Sky subscription. Or......If I thought you were serious, rather than just trying to provoke I'd be worried.

Do I have a problem watching something that highlights the life of a young girl who comes from a family and culture that doesn't want her to do something her friends are doing and that she's passionate about? No.

As I understand it, the controversy is less from the content of the film and more from the initial poster used to promote it

Judge for yourself

It runs on electricity so you won't be able to access it.

I mean the posters a bit weird to be honest. But the film doesn’t look particularly bad

Is the issue over the incorrect usage of the term ‘Cuties’?
