Streaming giant Netflix has apologized after being criticized for sexualising little girls in the poster of an upcoming French film “Cuties”.
The artwork for the French-language film depicted four adolescent girls wearing revealing cheerleading outfits and posting provocatively. The original tagline for the film said: “Amy, 11, becomes fascinated with a twerking dance crew. Hoping to join them, she starts to explore her femininity, defying her family’s traditions.”A petition campaigning to remove the film received over 30,000 signatures, NME reported.
“There is no need for this kind of content in that age group, especially when sex trafficking and pedophilia are so rampant! There is no excuse, this is dangerous content!”“It is so revealing that the first major @netflix original to centre young Black girls hinges on explicitly sexualising 11 year old children.”
