Anyone else canceling Netflix?

[douglas1999]

Netflix has billions of dollars, nobody is getting downsized. The point of boycotting them is to put social pressure and stigma on them, so that they might decide to just simply take down the sex abuse movie. Does this mean boycotting is always good? No. It's good in this specific case.

to be quite fair it is being blown out of proportion a little bit.

I watched the trailer for the show after my friend sending me a link to a petition to get the show pulled off netflix when I hadn't even heard of it yet to see what the fuck this was all about. If you watched the cuties trailer and immediately drew pedo vibes and were confused by what you were seeing I think it is possible some of the problem lies within. After I watched the trailer, my first thought was "well this is stupid" and went on to watch something good like Mr. Robot.

To give you a little perspective if you haven't seen the trailer and don't wish to, it seems to be about some young pre-teen girls (prob 11-12 years old) entering into a dance competition. There's a scene in the trailer where the girls are dancing a bit lewd (twerking, etc) which is what I think sparked most of the outrage.

Anyways I just think its a big nothing-burger and with the way 2020 has been going people are just looking for things to burn to the ground for any reason they can find.

hm. I dont even agree with beauty pagent contests with little girls. I think britney spears was in them and she seems to have turned out fine. I dont mean to get political but sense this is off topic, i dont think a little girl should be pressured to be thinking about what she prefers in a partner at that age. Oh well whatever ill let someone else worry about it.

Cancelled it a long time ago, citing they were sickos heading towards pedo shit. People called me crazy. Now look.

I like that 'confused' thrown in there to denigrate anyone with objections to the film. Like you weren't confused, but that's because you're a paragon of clear thinking, unlike those other straw people who don't even.

I don't a think a single person said oh man this is confusing. In order to refute the implication that Cuties is immoral you create a whole class of people who are getting vibes and are confused.

Those people don't exist.

Maybe you don't have children or aren't aware of how humans develop. Let me explain. At age 12 a human being is not developed. Everyone agrees, except for nomadic people or isolated islanders. A person who is 12 is not given agency. They can't enter into contracts, they can't do a million things because we classify them as children. They're not allowed to get married, have sex, shoot guns, drive cars, etc. This is because not only are their decision-making powers non-existent, they are also liable to get all fucked up in the head due to the intensity of some of the adult events that they can experience, the same ones adult people have the capacity to handle. Things like rape. Let's move along though.

So you are 12, an undeveloped human being depending on an adult to provide you with a moral compass and guidance, and that adult says "Hey Médina, would you like to be in the movies?" and you're like yassss. So you go to the warehouse where they have lights and cameras and that adult says "Here Médina, put on this stripper outfit" and you do. Then another adult says "Médina, I need you to get down on your knees and reach right there, no lower, lower, yes right there, and I want you to grab it and pull it up!" and you do it but you do it wrong so the adult has you practice grabbing your crotch for an hour until you're doing it just right. You're watching four other girls all practicing grabbing their crotches and you feel like you're doing it as well as them. The adults around you approve. You're ready for the big time!

So they film you grinding the warehouse floor and grabbing your crotch for the rest of the day and you're tired, but then they say "Médina you have a speaking part!". So you say your lines:

Do you think we can have sensitive coming of age stories that involve very serious themes using child actors without making films that appeal only to pedophiles? Of course we can!

But Cuties is not that. Cuties is a film that appeals only to pedophiles and when I say pedophiles I include people who are "pedo-curious" like if I watch this film and get a little hard or wet or both well then it's a serious film that explores child-sexuality in thoughtful way and that's exactly what it is, I mean I would never, man it's a little hot in here.

Not only is Cuties immoral because the production itself is damaging to developing "actors", children who have to talk about taking cocks in the ass, who have to grab their crotches and grind in front of a crowd, who are betrayed by their guardians for lucre, but it is also immoral because it only has prurient value.

There is no education going on. No one is better off or more informed about anything because of this movie. There is no art. It's just a regular film, made using standard methods, anyone can do it if they know how to click a mouse. Any themes it explores are trite and meaningless. It's devoid of value and it only degrades.

I'm not surprised this film was made by someone from a culture where they cut girl's clits off and reduce their agency to that of cattle. Only someone who has a total disregard for children and especially the girl children could conceive a monstrosity like this.

huh well thats a big wall of text and not gonna lie I only skimmed it mostly because I really just dont care that much.

I guess I should have made it clearer my only experience with the show is the trailer which didn't show much.
So, idk if you speaking in hypotheticals or of any of that actually happens in the show.

Ok after doin a little more research is appears the show is actually pretty fuckin bad, the trailer makes it seem more mild but it sounds like there are some pretty disgusting scenes in the show and on that note yes burn it down

For fuck's sake. As a totally divided country I thought this was one of the things we could agree on.

Sexualizing the little girl washing her hair in the shampoo commercial is on you, not the shampoo company. But there comes a point where you throw up your hands and wonder what the fuck someone was thinking...

Shitting. Menses. Child sexuality. Some issues just don't need to be explored outside of academic/medical settings.

no no no no no, bigot.

your programmers have decided the next wave of programming for your indoctrination. Get with the program bigot, you have 3 days to correct yourself before you get expelled from the Academy and are left to wallow with the rabble you despise. Are you saying black lives don't matter?
