The controversy surrounding 'Cuties' continues to build as four state attorneys general are now calling on Netflix to remove the film from the streaming service, saying that it sexualizes young girls.

sent Monday, Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost, Florida Attorney General Ashley Moody, Louisiana Attorney General Jeff Landry and Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton urged Netflix CEO Reed Hastings to pull the movie, saying"Cuties" is “fodder for those with criminal imaginations, serving to normalize the view that children are sexual beings."

Earlier Monday, U.S. Rep. Vern Buchanan, R-Fla., criticized the film as he introduced legislation in Congress to ban the sale of childlike sex dolls. U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, U.S. Sen. Josh Hawley, R-Mo. and U.S. Sen. Tom Cotton, R-Ark., have all spoken out against the film, with Cruz

Typical Evangelical Christians offended by everyday life and adolescents of a young girl becoming a teenager, no wonder this country is all fucked up!!!!

GovAbbott c’mon. Speak up.

Anyone who defends this doesn't need to be in any civilized society. Nothing about this film is ok.

Gees! Did they get riled up when JonBenet Ramsay died being paraded like an adult sexy diva in beauty pageants at age 6 by her very rich mom & dad Patsy & John Ramsay?That was child abuse. But of course not. The parents r privileged white GOPs.

How TF did netflix green light this film ? Shame on you Netflix!

More unjustified censorship. All the more reason for Netflix to air the program. Don't like the subject content, don't watch it.

How many of these congressmen have daughters and granddaughters in similar dance programs?

Didn’t California pass a law that they won’t charge men that rape kids? If they are a certain age?

There is no ConspiracyTheory here, only evil SAVETHECHILDERN

Pedophiles did this for a purpose so that viewers will think that this is a new normal to save them from prosecution. Pedos days are numbered tick tock! Trump 2020 💪

Why so much hate and outrage over this film? The U.S. aired the series Dance Moms for over 8 years and its sexualization of young girls was comparable, yet I never heard about any controversy. I get the sense that people are angry because they were told to be.

All pedos must go down !

It was disgusting.

Why so much backlash over a French film, written/directed by a French woman, that criticizes how modern society and digital culture are affecting adolescent girls, when the content isn't any more shocking than several older and recent U.S. films?

It does and anyone defending that trash is horrible.

Still in absolute disbelief that anyone in their right mind would 1) let their own child appear in this and 2) Think it was ok to air publicly, privately and by gosh on a paid channel... whatthehelicopter ?

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. There is no overlap in the Venn diagram between people who have seen this film and those criticizing it.

Pedophiles made it. Pedophiles watch it. Pedophiles defend it.

I misjudged the level and scope of anger.

Only liberals would defend this movie!

Its such a big embarrassment when such movies are made by a women director .

Disgusting pedos CancelNetflx

The pedophile apologists hate to see it.

They're too young to consent to sex, they're too young to consent to engaging in sexualized dancing on camera and have it broadcast to the world. They don't have the capacity to understand what they are putting into the world.

I never liked the film! I hate sexualizing young girls that should be taught good morals. This world is gradually tilting to doom

FFS Netflix get rid of that movie

What's Going On With the Cuties Movie Controversy?Some have called for Netflix to pull the film from its streaming service and director Maïmouna Doucouré says she has gotten death threats. But most people still haven't seen the film itself. It was controversial before it moved to Netflix. It was controversial when it showed at Sundance. An award does not mitigate the problems at any stage. The question is why was it not controversial enough to prevent production. Of course it won!!!! Pedos in the filming industry had to praise and reward their own kind. And why they always want to show that a muslims life is tooooo difficult to handle!!! A horrible movie for kids to watch !!

Why Netflix's Cuties Is Sparking Intense Backlash Across the Internet - E! OnlineNetflix apologized for the 'inappropriate artwork' they used to promote French indie film Cuties, which was praised by critics at the 2020 Sundance Film Festival. As it should. Who though making a movie about 11-year old girls doing sexual dances was acceptable To put it simply, its like a Law and Order: SVU doing an episode on stopping a child porn ring, but in the episode showing graphic child pornography, and then saying, NOOO you don't get it we're showing how terrible child porn is, you nuts! You think the poster was the reason. You can’t be that stupid.
